Absolute Relativism; or, the absolute in relation
Comment Share
McTaggart, William Bell

First published in 1902, this philosophical treatise explores the nature of absolute and relative truth. William Bell McTaggart argues that, far from being mutually exclusive, absolute and relative truths are inextricably linked, and that understanding their relationship is key to understanding the nature of reality. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the philosophy of language a…

Relativism and the foundations of philosophy
Comment Share
HALES, Steven D.

"A Bradford book."A defense of the view that philosophical propositions are true in some perspectives and false in others, arguing that the rationalist, intuition-driven method of acquiring basic beliefs favored by analytic philosophy is not epistemically superior to such alternate belief-acquiring methods as religious revelation and the ritual use of hallucinogens. The grand and sweeping claim…

Theoretical and Observational Consistency of Massive Gravity
Comment Share
HEISENBERG, Lavinia

This work is a detailed study of both the theoretical and phenomenological consequences of a massive graviton, within the ghost-free theory of massive gravity, the de Rham-Gabadadze-Tolley (dRGT) theory. Its aim is to test the physical viability of the theory. It begins by putting constraints on the parameters of the theory in the decoupling limit based on purely theoretical grounds, like class…

The Tidal Disruption of Stars by Supermassive Black Holes An Analytic Approach
Comment Share
STONE, Nicholas Chamberlain

This book provides a general introduction to the rapidly developing astrophysical frontier of stellar tidal disruption, but also details original thesis research on the subject. This work has shown that recoiling black holes can disrupt stars far outside a galactic nucleus, errors in the traditional literature have strongly overestimated the maximum luminosity of “deeply plunging” tidal di…
