Probabilistic Logic Programming by Lukasiewicz, T

“…<p>We present a new approach to probabilistic logic programs with a possible worlds semantics. Classical program clauses are extended by a subinterval of [0,1] that describes the range for the conditional probability of the head of a clause given its body. …”

Hesitating between Threads and Needles: An Inquiry into the Dimension of Touch in Design Experimentation by Ana Maria Copetti Maccagnan, Guilherme Englert Corrêa Meyer

“…Considering the uncertain and critical times in which we perceive ourselves as a society, we need practices different from those prevalent in interaction design fields, yet capable of touching other possible worlds. We trust that the act of slowing down enables us to cultivate a distinct sensitivity, hesitating in the construction of a ‘good common world’. …”

Del mundo a los mundos: repensar la globalizacion desde la literatura mexicana by Vittoria Borsò

“…The singular, the fragment, the body, the voice, the affections are the starting point of a situated epistemology, critical of the global, and at the same time capable of relating to the plurality of worlds in order to think possible worlds as an ontological modality of a common world.…”

The Conditional Sink: Counterfactual Display in the Valuation of a Carbon Offsetting Reforestation Project by Véra Ehrenstein, Fabian Muniesa

“…This requires imagining possible worlds and assessing their plausibility. The world inhabited by the project is articulated through conditional formulation and subjected to what we call “counterfactual display”: the production and circulation of documents that demonstrate and con!…”

Dreams, temporalities and university: experiences for the future by Thamara de Oliveira Rodrigues

“…We also argue, based on the reported experience, that the exercise of recording, theoretical approach and sharing of dreams in community allows a broader perception of the challenges of contemporary temporality, as well as the construction of other possible worlds.…”

A European View on Ruins in Naples and Messina during the 17th and 18th Centuries by Massimo Visone

“…The philosophy of catastrophe puts the then prevailing optimism of reason into crisis and destroys the conviction that the present may be the best of all possible worlds. The Kingdom of Naples was one of the protagonists of that dynamism that pushed men to explore unusual territories along the Grand Tour route with the intent of acquiring new scientific tools of analysis. …”

The Dark Side of the Public Opinion: Avisos, Pasquines and Intercepted Letters in the Spanish Court in XVIIth Century by Wolfram Aichinger

“…Finally, the study will relate changes in the distribution of news to a new perception of the present and its reflec-tions in the imagined, secret or possible worlds acted out in theatre.…”

A Note on the Complexity of the Satisfiability Problem for Graded Modal Logics by Kazakov, Y, Pratt−Hartmann, I

“…Under the familiar possible-worlds semantics, these augmented modal operators receive interpretations such as \"It is true at no fewer than 15 accessible worlds that...\", or \"It is true at no more than 2 accessible worlds that...\". …”

World-set decompositions: expressiveness and efficient algorithms by Olteanu, D, Koch, C, Antova, L

“…WSDs are <em>complete</em> for finite world-sets in that they can represent any finite set of possible worlds. For possibly infinite world-sets, we show that a natural generalization of WSDs precisely captures the expressive power of c-tables. …”

Two notions of rigidity by Rumfitt, I

“…In explaining the notion of rigidity, we should not follow Saul Kripke and invoke possible worlds. Rather, we should follow Richard Cartwright and say that the designator ‘a’ is rigid if and only if neither the sentence ‘a might have existed and not have been identical with a’ nor the sentence ‘Something other than a might have been identical with a’ has an interpretation on which it is true. …”

Réflexions sur la tolérance et l’intolérance épistémico-ontologiques by Obrillant Damus

“…Respect for the standards of existence and coexistence of the actors of the Global South and of the Global North, and the freedom of the latters to imagine possible worlds (freedom of worldification; multi-world logic) to contain the unimondist ontology imposed by the West or to resist against ‘’the mono-ontological occupation of the planet“ are also part of this form of tolerance. …”

Realism and Instrumentalism in Philosophical Explanation by Ori Simchen

“…Other theoretical representations are regarded as serving other explanatory aims without being taken individually to reveal the nature of what they represent, as in the representation of gold as a standard for pre-20th century monetary systems in economics or the representation of the meaning of an English sentence as a function from possible worlds to truth values in truth-conditional semantics. …”

Non-Descriptivism About Modality. A Brief History And Revival by Amie Thomasson

“…Despite the otherwise-dominant trends towards physicalism and naturalism in philosophy, it has become increasingly common for metaphysicians to accept the existence either of modal facts and properties, or of Lewisian possible worlds. This paper raises the historical question: why did these heavyweight realist views come into prominence? …”

Paul Ricœur’s hermeneutics as a bridge between aesthetics and ontology by Sanja Ivic

Conventions and Constitutive Norms by Manuel García-Carpintero

“…The paper argues that this line of reasoning fails to establish any modal asymmetry, by invoking the distinction between the non-discriminating existence across possible worlds of types (“blueprints”, as Rawls called them) of practices and institutions defined by constitutive rules, and the discriminating existence of those among them that are actually in force, and hence truly normative. …”

Alina, Es La Reina Y..., Cinco Palabras Par Inventar Un Mundo by Alexandra Merlo

“…Even though, these realities do not constitute an infinite and parallel series of possible worlds, letting fantasy flow side by side with reality, it demostrates that between this world and that one, between what is real and what is written, between here and there, a constant, continuous and reciprocal communication is established. …”

Probabilistic and Truth−Functional Many−Valued Logic Programming by Lukasiewicz, T
