ANALISIS PERSONALITY AUDITOR INTERN SERTA PENGSRUHNYA TERHADAP KINERJA BAITUL MAL WAT TAMWIL
Authors: Wardayati Siti Maria
Published: March 2017

A classic problem faced by the management of sharia financial institutions, in this case Baitul Mal Wat Tamwil (BMT), has been being still the same from year to year, namely the limitation of human resources in term of quality, including their internal auditors. An internal auditor is able to influence
the performance of sharia financial institutions whether it is good or bad, because an internal auditor is responsible for providing analysis, information, financial evaluation services, even for giving recommendations to the management. The goals of this research are (1) to find out the characteristics of the variables of the research, namely: internal auditor’s personality, internal auditor’s professionalism, internal auditor’s work result, and sharia financial institution’s
performance. The result of the research demonstrates that (1) as regards the variable of internal auditor’s personality, formal education indicator could not explain internal auditor’s personality, as regards the variable of internal auditor’s professionalism, professional social responsibility
indicator was the strongest indicator in explaining internal auditor’s professionalism, as regards internal auditor’s work result, management’s commitment indicator is the strongest indicator in explaining internal auditor’s work result, and as regards sharia financial institution’s (BMT) performance variable, capital structure and efficiency is two strongest indicators in explaining sharia financial institution’s (BMT) performance, and (2) internal auditor’s personality, internal
auditor’s professionalism, internal auditor’s work result, and sharia financial institution’s performance has a positive and significant correlation, which mean that the better the auditor
internal’s personality the more professional the internal auditor, the more professional the internal auditor the better the work result, the better the work result the better sharia financial institution’s (BMT) performance.
Hg removal and the effects of coexisting metals in forward osmosis and membrane distillation
Authors: Wu Chia-Yu , Chen Shiao-Shing , Zhang Dai-Zhou , Kobayashi Jun
Published: March 2017

In this study, we investigate the rejection of Hg, Cd, and Pb and the effect of coexisting metals on Hg removal through forward osmosis (FO) and membrane distillation (MD) in order to establish a more effective water treatment process. The results of our laboratory experiment indicate that more than 97% of the rejection for each metal is achieved through the FO system, and this rejection is the highest among previous studies using membrane filtrations. Moreover, we examine the matrix effect of the coexisting Cd and Pb on the rejection of Hg in the FO system. Hg2+ rejection increases with increase in the concentration of the coexisting metals. Furthermore, we study the effect of the Hg concentration and the water temperature on rejection of Hg2+. Indeed, the rejection of Hg2+ is achieved above 95% under any condition. However, approximately 1–10 ppb Hg from the feed solution remains in the draw solution due to permeation. Therefore, we use a FO–MD hybrid system. Approximately 100% rejection of Hg2+ and a stable water flux are achieved. Thus, the FO–MD hybrid system is considered an important alternative to previous studies using membrane filtration for heavy metals removal.
Employee work experience, locomotion, and voice behavior
Authors: Li Fangjun , Li Aimei , Zhu Yu
Published: March 2017

Experienced employees are a crucial asset and intelligent resource for organizations. In this study, we examined the effect of employee work experience on employee voice behavior. We also proposed employee locomotion as a factor that would affect voice behavior jointly with their work
experience and we further proposed that work experience would interact with locomotion to influence voice behavior. Data from subordinates (n = 170) and their immediate supervisors (n = 46) were collected from employees working for companies in East China. Results of hierarchical
linear modeling revealed that (a) high locomotion was positively related to promotive voice but not to prohibitive voice; and (b) high locomotion strengthened the association between both work experience and prohibitive voice and work experience and promotive voice. The theoretical and practical
implications of these findings are discussed.
Recognition in social media for supporting a cause: Involvement and self-efficacy as moderators
Authors: Kim Sojung , Um Nam-Hyun
Published: March 2017

