For this reason, democratic law is morally imperative and morally inspirational.

Some combinations of attitudes-beliefs, credences, intentions, preferences, hopes, fears, and so on-do not fit together right: they are incoherent. A natural idea is that there are requirements of "structural rationality" that forbid us from being in these incoherent states. Yet many philosophers have recently attempted to minimize or eliminate structural rationality, arguing that it is just a "shadow" of "substantive rationality"-that is, correctly responding toone's reasons. In Fitting Things Together, Alex Worsnip pushes back against this trend, providing the first sustained defense of the view that structural rationality is a genuine, autonomous, unified, and normatively significant phenomenon.

In Drifting Through Samsara, Masoumeh Rahmani provides a fieldwork-based study of Goenka's Vipassana meditation movement in New Zealand.

Drawing from qualitative research, the book examines the way the movement's discourse shapes unique processes and narratives ofconversion and disengagement.

This monograph presents the first detailed exposition of the formal theory of Branching Space-Times (BST). The theory presented here by Nuel Belnap, Thomas Muller, and Tomasz Placek describes how real possibilities can be anchored in a spatio-temporal world that is rudimentarily relativistic. Things that are possible in Cleveland are not possible in San Francisco; other things were possible in 1988 but are not possible in 2021. BST represents such possibilities usinga mathematically rigorous framework that combines modality and rudimentary relativistic space-times. The book is divided into two parts: the first contains the exposition of the theory, including detailed proofs; the second contains three applications of BST in metaphysics and philosophy of science,focusing on the use of BST to represent pertinent forms of indeterminism in each area.This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International license.
