    Continuum-many Boolean algebras of the form
    Journal of Symbolic Logic 69 (3): 799-816. 2004.
    We examine the question of how many Boolean algebras, distinct up to isomorphism, that are quotients of the powerset of the naturals by Borel ideals, can be proved to exist in ZFC alone. The maximum possible value is easily seen to be the cardinality of the continuum 2ℵ0; earlier work by Ilijas Farah had shown that this was the value in models of Martin’s Maximum or some similar forcing axiom, but it was open whether there could be fewer in models of the Continuum Hypothesis. We develop and appl…Read more

    This book critically advances readings of Jacques Derrida to offer a renewed understanding of the problem of decision and its inherent exclusivity. Michael Oliver applies this deconstructive insight to the contexts of justice pursuits and theological negotiations of divine decision, arguing for the necessity of reckoning with difficult decisions.