We investigated the effect of recognition for supporting a cause on the social networking site Facebook, and measured cause involvement and self-efficacy as moderators in intention to donate and volunteer. We used a 2 × 2 × 2 between-subject factorial design, and obtained
262 responses from an online survey. Results indicated that social recognition, high involvement, and high self-efficacy resulted in more positive behavioral responses. In addition, social recognition served as a greater motivator to donate and volunteer for individuals with low cause involvement
than it did for those with high involvement. Results further suggested that the positive effect of social recognition was amplified for individuals with high self-efficacy compared with those with low self-efficacy. Practical implications for the marketing of nonprofit organizations using
social media are discussed.
Linking leader personality traits to motivation to lead: A self-concept approach
Authors: Chen Lu
Published: March 2017

I tested a model of motivation to lead in relation to two types of leader traits (narcissism and humility). I proposed that leader traits would influence individuals' motivation to lead through the self-concept construction processes of leadership self-efficacy and positivity in leader
identity. Using a 3-wave time-lagged sample comprising 280 managers, I found that (a) both narcissism and humility had significant and positive influences on the affective-identity and social–normative components of motivation to lead; and (b) these relationships were mediated by leadership
self-efficacy and positivity in leader identity. I discuss the implications of these findings for research on leader traits, leadership development, and cross-cultural management.
O prefeito Graciliano Ramos pelo olhar da Gestão Urbana contemporânea
Authors: Ultramari Clovis , Procopiuck Mario , Jazar Manoela Massuchetto
Published: March 2017

Este artigo integra uma pesquisa relativa à transferência de ideias sobre cidades em distintos níveis temporais e geográficos. Aqui, procedeu-se à crítica dos relatórios da gestão do prefeito Graciliano Ramos, em Palmeira dos Índios, Alagoas, nos anos 1920, e seu uso como referência de ideal para gestores municipais de nossa atualidade. Discute-se: 1) o conceito de transferência de ideias em recortes temporais, como nos chegam e como se atualizam aquelas entendidas como corretas em tempos pretéritos; e 2) a referência acrítica feita, pelo gestor atual, da prática utilizada por Graciliano. Apoia-se em referencial teórico, leitura crítica dos relatórios, levantamento bibliométrico e surveys. A análise é qualitativa. As conclusões reiteram a importância do trabalho do prefeito limitada ao seu tempo histórico, porém sugerindo um estranhamento frente à sua permanência como modelo de gestão municipal e à superficialidade, intencional ou não, de como essa referência é feita contemporaneamente.
A cidade-mercadoria e o marketing urbano na (re)construção da imagem dos espaços públicos: o caso da marca da cidade do Rio de Janeiro
Authors: Almeida Giovana Goretti Feijó de , Engel Vonia
Published: March 2017

O artigo apresenta a reflexão em torno do marketing urbano, evidenciando suas funções e aplicações na construção do conceito em espaços urbanos brasileiros, e das territorialidades adjacentes a esse processo, verificando as mensagens implícitas que esses territórios em particular estão transmitindo às pessoas. Para atingir os objetivos propostos, este estudo, de natureza qualitativa e de cunho exploratório, aborda a forma como estão inseridas algumas ações de marketing na cidade do Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. A análise partiu da coleta de dados das imagens e ações estratégicas, de 2011 a 2015, da marca Rio de Janeiro e da verificação dessas imagens construídas mercadologicamente com os conceitos de cidade-mercadoria de Vainer (2002) e de empreendedorismo urbano de Harvey (2005). Os estudos apontaram para um marketing generalizado, principalmente nos planejamentos urbanos, transformando as cidades em mercadorias orientadas pelo poder do capital, retirando delas seu caráter de espaço de encontro e confronto entre cidadãos.
Preserving use case flows in source code: Approach, context, and challenges
Authors: Bystrický Michal , Vranic Valentino
Published: March 2017

