Summary: The paper introduces a new approach to intuitionistic formalization of reasoning about probability, utilizing Kripke models and a measure function satisfying specific conditions. In order to achieve strong completeness, an infinitary inference rule with a countable set of premises is introduced. The main technical results are proofs of strong completeness and decidability.

Summary: Research universities have anarchic organizational features that reflect their special standing among knowledge institutions. This distributed, self-organizing mode of knowledge production is necessary for generating relevant knowledge under uncertainty in frontier research. The diversity of epistemic contributions is maintained by the order imposed by the internal logic of science as a social practice.

Summary: This paper presents a historical account of the emergence of discourses around 'the market' and argues that the crises of the present have their roots in the economic and political chaos of the early 1600s. By employing critical discourse analysis, the author shows that the meaning of the word 'market' expanded from a physical space for bartering and selling goods to an abstract space encompassing all capitalist economic exchanges, including those impacting the natural world.

Summary: The goal of inquiry is to find answers to questions, but it does not require absolute certainty. An alternative view suggests that the aim of inquiry is to maximize the epistemic value of our beliefs, which aligns with epistemic decision theory. This alternative view has significant implications for important topics in epistemology.

It presents the notion of musical expressiveness and explores the link between timbre and atmosphere. The findings suggest that both musical emotions and atmospheres are affectively charged externalities that are apprehended by the subject without cognitive mediation.

Summary: This article presents a new approach to solving coincidence puzzles. The approach allows different types of puzzles to be solved in different ways, based on specific constraints inspired by the phasalist solution. The author applies this approach to four different types of puzzles and argues that it is just as plausible as other existing approaches in the literature.

Summary: This article examines the concept of granting for the sake of the argument in explanatory reasoning and argues that it is usually not a good idea to grant an explanation that competes for force in order to retain probability. It also discusses the move made by philosophers of religion to grant scientific successes while maintaining the probability of theism, questioning whether this move is a clear success.

Summary: The notion that metaphorical statements are strictly false suggests that all statements, even those that seemed 'literal', are false, as none can 'literally' reflect reality. The discussion revolves around the limitations of language and perception in representing the true nature of reality, and whether metaphorical imagination can go beyond the confines of experience.

Summary: This article aims to conceptualize and evaluate the transhumanist movement by applying Nietzschean critique. The investigation is divided into three steps: discussing the similarities and differences between transhumanism and Nietzsche's concept of education, considering the challenges of conceptualizing a "Nietzschean transhumanism," and evaluating the cultural implications of transhumanism using Nietzsche's treatment of nihilism.
