Bridging (over)tourism geographies
This paper utilises bibliometric data on peer-reviewed publications to examine the characteristics and dominant narratives in overtourism research to date. Departing from earlier state-of-the-art reviews, it introduces a spatial perspective with a distinct focus on spatial processes and geographical scales. The analysis identifies six overarching themes in the literature, which predominantly centre on metropolitan contexts and are characterised b…
The invisible hand of an invisible population
The effects of second‐home tourism on property markets has been one of the key debates in second‐home research. This has been discussed in association with property speculation, financial vulnerability, gentrification, displacement, and rural development. This paper studies the market prices for all detached homes traded on the open market in Sweden during 1999–2017. It investigates how the market values of second homes have developed over time a…
Endemic and Diverse
Second-home tourism’s transformative power on local communities is widely recognized through numerous studies on its social, environmental and economic effects in many parts of the world. A significant share of this literature examines how second-home tourism impacts local housing markets and access to housing. However, few studies have looked into how planning authorities navigate these impacts of second-home tourism and how they differ spatiall…
Mapping an invisible population
Second-home tourism is a very popular form of tourism in many countries, particularly in the Nordic countries. More than half of the Swedish population have access to second homes. Previous studies have revealed that there is great variation between different second homes. Examples range from rustic Australian shacks, lonely cabins in the Norwegian mountains, spacious Swedish archipelago villas and palatial Russian dachas. Still, second homes are…
How the Fallacy of Accident Got Its Name (and Lost It)
I offer an explanation of why the fallacy of “accident” is so called. By ‘accident’ here, Aristotle does not mean accidental predication but being per accidens . Understood in this way, the fallacy of accident can be analyzed in terms of the rules that Aristotle gives for being per accidens . The fallacy of accident lost the original justification for its name in the late Greek period. It became associated with accidental predication and not with…
Aristotle's Theory of Abstraction
Mistakes of Reason
For Aristotle the fallacy of accident arises from mistakes about being per accidens and not from accidental predication. Mistakes in perceiving per accidens come from our judgements about being per accidens and so commit that fallacy. Practical syllogisms have the same formal structure as being and perceiving per accidens. Moreover perceiving per accidens typically provides the minor premise for the practical syllogism as it makes it possible for…

Aristotle's Theory of Predication
This book claims that Aristotle followed an aspect theory of predication. On it statements make a basic assertion of existence that can be more or less qualified. It is claimed that the aspect theory solves many puzzles about Aristotle's philosophy and gives a new unity to his logic and metaphysics. The book considers Aristotle's views on predication relative to Greek philology, Aristotle's philosophical milieu, and the history and philosophy of …
Scotus on the Consistency of the Incarnation and the Trinity
Etude de l'effort de demonstration de la consistance des doctrines theologiques de l'Incarnation et de la Trinite entrepris par Duns Scot a partir de la logique des propositions redoublantes ou qua introduites par la formule dans la mesure ou. Soulevant le paradoxe de l'unite et de la trinite de Dieu, de la creation et de la non creation de Jesus-Christ, de la separation du Pere et du Fils, l'A. montre que l'analyse specificative et abstractive d…
On Reduplication
On Reduplication is a study of the logical properties of reduplicative propositions, that is, of propositions having qualifications, like 'Christ qua God is a creature' and 'being qua being is the subject of metaphysics'. The focus is on what ways qualifications change the truth value and the inference patterns of simple, categorical propositions. The central class of reduplications is that in which the qualifications are introduced by a qua conn…