Being able to see use case steps directly in code would make the intent expressed by the code more comprehensible and easier to maintain. In this paper, an approach to preserving use case flows (of events) in source code called InFlow is presented within a broader context of its application in the software development process along with the issues that remain as challenges. The approach preserves individual steps of use case flows in the form of their counterpart statements, as well as their ordering. This is achieved by mimicking each use case flow by a sequence of method implementations with each step of the use case flow corresponding to one statement in one of these methods, enabled by the annotation named InFlow. A study of implementing an audio streaming service using InFlow, DCI, and aspect-oriented software development with use cases has been performed and assessed using several metrics in order to determine the level of preserving use case flows in source code. Although InFlow introduces a lot of indirect references to code, the overall results speak in favor of InFlow. DCI adds more complexity to following a use case flow in code than other two approaches. Complexity of making a change to a use case flow ended up with closely matching results. But InFlow guarantees traceability of use case implementation from the domain model implementation.
Performance evaluation and implementation of IP and robust header compression schemes for TCP and UDP traffic in static and dynamic wireless contexts
Authors: Tömösközi Máté , Seeling Patrick , Ekler Péter , Fitzek Frank
Published: March 2017

Modern cellular networks utilising the long?term evolution (LTE) set of standards face an ever?increasing demand for mobile data from connected devices. Header compression is commonly employed to minimise the overhead for IP?based cellular network traffic. In this paper, we evaluate the three header compression implementations used by these networks with respect to their potential throughput increase and complexity for different mobile service scenarios over wireless IP networks. Specifically, we consider header compression as defined by (i) IP Header Compression (RFC 2507), (ii) Robust Header Compression version 1 (RFC 3095), and (iii) the recently updated Robust Header Compression version 2 (RFC 5225) with TCP/IP profile (RFC 6846). The contribution of this article is the performance evaluation of IP Header Compression (IPHC) for UDP and TCP, as well as its evaluation in contrast to the Robust Header Compression (RoHC) methods in a comparative overview for real?world mobile scenarios. Our results show that all implementations have great potential for saving bandwidth in IP?based wireless networks, even under varying channel conditions. While both RoHC versions generally provide more reliable results than IPHC, we find that on a unidirectional channel IPHC could perform better. However, if a TCP connection is prone to packet reordering (e.g., by retransmissions), IPHC?s performance drops drastically, while RoHC?s does not exhibit any significant performance reduction.
Extending the CGLS method for finding the least squares solutions of general discrete-time periodic matrix equations
Authors: Hajarian Masoud
Published: March 2017

The periodic matrix equations are strongly related to analysis of periodic
control systems for various engineering and mechanical problems. In this
work, a matrix form of the conjugate gradient for least squares (MCGLS)
method is constructed for obtaining the least squares solutions of the
general discrete-time periodic matrix equations ?t,j=1 (Ai,jXi,jBi,j +
Ci,jXi+1,jDi,j)=Mi, i=1,2,.... It is shown that the MCGLS method
converges smoothly in a finite number of steps in the absence of round-off
errors. Finally two numerical examples show that the MCGLS method is
efficient.

of nonlinear fractional q-difference equations boundary value problems
involving four-point nonlocal Riemann-Liouville q-integral boundary
conditions of different order. Our results are based on some well-known tools
of fixed point theory such as Banach contraction principle, Krasnoselskii
fixed point theorem, and the Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative. As
applications, some interesting examples are presented to illustrate the main
results.
On the hyperbolicity of edge-chordal and path-chordal graphs
Authors: Bermudo Sergio , Carballosa Walter , Rodríguez José , Sigarreta José
Published: March 2017

If X is a geodesic metric space and x1, x2, x3 ( X, a geodesic triangle T =
{x1, x2, x3} is the union of the three geodesics [x1x2], [x2x3] and [x3x1]
in X. The space X is ?-hyperbolic (in the Gromov sense) if any side of T is
contained in a ?-neighborhood of the union of the other two sides, for every
geodesic triangle T in X. An important problem in the study of hyperbolic
graphs is to relate the hyperbolicity with some classical properties in
graph theory. In this paper we find a very close connection between
hyperbolicity and chordality: we extend the classical definition of
chordality in two ways, edge-chordality and path-chordality, in order to
relate this propertywith Gromov hyperbolicity. In fact, we prove that every
edge-chordal graph is hyperbolic and that every hyperbolic graph is
path-chordal. Furthermore, we prove that every path-chordal cubic graph with
small path-chordality constant is hyperbolic.
On mixed C-semigroups of operators on Banach spaces

