Implicit Commitments, Epistemic Stability, and the Acceptability of Consistency
The Implicit Commitments Thesis (ICT) states that in accepting a formal theory $$\textrm{S}$$ S , one is implicitly committed to additional statements, such as $$\textrm{S}$$ S ’s consistency. ICT aligns with the intuition that accepting $$\textrm{S}$$ S without acknowledging its consistency is epistemically problematic. However, there is ongoing debate over ICT’s validity in all cases. Dean (2015) argued that ICT should be rejected because it cl…
Reflecting on believability
By definition, the implicit commitment of a formal theory $$\textrm{Th}$$ Th consists of sentences that are independent of the axioms of $$\textrm{Th}$$ Th , but their acceptance is implicit in the acceptance of $$\textrm{Th}$$ Th . In Cieśliński (2017, 2018), the phenomenon of implicit commitments was studied from the epistemological perspective through the lenses of the formal theory of believability. The current paper provides a comprehensive …
Implicit commitments of instrumental acceptance
When accepting an axiomatic theory S, we are implicitly committed to various statements that are independent of its axioms. Examples of such implicit commitments include consistency statements and reflection principles for S. While foundational acceptance has received considerable attention in this context, the study of implicit commitments triggered by weaker notions remains underdeveloped. This article extends the analysis investigating implici…

The Wari Civilization and Their Descendants
Drawing on research conducted in Cuzco, Peru,The Wari Civilization and Their Descendants: Imperial Transformation in Pre-Inca Cuzco, Peru analyzes the political and social transformations that led to the downfall of the Wari civilization in the Andean Middle Horizon period (AD 500–1000) and resulted in the rise of the Inca state. The contributors to this collection present evidence of the Wari civilization’s robust, imperialistic occupation of Cu…
Imperialismo en el horizonte medio
Por todo el antiguo Perú, el Horizonte Medio tradicionalmente ha sido caracterizado por la presencia o influencia del Imperio wari. Con la exploración reciente de áreas hasta hace poco desconocidas, esta perspectiva está considerada anticuada y sin valor. Aunque mucha gente del Horizonte Medio pudo no haber estado bajo el control administrativo de los wari, otra gente si lo estaba y esta diferencia, la cual existía por todas las regiones, represe…

Food of the Gods or mere mortals? HallucinogenicSpondylusand its interpretive implications for early Andean society
Eating shellfish in the wrong season makes you ill. But early people of the Andes seem to have courted these effects to gain out-of-body experiences. It may have been these effects, as well as its distinctive colouring and appearance, that madeSpondylussuch a very special commodity
Water,Huacas, and Ancestor Worship
During the Middle Horizon (A.D. 540-900) the Wari of the central highlands Ayacucho region expanded their control into many parts of the Andes. While different motives have been cited for Wari state expansion, we suggest that a severe and prolonged drought during the sixth century may have played a significant role. We posit that the Wari responded to this environmental crisis not only by seeking practical solutions, such as securing productive l…
The Huaro Archaeological Site Complex
Pikillacta, Huaro y la gran región del Cuzco
Durante las últimas dos décadas han habido avances significativos en los estudios wari, como resultado de las investigaciones conducidas en las regiones provinciales. De esos estudios se han elucidado nuevas perspectivas sobre la expansión imperial de los wari, dándosele mayor énfasis a las investigaciones realizadas en los sitios monumentales de Pikillacta y Huaro. Basados en sus investigaciones, los autores han concluido que la ocupación wari f…
