Timothy Chambers, "Venn Diagrams [Show that Nothing Is Real]"

Timothy Chambers, "Venn Diagrams" in Mathematics Teacher, vol. 87 (January 2004), p. 3 Here, I use Venn Diagrams to study some claims made in the article, "It's a Good Thing Cows Can't Fly in Mobile" (Skeptical Inquirer, Nov/Dec 2002). Some amusing corollaries follow from the claims.

Timothy Chambers, "Time Travel: How Not to Defuse the Principal Paradox"

Is time travel possible in a world governed by familiar physical laws? In this article, Chambers takes issue with one affirmative answer to this question, offered by Peter J. Riggs.

Timothy Chambers, "On Vagueness, Sorites, and Putnam's 'Intuitionistic Strategy'"

Hilary Putnam has claimed that vague adjectives avoid the Sorites Paradox if we are restricted to "intuitionistic" inferences. This paper recounts basics of the Sorites Paradox, then takes issue with Putnam's claim.
