This article attempts to answer why some countries experience the recurrence of civil war and others do not. One of the most significant differences between civil war onset and its recurrence is that the latter has once experienced termination of civil war, while the former has not. To find the cause of recurrence, this article examines how different war termination types influence the duration of post-civil war peace. Duration analysis of the civil wars between 1944 and 1999 shows that military (...) victory, supported by peacekeeping operations or power-sharing arrangements, leads to the most durable peace in a post-civil war country. Contrary to the accepted wisdom, negotiated peace settlement, even when supported by peacekeeping operations or power-sharing arrangements, is not positively related to post-conflict peace. (shrink)

尊皇の哲学者は、なぜ昭和天皇に敗戦を見据えた御進講を行ったのか? 新発見史料を基に、講義の内容と終戦の決断への影響を解明。.

For a theory T in L, T σ is the theory of the models of T with an automorphism σ. If T is an unstable model complete theory without the independence property, then T σ has no model companion. If T is an unstable model complete theory and T σ has the amalgamation property, then T σ has no model companion. If T is model complete and has the fcp, then T σ has no model completion.

Let T be a strongly minimal theory with quantifier elimination. We show that the class of existentially closed models of T{“σ is an automorphism”} is an elementary class if and only if T has the definable multiplicity property, as long as T is a finite cover of a strongly minimal theory which does have the definable multiplicity property. We obtain cleaner results working with several automorphisms, and prove: the class of existentially closed models of T{“σi is an automorphism”: i=1,2} is (...) an elementary class if and only if T has the definable multiplicity property.

If T is a model complete theory with the strict order property, then the theory of the models of T with an automorphism has no model companion.

日本の戦後思想の核心とは、圧倒的な外来思想への、自己の戦争体験と近代日本の露わになった後進性を手がかりにした、ポストコロニアルな抵抗にある。非西洋世界が近代化にむけた苦闘にあるこのとき、日本の戦後思想 は、どのような可能性をもつのか。「リスク近代」の果てにせり上がってきた、世界が抱え込む「有限性」という概念を手がかりに、21世紀世界の思想的課題と、未来構想の可能性を問う。.

The aim of this article is to examine the theory of “self-affection” in the Transcendental Deduction of the Categories in the second edition of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason. I propose that the self-affection, identified with transcendental synthesis of imagination, should be considered as a condition of all reception of the manifold of intuition in the spatio-temporal order. In other words, spontaneity of the subject is required for the reception of materials for cognition. Analyzing some interpretations on Kant's notions such (...) as temporality, inner sense and synthesis, I try to show the necessity to avoid supposing materials that would be given independently of spontaneity and regarded as antecedent conditions of self-affection.

This paper re-envisions the personhood of severely disabled children, who are often excluded from the category of human beings in the academic literature due to their perceived lack of mental faculties, based on Japanese philosopher Watsuji Tetsuro’s concept of human beings. It begins with Carl Elliott’s claim that personhood should be used as a thick ethical concept. This concept has two features. First, it represents a fusion of fact and value. Second, it is embedded in our rich and culturally specific (...) forms of life. This paper suggests that Watsuji’s concept of ningen also has these features. Watsuji criticizes how Western ethicists take individual consciousness or will as their starting point for determining personhood. Instead, he argues that neither a subject nor a community exists as an entity in itself, but that the relationality between them is essential to their identity and that our communication is embedded within rich and social contexts. Through his etymological study of Japanese word ari, Watsuji points out that in making statements, one both discloses the world and becomes aware of the attitude one should take toward other beings. Some commentators, such as Sakabe Megumi, have suggested that such self-awareness entails the transformation of our sense of relationality. This paper leverages Watsuji’s concept of ningen to re-envision the relationship between caregivers and severely disabled children as relationality-based and therefore open to complex and rich communication.

The target article offers a game-theoretical analysis of primitive intergroup aggression (i.e., raiding) and discusses difficulties in achieving peace. We argue the analysis does not capture the actual strategy space, missing out “do-nothing.” Experimental evidence robustly shows people prefer doing nothing against out-group members over cooperating with/attacking them. Thus, the target article overestimates the likelihood of intergroup aggression.

トリアージ、ワクチンの分配、ゲノム編集、さらに倫理、思想、文学、政治社会まで、様々な領域の喫緊の問題として「尊厳」を論じる。.

Let \ be an ab initio amalgamation class with an unbounded increasing concave function f. We show that if the predimension function has a rational coefficient and f satisfies a certain assumption then the generic structure of \ has a model complete theory.

Desde "Los límites del sentido" de Strawson, la Deducción trascendental, en la Crítica de la razón pura de Kant, se considera generalmente como demostración de la objetividad del conocimiento como una condición de la unidad de la autoconciencia. Sin embargo, también se reconoce que se encuentran pas..

En este artículo, analizo las nociones de forma de la intuición e intuición formal en el § 26 de la Crítica de la razón pura. Según Kant, la intuición formal contiene unidad de diversas representaciones, la cual no implica la forma de la intuición. Aclararé que la intuición formal es un híbrido de l..

La Deducción trascendental de las categorías en la segunda edición de la Crítica de la razón pura de Kant se divide en dos partes. Sin embargo, el papel de la segunda mitad no está inmediatamente claro. En este artículo examinaré su argumento después de aclarar su objetivo. Con base en mi análisis d..

After the publication of Strawson’s “The Bounds of Sense”, the Transcendental Deduction in Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason has been widely regarded as a proof of the objectivity of knowledge as a condition of unity of self-consciousness. Nevertheless, many interpreters accept that there are passages which cannot be easily integrated into such a strategy. In this article, through an analysis of the first half of the Transcendental Deduction (B), I try to point out the need to adopt a different interpretation (...) according to which Kant does not consider objectivity as a condition of self-consciousness, but rather self-consciousness as a necessary condition of objectivity.
