Focusing on Early Bronze Age Iberia (ca. 2200–1550 BCE), it examines interactions between El Argar, one of the most dynamic economic and political formations in prehistoric Western Europe, and the non-state communities occupying its northern periphery. Drawing on more than a century of archaeological research across an area in excess of 210,000 km 2 , the study combines statistical and spatial analyses of the distribution of the available evidence with archaeological interpretation. Results identify macro-regional north–south economic gradients alongside localised patterns of resistance and negotiation, revealing a long-lasting interaction zone characterised by settlement atomization, enrockment, selective exchange of metals and ivory, and elevated interpersonal violence. Rather than passive margins, peripheral communities actively constructed this borderland through economic autonomy, strategic interaction, and violent resistance. These findings refine world-systems perspectives while preserving the specificity of local dynamics.","PeriodicalId":47005,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archaeological Research","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149210781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Challenging dominant narratives that viruses are individualistic pathogens, sociovirologists explore the social interaction of viruses through the language of cooperation, altruism, and cheating, social concepts with biological definitions. Viruses cannot self-replicate-they must rely on living cells to reproduce-and thus are commonly believed to be biologically nonliving. By focusing on virus-virus interaction and evolution, sociovirologists are displacing reproduction as a chief engine of aliveness and queering biology and the concept of life. I contend that in sociovirological publications, the aliveness of viruses is indexed through sociovirologists' use of language reserved for the interactions and social behaviors of life-forms alongside viruses' ability to evolve. This paper illustrates that by attending to social behavior and evolution, sociovirologists are proffering novel approaches to both viruses and the concept of life that displaces individual organism reproduction and vertical inheritance as normative of life with species reproduction and species evolution as normative for viruses even if nonnormative for biological understandings of life. Viruses are alive because, as species, they evolve despite an individual viral particle's fate.</p>","PeriodicalId":56308,"journal":{"name":"History and Philosophy of the Life Sciences","volume":"48 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149198272","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The limits of critical thinking: climate skepticism, epistemic trespassing, and the understanding that grounds trust","authors":"Tadej Todorović,Janez Bregant","doi":"10.1007/s13194-026-00796-z","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s13194-026-00796-z","url":null,"abstract":"Abstract What should the public understand about climate change to form true beliefs and responsibly participate in democratic deliberation? We argue for a partly negative and partly positive answer. Negatively, the public does not need to understand the climate or first-order evidence in climate science: endeavors that pursue such first-order competence, such as mainstream critical thinking (CT) and logic-based inoculation strategies task non-experts with a demand they cannot reliably perform. We demonstrate this by applying such inoculation procedures to a sophisticated and credentialed argument against climate change, and show that encouraging non-experts to evaluate the first-order premises and scientific claims leads to epistemic trespassing. Positively, we argue that what the public actually needs for responsible participation in the climate debate is a more modest and attainable understanding of the social epistemology of science – understanding how the scientific consensus is formed and why the process is more reliable than the alternatives. This kind of understanding transforms blind reliance into rationally warranted trust. In doing so, we distinguish the process of higher-order critical assessment, the understanding it gives, and the calibrated deference it licenses, and we locate higher-order evidence on the side of warranted trust rather than first-order understanding. The result is an epistemically responsible framework for public engagement with climate science that redirects, rather than abandons, critical thinking.","PeriodicalId":48832,"journal":{"name":"European Journal for Philosophy of Science","volume":"73 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2026-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149210825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These judgments may, however, be biased and unreliable—they may be systematically distorted by framing and emotion effects, by the effects of self-interest, and by a whole host of other cognitive and affective biases. Supposing we find evidence of biased ethical judgments, can we deal with these judgments in ways that promote reliability while approximating, as far as possible, the moral and political ideals of deliberation? In this paper, I explore this question by outlining and evaluating three respectful debiasing methods, which aim to mitigate bias but in a morally and politically respectful way. In brief, the methods are: (1) Improving the conditions of elicitation but accepting whatever judgments that result, (2) Suggesting to specific members of the public that they may be biased and leaving them to decide whether to debias, and (3) Surveying the public's standards for bias and applying these standards to their ethical judgments.</p>","PeriodicalId":55379,"journal":{"name":"Bioethics","volume":"40 9","pages":"1075-1083"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bioe.70156","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148431596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following the trend of applying mini-publics in diverse policy decisions, the Korean National Health Insurance System experimentally held 16 public deliberation workshops since 2012. This study discusses the 5th and 10th workshops among the 16 conducted, using them as a case example to evaluate the utility and informativeness of mini-publics in health policy making. After briefly explaining the method and results of the two workshops, this study reviews the main arguments that call for the use of public deliberation in societal decisions. Based on these arguments, the study concludes that the results of the two workshops are insufficient to serve as useful information for relevant health policy making and the reasons therefor. The study posits that similar to the two workshops, mini-publics sometimes fail to provide informative results for technically oriented questions, result in serious disagreements and fall short of achieving some deliberative ideals, such as equal participation, reasonableness, and fairness. Given that running a public deliberation process is generally cost-consuming, despite its potential benefits, the current widespread applications of mini-publics should be carefully examined.</p>","PeriodicalId":55379,"journal":{"name":"Bioethics","volume":"40 9","pages":"1039-1049"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bioe.70190","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148972500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mitchell","doi":"10.1002/oa.70165","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/oa.70165","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;This editorial sits in a series aiming to give helpful guidance to those submitting manuscripts for publication to the &lt;i&gt;International Journal of Osteoarchaeology&lt;/i&gt; (IJO), in particular early career colleagues starting out in publishing their research (e.g., Bendrey and Mitchell &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;). An issue that sometimes occurs is a submission to the journal which considers an interesting or useful dataset, but which does not respond to a research question, problem, or identified gap in existing literature. Such manuscripts may suffer from a range of issues. The absence of a research problem or identified research gap to address reduces the strength of justification for publication; it also impacts ability to develop a compelling narrative. This can leave a study feeling less focused, less important, and descriptive rather than analytical.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Common writing devices that can give purpose and structure to a manuscript include research questions, aims, objectives, and hypotheses. Their frequency of use varies within and between disciplines (Thelwall and Mas-Bleda &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;), and they are certainly not universally used or all required. Given this variability and the range of studies that IJO publish, this editorial is not aiming to provide prescriptive guidance, but to offer some pointers for researchers to reflect upon ways to help shape stronger submissions and subsequent publications. There is also a broad range of published guidance to support scholars in problematizing their research and shaping effective research questions, which can be consulted depending on discipline and type of study (e.g., Alvesson and Sandberg &lt;span&gt;2011&lt;/span&gt;; Barroga and Matanguihan &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;; Purvis et al. &lt;span&gt;2024&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A common starting point for research is often the identification of a gap in the existing literature (Sandberg and Alvesson &lt;span&gt;2011&lt;/span&gt;). This gap informs the topic that the study will address and can subsequently help focus a useful research question. Without a clear direction or purpose, manuscripts can appear as mere data dumps, making them less compelling for publication. We regularly receive submissions where the stated aims of the paper are just to provide new data from an archaeological site. Such a framing of the study misses the opportunity to maximize how the data are used. In contrast, an aim of using that new data to answer a research question for which there is current uncertainty is much more worthy of publication and will have far greater impact and reach among readers. Clearly articulating the contribution of the study is important to justify its significance. Demonstration of the research gap as a relevant and timely issue will require locating into the most up-to-date literature.
