Baptists in Scotland and Their Publications in the Long 20th Century
The impression is given in studies of theological books published in Scotland in the long twentieth-century that Scottish Baptists produced few significant works of academic scholarship. There is also no indication of any significant contribution made by more popular studies in theology or in church history. There is no doubt that only a very small number of scholars from this constituency have produced notable works in the fields of biblical stu…
Epistemic repugnance four ways
Headaches for epistemologists
Imagine that one must either lose all of one’s certainty about some very important topic – about the meaning of life, for example – or a small amount of certainty about each of one’s more “mundane” beliefs – beliefs about the color of one’s socks, where one’s keys are, whether it will rain, etc. One ought to take the latter loss, no matter how many mundane beliefs are at stake. Conversely, if one had to give up a tiny bit of certainty about the i…
Why Impossible Options Are Better: Consequentializing Dilemmas
To consequentialize a deontological moral theory is to give a theory which issues the same moral verdicts, but explains those verdicts in terms of maximizing or satisficing value. There are many motivations for consequentializing: to reconcile plausible ideas behind deontology with plausible ideas behind consequentialism, to help us better understand deontological theories, or to extend deontological theories beyond what intuitions alone tell us.…
Why so negative? Evidence aggregation and armchair philosophy
The irrelevance of dispositions and difficulty to intuitions about the “hard problem” of consciousness: A response to Sytsma, Machery, and Huebner
The irrelevance of folk intuitions to the “hard problem” of consciousness
An Approach to Integrating Environmental Considerations Within Managerial Decision‐Making
Recent environmental trends, including (1) an expansion of existing command and control directives, (2) the introduction of market‐based policy instruments, and (3) the adoption of extended producer responsibility, have created a need for new tools to help managerial decision‐making. To address this need, we develop a nonlinear mathematical programming model from a profit‐maximizing firm's perspective, which can be tailored as a decision‐support …
Is the link between nutrients and foods understood? The case of fibre and folate
Objectives: To assess and contrast awareness of the link between dietary fibre and folate and their major food sources (fruit, vegetables, bread and cereals). Design and setting: Mailed questionnaire investigating changes made to dietary intake of fibre, folate, fruit, vegetables, bread and cereals in the previous six months. Setting: The survey was conducted between June and November 1998 in the Australian Capital Territory. Subjects: One thousa…
Effects of Enforcement of Youth Access Laws on Smoking Prevalence
Smoking is the primary preventable cause of death, and yet 3,000 adolescents become smokers each day. Most adult smokers begin this deadly habit when they are under the age of 18, which is the minimum legal age for the purchase of cigarettes. The majority of adolescent smokers are able to purchase cigarettes even though laws prohibit the sale of cigarettes to minors. In the late 1980s, Woodridge, IL, became one of the first towns in the nation to…
Long-Term Follow-Up of Youth Access to Tobacco Laws' Impact on Smoking Prevalence
The majority of adolescent smokers are able to purchase cigarettes even though laws prohibit the sale of cigarettes to minors. In the late 1980s, Woodridge, Illinois, became one of the first towns in the nation to demonstrate a sustained reduction in the ability of youth to purchase cigarettes. Almost 2 years after passage of this legislation, the percentage of regular smokers among seventh and eighth grade students had been reduced from 16% to 5…
