INTERMEDIATE MODELS AND KINNA–WAGNER PRINCIPLES
No full textKinna–Wagner Principles state that every set can be mapped into
some fixed iterated power set of an ordinal, and we write KWP to denote that
there is some α for which this holds. The Kinna–Wagner Conjecture, formulated by the first author [Bull. Symb. Log., arXiv:2006.04514], states that if
V is a model of ZF + KWP and G is a V -generic filter, then whenever W is an
intermediate model of ZF, that is V ⊆ W ⊆ V [G], then W = V (x) for some x
if and only if W satisfies KWP. In this work we prove the conjecture and generalise it even further. We include a brief historical overview of Kinna–Wagner
Principles and new results about Kinna–Wagner Principles in the multiverse

William Morris and the problem of Englishness
No full textIn The Lion and the Unicorn George Orwell suggested that English socialists
had underestimated the unifying role of patriotism in the struggle for socialist
change. Marxists in particular, seduced by ideas of class struggle, had
mistakenly associated socialism with soulless internationalism. Considering
how eager late nineteenth century socialists – and Marxists - were to wrap
their ideas in patriotic garb, Orwell’s view appears dubious. Yet the idea that
English socialists have neglected the importance of patriotism has proved to
be persuasive: in recent years early socialists, including William Morris, the
subject of this paper, have again been accused of wrongly overlooking the
importance of national tradition to socialism. Whilst historians have
acknowledged the force of his ‘oppositional Englishness’, political theorists -
notably David Miller - have argued that Morris opted for a sub-national form of
community, based on fellowship, as the preferred unit of socialist
organisation...
George Woodcock: the ghostwriter of anarchism
No full textIn ordinary language, a ghost writer is someone who stands behind or writes on
behalf of a named author. In dubbing George Woodcock the ghost writer of anarchism
we instead want to suggest that Woodcock identifi ed anarchism’s ‘essence’ or,
as Stirner has it, ‘the spirit that walks in everything’.2 Aft er considering the evolution
of Anarchism in the context of Woodcock’s political activism we discuss Woodcock’s
contribution to the construction of the anarchist canon and his treatment of anarchism’s
‘essence’

William Godwin
No full textGodwin was an eighteenth-century radical writer and journalist and one of the leading participants in the debates sparked by the French Revolution. An ally of Tom Paine, he was also a critic of Edmund Burke, the Whig-cum-conservative author of Reflections on the Revolution in France. Godwin shared Burke’s abhorrence of The Terror but wholly rejected his glowing defence of aristocracy. At first enthusiastic about the Revolution, Godwin made two lasting interventions into revolutionary debates, the theoretical treatise Political Justice and the novel Caleb Williams.....

APPROACHING A BRISTOL MODEL
No full textThe Bristol model is an inner model of L[c], where c is a Cohen real, which is not constructible from a set. The idea was developed in 2011 in a workshop taking place in Bristol, but was only written in detail by the author in [8]. This article is a guide for those who want to get a broader view of the construction. We try to provide more intuition that might serve as a jumping board for those interested in this construction and in odd models of ZF. We also correct a few minor issues in the original paper, as well as prove new results. For example, the Boolean Prime Ideal theorem fails in the Bristol model, as some sets cannot be linearly ordered, and the ground model is always definable in its Bristol extensions. In addition to this we include a discussion on Kinna–Wagner Principles, which we think may play an important role in understanding the generic multiverse in ZF
