Earlier crop flowering caused by global warming alleviated by irrigation
Enabling crop flowering within an optimal calendar window minimises long-term risk of abiotic stress exposure, improving prospects for attaining potential yield. Here, we define the optimal flowering period (OFP) as the calendar time in which long-term risk of frost, water and heat stress are collectively minimised. Using the internationally-renowned farming systems model Agricultural Systems Production Systems sIMulator, we characterised combine…
Probability reasoning in judicial fact-finding
We argue that the laws of probability promote coherent fact-finding and avoid potentially unjust logical contradictions. But we do not argue that a probabilistic Bayesian approach is sufficient or even necessary for good fact-finding. First, we explain the use of probability reasoning in Re D (A Child) [2014] EWHC 121 (Fam) and Re L (A Child) [2017] EWHC 3707 (Fam). Then we criticise the attack on this probabilistic reasoning found in Re A (Child…
Liberal Socialism
Should we be looking for alternatives to the western worlds status quo of neo-liberal capitalism? Should we be seeking a new form of freedom for a more just and better social world? Drawing on Rawlss theory of justice and Marxs critique of capitalism, this book answers those questions in a resounding affirmative. Some think that a just society for Rawls cannot promote a better social world unless it is acceptable to all but, this wrongly treats R…

Aid
Singer argues for aid to strangers on the ground that it is morally required from a non-discriminatory consequentialist perspective, while Unger argues that if we have intuitive moral obligations to aid those near to us then we have as strong an obligation to aid strangers. I shall argue that aid to strangers in a well ordered world would be a collective responsibility in which all nations and individuals would play a part according to their capa…
Encounters
The photographs by the British artist Roger Palmer, illustrated in this issue, take us to places such as South Africa, Canada, Scotland and Ireland, but in ways quite distinct from photojournalism. Palmer uses shallow spatial arrangements and a dialogue with many forms of art -- his own wall drawings, vernacular art, abstract art and also western European painting --to make unpeopled images that imply some of the difficulties of cultural negotiat…
Debate a Modest Proposal for the New Millennium
The publication of Jonathan Swift's original Modest Proposal in 1729 caused outrage. His suggestion that, to survive, the Irish poor should make food of their own children (whether ‘stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled... in a fricassee or a ragout’) carried the logic of the government of his day to its brutal extreme. Polite society was not amused. But as the critic David Ward has noted: ‘Swift employs pessimism as a weapon to scourge away the smug…
The West Review
As a conservative John Gray deplores the impact of the New Right ideology adopted by the British Conservative Party on the ongoing culture of British society. While not sharing his belief that political action can only aspire to warding off evils, this paper explores the corrosive impact of New Right ideology on the ethos of the university sector in Australia. In essence, New Right ideology would have universities ape business manners, charging c…

A Critique of Roemer, Hodgson and Cohen on Marxian Exploitation
The Dynamics of Class and the “New Middle Class”
Force and “Natural Motion”
Brian Ellis has argued that the assigning of forces is, in the final analysis, a matter of convention. This conclusion is backed by the premises (1) that forces and force-effects are necessary and sufficient for each other, and (2) that the classification of some state of affairs as a force-effect is at least partly conventional. We argue that the first premise is false, that the second premise is ambiguous as between several senses of “conventio…