Published: March 2017

In this paper an H-generalized Cauchy equation S(t+s)C = H(S(s),S(t)) is
considered, where {S(t)}t?0 is a one parameter family of bounded linear
operators and H : B(X) x B(X) ? B(X) is a function. In the special case,
when H(S(s), S(t))=S(s)S(t)+D(S(s)-T(s))(S(t)-T(t)) with D ? B(X),
solutions of H-generalized Cauchy equation are studied, where {T(t)}t?0 is a
C-semigroup of operators. Also a similar equations are studied on C-cosine
families and integrated C-semigroups.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of multiderivations on lattices and
their fixed sets. By using the superjoinitivity and supermeetability
properties of the multifunctions, we give some new results on properties of
isotone and joinitive multiderivations on lattices. In this way, we show
that under some conditions the fixed set of a multiderivation is an ideal.
A Picard-S iterative method for approximating fixed point of weak-contraction mappings
Authors: Gürsoy Faik
Published: March 2017

We study the convergence analysis of a Picard-S iterative method for a
particular class of weakcontraction mappings and give a data dependence
result for fixed points of these mappings. Also, we show that the Picard-S
iterative method can be used to approximate the unique solution of mixed
type Volterra-Fredholm functional nonlinear integral equation x (t) = F(t,
x(t), ?t1,a1... ?tm,am K(t,s,x(s))ds, ?b1,a1...?bm,am H(t,s,x(s))ds).
Furthermore, with the help of the Picard-S iterative
method, we establish a data dependence result for the solution of integral
equation mentioned above.

Published: March 2017

Abstract: Information delivered by the media makes the people to communicate each other focus on that information. In the long run, communication about the same object between the people will construct a certain community characterized by the ideology of the media. In this sense, communication media plays its role constructing a community. Besides, communication media can also present the social reality only. It does not build a community, but just portraits it. Newspaper can build a certain community with information published in it. But it can just portrait the social reality of its readers. Kedaulatan Rakyat, the oldest newspaper in Indonesia, of course plays the functions above. It builds a community of the readers or just portraits the social reality of society. This paper describes moral problems of the people portrayed byÂ Kedaulatan Rakyat especially its â€œKasusâ€ page. Economic moral cases stays in the first rank among others. The age of 26 up to 45 yearsâ€™ invidious is critical ages for doing immoral acts.

The Puzzle of Petitionary Prayer
Authors: Howard-Snyder Daniel , Howard-Snyder Frances
Published: March 2017

The fact that our asking God to do something can make a difference to what he does underwrites the point of petitionary prayer. Here, however, a puzzle arises: Either doing what we ask is the best God can do or it is not. If it is, then our asking won’t make any difference to whether he does it. If it is not, then our asking won’t make any difference to whether he does it. So, our asking won’t make any difference to whether God does it. Our asking is therefore pointless. In this paper, we try to solve this puzzle without denying either that God must do the best he can or that petitioning God can make a difference to what he does.
Unrestricted Quantification and Natural Theology: Is "the World" on the Index?
Authors: Hansen Stig Børsen
Published: March 2017

The first section of this paper introduces talk about absolutely everything – the world as a totality – as an integral element in the project of natural theology, as it has been presented by Fergus Kerr and Denys Turner respectively. The following section presents talk about the world as a totality of facts as a theme in philosophical logic and outlines a problem it has given rise to there. After confronting the solution originally suggested by Bertrand Russell and defended by David Armstrong, the paper points to key elements of the solution presented by Wittgenstein in Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. I show how Wittgenstein’s answer to the question of unrestricted quantification draws on his notion of showing and the inexpressible. Against this background, the concluding section draws attention to an important difference in ambition between Kerr’s and Turner’s description of the prospects for natural theology.
In Defence of Anthropomorphic Theism
Authors: Forrest Peter
Published: March 2017

