    Methodological Individualism and Methodological Localism: A Discussion with Daniel Little

    No full text
    This chapter takes the form of a discussion between the editors of this volume and Daniel Little regarding the relationship between methodological individualism and methodological localism. The focus is on Little’s view that methodological individualism is incompatible with the assumption that actors are socially constituted and socially situated as well as on other topics such as micro-foundations, the micro–macro link, ontological individualism, causal explanation, rationality, Bourdieu’s theory of habitus, and Durkheim

    Little rip in classical and quantum f(R) cosmology

    No full text
    The little rip is a cosmological abrupt event predicted by some phantom dark energy models that could describe the future evolution of our Universe. This event can be interpreted as a big rip singularity delayed indefinitely, although in those models bounded structures will be destroyed in a finite cosmic time in the future. In this work, we analyze the little rip cosmology from a classical and quantum point of view within the scheme of alternative metric f(R) theories of gravity. The quantum analysis is performed in the framework of f(R) quantum geometrodynamics by means of the modified Wheeler-DeWitt equation. In this context, we show that the DeWitt criterion can be satisfied. Similar to what happens in general relativity, this result points toward the avoidance of the little rip in f(R) quantum cosmology.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (España)European CommissionUniversidad Complutense de MadridBanco de SantanderIkerbasqueEusko JaurlaritzaDepto. de Física TeóricaFac. de Ciencias FísicasInstituto de Física de Partículas y del Cosmos (IPARCOS)TRUEpu
