Platonism in Lotze and Frege Between Psyschologism and Hypostasis
In the section “Validity and Existence in Logik, Book III,” I explain
Lotze’s famous distinction between existence and validity in Book III of
Logik. In the following section, “Lotze’s Platonism,” I put this famous
distinction in the context of Lotze’s attempt to distinguish his own position
from hypostatic Platonism and consider one way of drawing the
distinction: the hypostatic Platonist accepts that there are propositions,
whereas Lotze rejects this. In the section “Two Perspectives on Frege’s
Platonism,” I argue that this is an unsatisfactory way of reading Lotze’s
Platonism and that the Ricketts-Reck reading of Frege is in fact the correct
way of thinking about Lotze’s Platonism
Key Trends in Chicago Area Mortgage Lending: Analysis of Data From the 2004 Chicago Area Community
This analysis of Chicago area mortgage lending is intended as a companion piece to Woodstock Institute's 2004 Chicago Area Community Lending Fact Book. It is meant to help put the mortgage lending data found in the Fact Book in a broader regional context. The first section analyzes regional trends in home purchase lending with a focus on changes in home buying patterns between 1999 and 2004. The second section focuses on patterns of high cost lending and foreclosures in the region
Two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets
This review presents some theoretical advances in the field of quantum
magnetism in two-dimensional systems, and quantum spin liquids in particular.
It is to be published as a chapter in the second edition of the book
"Frustrated spin systems", edited by H. T. Diep (World-Scientific). The section
(Sec. 7) devoted to the kagome antiferromagnet has been completely
rewritten/updated, as well as the concluding section (Sec. 8). The other
sections (Secs. 1-6) are unchanged from the first edition of the book
(published in 2005)Comment: 87 pages. 396 references. To be published as a chapter in the second
edition of the book "Frustrated spin systems", edited by H. T. Diep

On the Nature of Hinge Commitments
This is a critical commentary on Pritchard's book Epistemic Angst. In Section 2, I present the closure-based radical skeptical paradox. Then in Section 3, I sketch Pritchard’s undercutting response to this paradox. Finally, in Section 4, I put forward two concerns about Pritchard’s response and I also propose a reading of hinge commitments, the ability reading, that might put some pressure on Pritchard’s own reading of these commitments
Book Review of Section 1983: Sword and Shield
Robert H. Freilich and Richard G. Carlisle have collected sixteen essays from Volumes 11 through 15 of The Urban Lawyer-the journal which has most consistently followed developments in the law of section 1983-and published them as Section 1983: Sword and Shield. Prepared for the Section of Urban, State, and Local Government Law of the American Bar Association, this helpful volume provides a contemporary history of the development of the 1871 Civil Rights Act, from which section 1983 was derived