I reply to seven objections to anthropomorphic theism: (1) That anthropomorphic theism is idolatrous. In reply I rely on the concept/conception distinction. (2) That faith requires certainty. In reply I argue that full belief may be based on probable inference. (3) That the truly infinite is incomprehensible. In reply I distinguish two senses of knowing what you mean. (4) ‘You Kant say that!’ In reply I distinguish shallow from deep Kantianism. (5) ‘Shall Old Aquinas be forgot?’ In reply I discuss the simplicity of God. (6) What those garrulous mystics say about the ineffable. In reply I argue that mystics should be anthropomorphites. (7) Anti-theodicy. In reply I distinguish the community of all agents from the community of finite frail agents.
Theodical Individualism

First Person and Third Person Reasons in Religious Epistemology
Authors: Zagzebski Linda
Published: March 2017

In this paper I argue that there are two kinds of epistemic reasons. One kind is irreducibly first personal – what I call deliberative reasons. The other kind is third personal – what I call theoretical reasons. I argue that attending to this distinction illuminates a host of problems in epistemology in general and in religious epistemology in particular. These problems include (a) the way religious experience operates as a reason for religious belief, (b) how we ought to understand religious testimony, (c) how religious authority can be justified, (d) the problem of religious disagreement, and (e) the reasonableness of religious conversion.
Hans Jonas' Feeble Theodicy: How on Earth Could God Retire?
Authors: Clavier Paul
Published: March 2017

In this paper, we criticize Hans Jonas’ analogy between God’s power and the operation of physical forces. We wonder why, if omnipotence had proved to be “a self-contradictory concept”, does Jonas still need to invoke the occurrence of horrendous evils to support the view that “God is not all powerful”. We suggest that “God’s retreating into himself in order to give room to the world, renouncing his being and divesting himself of his deity” are beautiful but inconsistent metaphors of creation. Our central claim is that God’s alleged retirement, even if it were conceivable, would not the least diminish his responsibility in the occurrence of evil.
Atonement and the Cry of Dereliction from the Cross
Authors: Stump Eleonore
Published: March 2017

Any interpretation of the doctrine of the atonement has to take account of relevant biblical texts. Among these texts, one that has been the most difficult to interpret is that describing the cry of dereliction from the cross. According to the Gospels of Mathew and Mark, on the cross Jesus cries, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” In this paper, I give a philosophical analysis of the options for understanding the cry of dereliction, interpreted within the constraints of orthodox Christian theology; and I show the suggestiveness of this analysis for interpretations of the doctrine of the atonement.
On Pain and the Privation Theory of Evil
Authors: Samet Irit
Published: March 2017

The paper argues that pain is not a good counter-example to the privation theory of evil. Objectors to the privation thesis see pain as too real to be accounted for in privative terms. However, the properties for which pain is intuitively thought of as real, i.e. its localised nature, intensity, and quality (prickly, throbbing, etc.) are features of the senso-somatic aspect of pain. This is a problem for the objectors because, as findings of modern science clearly demonstrate, the senso-somatic aspect of pain is neurologically and clinically separate from the emotional-psychological aspect of suffering. The intuition that what seems so real in pain is also the source of pain’s negative value thus falls apart. As far as the affective aspect of pain, i.e. ‘painfulness’ is concerned, it cannot refute the privation thesis either. For even if this is indeed the source of pain’s badness, the affective aspect is best accounted for in privative terms of loss and negation. The same holds for the effect of pain on the aching person.
Some Metaphysical Implications of Hegel's Theodicy
Authors: Redding Paul
Published: March 2017

This paper examines Hegel’s claim that philosophy “has no other object than God” as a claim about the essentiality of the idea of God to philosophy. On this idealist interpretation, even atheistic philosophies would presuppose rationally evaluable ideas of God, despite denials of the existence of anything corresponding to those ideas. This interpretation is then applied to Hegel’s version of idealism in relation to those of two predecessors, Leibniz and Kant. Hegel criticizes the idea of the Christian God present within his predecessors in terms of his own heterodox reading of the Trinity in order to resolve a paradox affecting them – the “paradox of perspectivism”.
Can God's Goodness Save the Divine Command Theory from Euthyphro?
Authors: Koons Jeremy
Published: March 2017

