In the Hintikkan tradition, attitude verbs are treated uniformly as universal quantifiers over possible worlds, where the sole difference between various attitudes is in the accessibility relation that determines the set of worlds they quantify over. Believe, want and say quantify respectively over worlds compatible with the beliefs, desires, claims of the attitude holder. In this paper, we dis...

A retrospective study was conducted comparing the grade point averages (GPA' s) of 25 subjects who had begun the practice of the Transcendental Meditation (TM) technique during their undergraduate studies to the GPA's of25 subjects who had received their undergraduate degrees before learning TM. The mean GPAfor the TM group rose from 2.52 for the three terms immediately before learning TM to 3....

Two studies investigated frontal alpha lateral asymmetry and frontal interhemispheric coherence during eyes-closed rest, Transcendental Meditation (TM) practice, and computerized reaction-time tasks. In the first study, frontal coherence and lateralized asymmetry were higher in 13 TM subjects than in 12 controls. In the second study (N = 14), a one-year longitudinal study, lateral asymmetry did...

The paper deals with an attempt to present an “abductive-transcendental” argument in favour of a particular version of structural realism (SR), dubbed Intermediate SR. In the first part of the paper the general structure of transcendental arguments is scrutinized with a close view on Kant’s original version and the prospect of their abductive variation. Then the role of symmetries in modern phy...

In this paper I will give a modal two-dimensional analysis of presupposition and modal subordination. I will think of presupposition as a non-veridical propositional attitude. This allows me to evaluate what is presupposed and what is asserted at different dimensions without getting into the binding problem. What is presupposed will be represented by an accessibility relation between possible w...

The topic of this paper is an investigation into how architecture may hold the capacity to recognize the reconciliation of man and his world; working from the premise that this is possible within a world view devoid of a transcendental mythos, and lacking a theological or cosmological apriori. Within this ‘mythless present’, we are faced with the paradox of modernism: man’s infinite ability for...

This paper attempts to marshall some of the evidence of the transcendental character of Heidegger’s later thinking, despite his repudiation of any form of transcendental thinking, including that of his own earlier project of fundamental ontology. The transcendental significance of that early project is first outlined through comparison and contrast with the diverse transcendental turns in the p...
