Behavioural Science Interventions in Development and Environmental Fields in Developing Countries
Human behaviour is a key driver of climate change yet rigorous empirical guidance is lacking in terms of how behavioural science can effectively support adaptation and emissions reductions in developing countries. This article presents an evidence gap map and the approach for a systematic review on the effectiveness of behavioural science interventions on environmental and development outcomes. The article consists of two parts. First, the articl…

The Repeatability Argument Poses No New Threat for Bundle Theorists
Matteo Benocci [AJP, 2018] has presented a new argument, the Repeatability Argument, against any version of the Bundle Theory that includes a commitment to the principle that concrete particulars constituted by exactly the same universals are identical. In this discussion note, I argue that the Repeatability Argument fails because defenders of the Bundle Theory can reject one of its key steps on principled grounds. I thus conclude that Benocci pr…

To be fair
In this paper I present a theory of what it is to be fair. I take my cue from Broome's well known 1990 account of fairness. Broome's basic thesis is that fairness is the proportional satisfaction of claims, and with this I am in at least partial agreement. But neither Broome nor anyone else (so far as I know) has laid down a theory of precisely what one must do in order to be fair. The theory offered here does just this.
Trendsetters, Trend Followers, and Individual Players
This article seeks to conceptualize global counterterror actor types by examining the designated terrorist organizations lists of six countries; the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, Russia, and China. It is argued that these countries should be placed into one of three distinct categories: Trendsetters, Trend Followers, and Individual Players. Being able to classify countries according to these categories is important for glo…
Relativism and the Foundations of Philosophy - Stephen Hales
In this rich and well written book, divided into four large chapters, Stephen Hales defends the coherence of a distinctive form of relativism according to which truth is indexed to epistemic perspectives, and he contends that we have to accept that the truth of philosophical propositions varies between different epistemic perspectives. He reaches this conclusion by arguing that it is the only tenable solution to a problem for philosophical knowle…
