title: Dąmbska’s concept of language and Kokoszyńska’s refutation of truth relativism

authors: Ulatowski, Joseph W.

abstract: Izydora Dąmbska and Maria Kokoszyńska-Lutmanowa may be listed among the most accomplished philosophers of twentieth century analytic philosophy. Despite this, their work has largely been underappreciated, especially by truth-theorists. I seek to rectify this injustice by showing how their ideas represent an important innovation to overcome a challenge repeatedly leveled against semantic conceptions of truth. I argue that Dąmbska’s concept of language may serve to neutralise the mistaken impression that Kokoszyńska’s refutation of truth relativism, and others like it, must be relativised to a given language.

title: The mobile hermit and the city: Considering links between places, objects, and identities in social psychological research on homelessness

authors: Hodgetts, Darrin

subjects: homeless

abstract: This article explores aspects of a homeless man's everyday life and his use of material objects to maintain a sense of place in the city. We are interested in the complex functions of walking, listening and reading as social practices central to how this man forges a life as a mobile hermit across physical and imagined locales. This highlights connections between physical place, use of material objects, imagination, and sense of self. Our analysis illustrates the value of paying attention to geographical locations and objects in social psychological research on homelessness.
