  • The land of make-believe: Metaphor, explanation, and fiction in Toon’s psychological world

    Tamás Demeter, László Kocsis et al.ARTICLEPhilosophical Psychology2026

    In Mind as Metaphor, Adam Toon interprets folk psychological discourse metaphorically. Based on Kendall Walton’s theory of metaphor, he argues that folk psychology ought to be understood in terms of prop-oriented make-believe that relies on representationally essential metaphors. Toon insists that this fictionalist view of everyday mental talk preserves what we commonly think folk psychology can achieve: it does not only rationalize but explains …

  • Comparing Physical Activity Levels and Metabolic Quotients to Quantify the Physical Activity Transition in Rwanda

    Open AccessAlexandra R Harris, Andrew K Yegian et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Human Biology2025

    Objectives Although humans used to be physically active hunter‐gatherers and subsistence farmers, there has been a recent and ongoing global physical activity transition as billions of people adopt industrial lifestyles primarily in urban areas. In order to analyze how to quantify the magnitude of this physical activity transition in a natural experiment, we compared two different metrics of physical activity metabolism among intensive subsistenc…

The site covered the northern part of a large contiguous Migration Period settlement, the southern extents of which were discovered within the same project. The settlement occupying both banks of the Tisza River's backwater had been inhabited for centuries. The first settlers in the Bronze Age (leaving beh…

  • The liberation of nature and knowledge: A case study on Hans Reichenbach’s naturalism

    Open AccessLászló Kocsis, Adam Tamas TubolyARTICLESynthese2021References: 45

    Our main goal in this paper is to present and scrutinize Reichenbach’s own naturalism in our contemporary context, with special attention to competing versions of the concept. By exploring the idea of Reichenbach’s naturalism, we will argue that he defended a liberating, therapeutic form of naturalism , meaning that he took scientific philosophy (or philosophy of nature, Naturphilosophie ) to be a possible cure for bad old habits and traditional …

On the basis of the positioning of the Chi-Rho the artefact was likely to have been used while in the vertical position.Taking into account the current physical state of the object, there is a h…
