  • Against Purity

    Open AccessJonathan BarkerARTICLEErgo an Open Access Journal of…2023

    A fundamental fact is “pure” just in case it has no grounded entities—ex. Tokyo, President Biden, the River Nile, {Socrates}, etc.—among its constituents. Purity is the thesis that every fundamental fact is pure. I argue that Purity is false. My argument begins with a familiar conditional: if Purity is true, then there are no fundamental “grounding facts” or facts about what grounds what. This conditional is accepted by virtually all of Purity’s …

  • Genealogical Defeat and Ontological Sparsity

    Jonathan Barker, Philosophy Documentation CenterARTICLEMidwest Studies in Philosophy2023

    When and why does awareness of a belief's genealogy make it irrational to hold that belief? According to explanationism, a belief’s genealogy undermines its rational status by revealing the lack of an explanatorily connected between that belief and the relevant worldly facts. I argue that an influential recent version of explanationism, due to Korman and Locke, incorrectly implies that it is not rationally permissible to adopt a sparse ontology o…

  • Grounding and the Myth of Ontological Innocence

    Jonathan BarkerARTICLEAustralasian Journal of Philosophy2021

    According to the Ontological Innocence Thesis (OIT), grounded entities are ontologically innocent relative to their full grounds. I argue that OIT entails a contradiction, and therefore must be discarded. My argument turns on the notion of ‘groundmates’, two or more numerically distinct entities that share at least one of their full grounds. I argue that, if OIT is true, then it is both the case that there are groundmates and that there are no gr…

  • Why 25 Years? Notes on the Long Trajectory of Roger Barker's Research in Oskaloosa

    Jonathan Barker, Jonathan Shedd BarkerARTICLEEcological Psychology2016

    Roger Barker pursued a research project on the behavior of people for 25 years. As Roger's son I observed it through several phases from child-under-study to academic researcher. The research was driven by a changing set of intellectual objectives. The first was to fill a gap in psychological research: to gather naturalistic descriptions of the behavior of children. When the research revealed that behavior settings were much more powerful predict…

  • A global reference for human genetic variation

    Open AccessCorresponding authors, Adam Auton et al.ARTICLENature2015

    The 1000 Genomes Project set out to provide a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations. Here we report completion of the project, having reconstructed the genomes of 2,504 individuals from 26 populations using a combination of low-coverage whole-genome sequencing, deep exome sequencing, and dense microarray genotyping. We characterized…

  • The No-Nonsense Guide to Terrorism

    Lee-Anne Broadhead, Jonathan BarkerARTICLEInternational Journal Canada s…2003Cited by: 4

    Since the events of September 11 2001, the uses of the word terrorism seem to have multiplied, and it has never been clearer that one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. This No-Nonsense Guide to Terrorism looks at debates about September 11 and the responses to it, but also analyses the causes and contexts of terrorism the world over. Jonathan Barker provides a highly accessible historical sketch of terrorism, looking at core exampl…

  • Marketing, Politics and Agrarian Crisis in Sudan

    Open AccessAbdelgalil Elmekki, Jonathan BarkerARTICLEIDS Bulletin1993

    In the case of Sudan, the politics of agrarian crisis grew out of, but differs from, the normal politics of agricultural marketing. From the imposition of colonial rule crop marketing structures have transformed peasant farming and subjected it to control by the state and by merchants. Market relations have also generated structural pressures on peasant farming and social conflicts in peasant communities. In response to the pressures, peasant far…

  • Political Space and the Quality of Participation in Rural Africa: A Case From Senegal

    Jonathan Barker, Jonathan S BarkerARTICLECanadian Journal of African…1987

    Une enquête s'étalant sur une longue période de temps qui se concentre sur les contextes des activités politiques dans un petit centre administratif de la région des arachides au Sénégal révèle des interprétations contradictoires de l'échec de la politique gouvernementale dans le domaine de l'augmentation de la production agricole. L'analyse des établissements de comportements montre que les genres de participation politique couvrant la période e…

    Jonathan BarkerARTICLECanadian Journal of African…1977

    Comment le système politique sénégalais pouvait-il demeurer relativement stable alors que son économie nationale était dans un état de stagnation? Une partie de la réponse peut être fournie par le rôle de l'État. Ce dernier a perpétué le modèle colonial de l'accumulation économique tout comme il a contribué à la formation et à la consolidation d'une nouvelle classe bureaucratique.Cet article analyse la voie par laquelle les tensions politiques so…