Recent defenders of the divine command theory like Adams and Alston have confronted the Euthyphro dilemma by arguing that although God’s commands make right actions right, God is morally perfect and hence would never issue unjust or immoral commandments. On their view, God’s nature is the standard of moral goodness, and God’s commands are the source of all obligation. I argue that this view of divine goodness fails because it strips God’s nature of any features that would make His goodness intelligible. An adequate solution to the Euthyphro dilemma may require that God be constrained by a standard of goodness that is external to Himself – itself a problematic proposal for many theists.
What Kind of Necessary Being Could God Be?
Authors: Swinburne Richard
Published: March 2017

A logically impossible sentence is one which entails a contradiction, a logically necessary sentence is one whose negation entails a contradiction, and a logically possible sentence is one which does not entail a contradiction. Metaphysically impossible, necessary and possible sentences are ones which become logically impossible, necessary, or possible by substituting what I call informative rigid designators for uninformative ones. It does seem very strongly that a negative existential sentence cannot entail a contradiction, and so ‘there is a God’ cannot be a metaphysically necessary truth. If it were such a truth, innumerable other sentences which seem paradigm examples of logically possible sentences, such as ‘no one knows everything’ would turn out to be logically impossible. The only way in which God could be a logically necessary being is if there were eternal necessary propositions independent of human language or God’s will, such that the proposition that there is no God would entail – via propositions inaccessible to us – a contradiction. But if there were such propositions, God would have less control over the universe than he would have otherwise.
Assessing Ontological Arguments
Authors: Wainwright William J.
Published: March 2017

Part I argues that ontological arguments, like other classical proofs of the existence of God, are parts of larger arguments in which they are embedded. These larger arguments include reasons supporting the proofs’ premises and responses to them, and to the proofs’ claims to validity and non-circularity, since, in the final analysis, our assessment of the proofs will express our best judgment of the cumulative force of all the considerations bearing on their overall adequacy. Part II illustrates these points by examining contemporary defences of, and attacks on, one of the ontological argument’s central premises, namely, that God’s existence is logically possible.
On Determining How Important It Is Whether or Not There Is a God
Authors: Mawson T. J.
Published: March 2017

Can the issue of how important it is whether or not there is a God be decided prior to deciding whether or not there is a God? In this paper, I explore some difficulties that stand in the way of answering this question in the affirmative and some of the implications of these difficulties for that part of the Philosophy of Religion which concerns itself with assessing arguments for and against the existence of God, the implications for how its importance may best be defended within secular academe.
Hylomorphism and Resurrection
Authors: Jaworski William
Published: March 2017

Hylomorphism provides an attractive framework for addressing issues in philosophical anthropology. After describing a hylomorphic theory that dovetails with current work in philosophy of mind and in scientific disciplines such as biology and neuroscience, I discuss how this theory meshes with Christian eschatology, the doctrine of resurrection in particular.
Two Kinds of 'Christian Philosophy'
Authors: Löffler Winfried
Published: March 2017

It is controversial whether ‘Christian Philosophy’ is a useful or even consistent notion. After providing some historical background to the problem, I will distinguish and explicate two possible understandings of ‘Christian Philosophy’ which should be kept apart: a ‘Thomistic’ and an ‘Augustinian’ one, of which the latter has garnered more attention in the recent literature. A sketch of the most prominent current ‘Augustinian’ position (Alvin Plantinga’s ‘reformed epistemology’) leads to some considerations for why a ‘Thomistic’ understanding of ‘Christian Philosophy’ has more to recommend it, if the term is regarded as useful at all.
Seeing People and Knowing You: Perception, Shared Knowledge, and Acknowledgment
Authors: Bäckström Stina
Published: March 2017

This article takes up the proposal that action and expression enable perceptual knowledge of other minds, a proposal that runs counter to a tradition of thinking that other minds are special in that they are essentially unobservable. I argue that even if we accept this proposal regarding perceptual knowledge, there is still a difference between knowing another person and knowing other things. I articulate this difference by pointing out that I can know another person by sharing knowledge with her. Such sharing is expressed in the use of the second-person pronoun. Thus, I argue, other minds are indeed special as objects of knowledge, but not in the way the tradition has supposed.
Safety and Knowledge in God
Authors: Mawson T. J.
Published: March 2017

