Drawing on the results of his own scholarly research as well as that of others the author offers, for the first time, a comprehensive and documented history of theories of the atom from Democritus to the twentieth century. This is not history for its own sake. By critically reflecting on the various versions of atomic theories of the past the author is able to grapple with the question of what sets scientific knowledge apart from other kinds of knowledge, philosophical knowledge in particular. He thereby engages historically with issues concerning the nature and status of scientific knowledge that were dealt with in a more abstract way in his What Is This Thing Called Science?, a book that has been a standard text in philosophy of science for three decades and which is available in nineteen languages. Speculations about the fundamental structure of matter from Democritus to the seventeenth-century mechanical philosophers and beyond are construed as categorically distinct from atomic theories amenable to experimental investigation and support and as contributing little to the latter from a historical point of view. The thesis will provoke historians and philosophers of science alike and will require a revision of a range of standard views in the history of science and philosophy. The book is key reading for students and scholars in History and Philosophy of Science and will be instructive for and provide a challenge to philosophers, historians and scientists more generally.

In a world where resources are finite and demands are infinite, the question of how to divide things fairly arises in countless situations. From dividing a piece of cake among friends to allocating scarce medical resources during a pandemic, fair division is a fundamental challenge that affects us all. **Just Solutions: A Comprehensive Guide to Fair Division** offers a comprehensive exploration of this multifaceted concept, delving into its principles, methods, and applications across a wide range of contexts. Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book provides a solid foundation for understanding fair division, whether you are a student, researcher, practitioner, or anyone interested in creating a more just and equitable world. Inside this book, you will discover: * The theoretical foundations of fair division, including mathematical models, axiomatic approaches, and solution concepts. * The historical roots of fair division, from ancient civilizations to modern societies, and the cultural and social factors that shape our understanding of fairness. * Practical applications of fair division in various domains, such as dividing indivisible items, resolving disputes, allocating resources in social, economic, and political settings, and more. * Emerging trends and challenges in fair division, including the impact of technological advancements, the rise of artificial intelligence, and the changing nature of work and society. * The importance of education and awareness about fair division, and its role in promoting just and equitable decision-making.

This textbook connects three vibrant areas at the interface between economics and computer science: algorithmic game theory, computational social choice, and fair division. It thus offers an interdisciplinary treatment of collective decision making from an economic and computational perspective. Part I introduces to algorithmic game theory, focusing on both noncooperative and cooperative game theory. Part II introduces to computational social choice, focusing on both preference aggregation (voting) and judgment aggregation. Part III introduces to fair division, focusing on the division of both a single divisible resource ("cake-cutting") and multiple indivisible and unshareable resources ("multiagent resource allocation"). In all these parts, much weight is given to the algorithmic and complexity-theoretic aspects of problems arising in these areas, and the interconnections between the three parts are of central interest.

Cutting a cake, dividing up the property in an estate, determining the borders in an international dispute - such problems of fair division are ubiquitous. Fair Division treats all these problems and many more through a rigorous analysis of a variety of procedures for allocating goods (or 'bads' like chores), or deciding who wins on what issues, when there are disputes. Starting with an analysis of the well-known cake-cutting procedure, 'I cut, you choose', the authors show how it has been adapted in a number of fields and then analyze fair-division procedures applicable to situations in which there are more than two parties, or there is more than one good to be divided. In particular they focus on procedures which provide 'envy-free' allocations, in which everybody thinks he or she has received the largest portion and hence does not envy anybody else. They also discuss the fairness of different auction and election procedures.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 23rd International Conference on Group Decision and Negotiation, GDN 2023, which took place in Tokyo, Japan during June 11–15, 2023. The field of Group Decision and Negotiation focuses on decision processes with at least two participants and a common goal but conflicting individual goals. Research areas of Group Decision and Negotiation include electronic negotiations, experiments, the role of emotions in group decision and negotiations, preference elicitation and decision support for group decisions and negotiations, and conflict resolution principles. This year’s conference focusses on multimodal interactions. The 11 full papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 102 submissions. They were organized in the following topical sections: Taking a step back: Critically re-examining technology interactions with group decision and negotiation; preference modeling and multi-criteria decision-making; and conflict modeling and distributive mechanisms.
