Traditionally, many arguments for realism about properties (universals or tropes) rely on a priori claims. The author argues that if we make use of an abductive principle that is commonly employed by scientific realists, a new argument for property r...

Against the Theistic Multiverse (2020)
Journal Article
Uckelman, S. L. (2020). Against the Theistic Multiverse. Kriterion (Salzburg), 34(4), 1-14

We argue that Kraay’s “theistic multiverse” response to the objections to theism [11] is unsuccessful as it simply shifts the problems leveled against theism from the level of possible worlds to the level of possible universes. Furthermore, when we r... Read More about Against the Theistic Multiverse.

Epistemic injustice has rapidly become a powerful tool for analysis of otherwise hidden social harms. Yet empirical research into how resistance to knowing and understanding can be generated and replicated in social programmes is limited. We have ide...