In recent ‘secular’ Epistemology, much attention has been paid to formulating an ‘anti-luck’ or ‘safety’ condition; it is now widely held that such a condition is an essential part of any satisfactory post-Gettier reflection on the nature of knowledge. In this paper, I explain the safety condition as it has emerged and then explore some implications of and for it arising from considering the God issue. It looks at the outset as if safety might be ‘good news’ for a view characteristic of Reformed Epistemology, viz. the view that if Theism is true, many philosophically unsophisticated believers probably know that it’s true. A (tentatively-drawn) sub-conclusion of my paper though suggests that as safety does not by itself turn true belief into knowledge, the recent focus on it is not quite such good news for Reformed Epistemologists as they may have hoped: it’s not that safety provides a new route by which they can reach this sort of conclusion. But safety is still good news for their view at least in the sense that there is no reason arising from considering it to count these philosophically unsophisticated believers as not knowing that there’s a God. I conclude by reflecting that good news for Reformed Epistemology is perhaps bad news for the discipline of Philosophy of Religion more generally, as there’s a possible ‘reflection destroys knowledge’-implication to be drawn. Those who have been led to their religious beliefs in at least some philosophically unsophisticated ways seem to enjoy much safer religious beliefs than those who have been led to their religious beliefs by philosophical reflection, so the discipline as a whole will be adversely affected if safety is eventually accorded the role of a necessary condition for knowledge.
Hume, Causation and Two Arguments Concerning God
Authors: Megill Jason
Published: March 2017

In Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion, Hume (1779/1993) appeals to his account of causation (among other things) to undermine certain arguments for the existence of God. If ‘anything can cause anything’, as Hume claims, then the Principle of Causal Adequacy is false; and if the Principle of Causal Adequacy is false, then any argument for God’s existence that relies on that principle fails. Of course, Hume’s critique has been influential. But Hume’s account of causation undermines the argument from evil at least as much as it undermines arguments for theism, or so I argue. I then suggest that Hume’s account of causation can be used to formulate an alternative argument against classical theism.
Kant's Neglected Objection to the Ontological Argument
Authors: Slater Michael R.
Published: March 2017

This paper argues that Kant’s most famous objection to the ontological argument – that existence is not a real predicate – is not, in fact, his most effective objection, and that his ‘neglected objection’ to the argument deserves to be better known. It shows that Kant clearly anticipates William Rowe’s later objection that the argument begs the question, and discusses why Kant himself seems to have overlooked the force of this criticism in his attempt to demolish the traditional proofs for God’s existence.
Traditional Islamic Exclusivism - A Critique
Authors: Aijaz Imran
Published: March 2017

In this paper, I give an account and critique of what I call ‘Traditional Islamic Exclusivism’ – a specific Islamic interpretation of religious exclusivism. This Islamic version of religious exclusivism rests on exclusivist attitudes towards truth, epistemic justification and salvation. After giving an account of Traditional Islamic Exclusivism by explaining its theological roots in the Qur’an and ahadith (reports of sayings attributed to the Prophet Muhammad), I proceed to critique it. I do so by arguing that Islamic epistemic exclusivism, which forms the main core of Traditional Islamic Exclusivism, is implausible. This criticism subsequently opens up further lines of criticism and discussion of both salvific and alethic exclusivism in an Islamic context. I conclude with some remarks about the implications and significance of my criticisms of Traditional Islamic Exclusivism.
What May I Hope? Why It Can Be Rational to Rely on One's Hope
Authors: Döring Sabine
Published: March 2017

In hoping, what is important to us seems possible, which makes our life appear meaningful and motivates us to do everything within our reach to bring about the things that we hope for. I argue that it can be rational to rely on one’s hope: hope can deceive us, but it can also represent things correctly to us. I start with Philip Pettit’s view that hope is a cognitive resolve. I reject this view and suggest instead that hope is an emotion: hope is a felt evaluation for which we can define a corresponding character trait which in its turn qualifies as a virtue if it is felt whenever its correctness conditions are satisfied. For religious hope in particular it follows from my analysis that, if I believe, I may hope.
