Stadt, Land, Grüne: Die Mitgliederentwicklung von Bündnis 90/Die Grünen als geografisches Phänomen
No full textBündnis 90/Die Grünen verzeichnen seit 2018 zweistellige jährliche Wachstumsraten hinsichtlich ihrer Mitgliedszahlen. Der vorliegende Beitrag analysiert die geografische Verteilung dieses Mitgliederwachstums auf der Ebene der Landkreise beziehungsweise der kreisfreien Städte. Dabei wird zwischen Veränderungen in der Parteimitgliederdichte und absolutem und relativem Wachstum unterschieden.Im Anschluss an einen deskriptiven Überblick über die geografische Verteilung, werden mögliche Einflussfaktoren auf die Ausprägung des regionalen Mitgliederwachstums getestet. Unsere Daten zeigen, dass die Grünen in allen Regionen Deutschlands wachsen. Das Ausmaß des Wachstums der regionalen Parteigliederung wird dabei mit Ausnahme des relativen Wachstums durch einen zunehmenden Grad der Ländlichkeit negativ beeinflusst. Gleichzeitig wachsen grüne Kreisverbände auch in ländlichen Gebieten deutlich, wenn deren sozio-ökonomische Lage überdurchschnittlich gut ist
O caráter definicional sui generis dos predicados tarskianos de verdade
No full textThe denitional feature of Tarski\u27s theory of truth will be the subject of this paper. In fact, addition, multiplication and divisibility were well-known mathematical concepts before the accurate Peano (Dedekind) formalization. Analogously, the Tarski\u27s metatheory could be an accurate formalization of ‘x is a formula’, ‘x is the reference/sense of y’ and ‘x is a true sentence’, all them introduced by definition. However, ‘x is a true sentence’, because of the paradoxes, cannot be an accurate formalization of truth predicate of ordinary language. The question is: which concept of truth does the tarskian ‘x is a true sentence’ formalize? The answer is simple and not new, but its meanders are informative and enlightening
Does same-level causation entail downward causation?
No full textI argue that Jaegwon Kim’s supervenience argument does not generalize to all special science properties by undermining his central intuition, employed in stage 1 of the argument, that there is a tension between horizontal causation and vertical determination. First, I challenge Kim’s treatment of the examples he employs to support this intuition, then I appeal to Kim’s own work on the metaphysics of explanation in order to dissipate the alleged tension
‘Social identity’ and ‘shared worldview’: free riders in explanations of collective action
No full textThe notions \u27worldview\u27 and \u27social identity\u27 are examined to consider whether they contribute substantively to causal sequences or networks or thought clusters that result in group acts executed intentionally. ... Three proposed explanaitons of sectarian conflict or ethnic violence are analysed as examples of theories that causally link intenitonal group behaivour to the worldviews and social identities of the individual agents directly involved. But as will be shown, it is not a priori features of worldivews and identities as such, but historically specific facts and contingent circumstances that need to be examined in order to explain group-motivated behaviour. Reference to worldviews and identities detract from adequate explanation
Truths are valuable, truth isn\u27t
No full textThis paper deals with the relationship that is sometimes said to hold between true beliefs and success. It argues for deflationism about truth. In particular, a position will be defended according to which the instrumental value of true beliefs can be accounted for within a deflationary framework. The paper denies that truth has any non-instrumental value in the sense that truth is pursued for its own sake. Moreover, the instrumental value of true beliefs will be explained in terms of psychological regularities between agents’ ‘correct’ beliefs about the world, rather than in terms of truth as such. The argument concludes with the result that – in the strict sense – truth is valueless because truth is no (genuine) property. However, the value of individual true beliefs is acknowledged, insofar as they foster one’s behavioural success
