“…This section first considers molecular detections from both spectroscopy and broadband photometry, and then discusses recent measurements of atoms and ions in planets' upper atmospheres. A comprehensive overview of recent detections is also given by Bailey (2014), and present an excellent discussion of the key concepts involved in atmospheric chemistry. Clouds and hazes are subsequently discussed in § 5, and thermal structure in § 6.4.…”

“…Given the rapid expansion of the field, a steady stream of updated reviews is required to keep up to date. A number of excellent review articles have been published on the topic of exoplanet atmospheres, and much in these remains accurate and relevant (Marley et al 2007;Burrows et al 2010;Seager & Deming 2010;Madhusudhan et al 2014;Burrows 2014b;Bailey 2014). Since the latest of these do not discuss the most recent exciting developments, while others discuss results now seen to have been illusory, the time is ripe for another comprehensive review.…”

Detailed characterization of an extrasolar planet's atmosphere provides the best hope for distinguishing the makeup of its outer layers, and the only hope for understanding the interplay between initial composition, chemistry, dynamics & circulation, and disequilibrium processes. In recent years, some areas have seen rapid progress while developments in others have come more slowly and/or have been hotly contested. This article gives an observer's perspective on the current understanding of extrasolar planet atmospheres prior to the considerable advances expected from the next generation of observing facilities. Atmospheric processes of both transiting and directly-imaged planets are discussed, including molecular and atomic abundances, cloud properties, thermal structure, and planetary energy budgets. In the future we can expect a continuing and accelerating stream of new discoveries, which will fuel the ongoing exoplanet revolution for many years to come.Comment: Accepted for publication. 18pp, 10 figures. v3: fixed more reference

“…I cite two physicalists who embrace one or both principles. The first is embraced by Hud Hudson and the second by Bailey himself (Hudson (2001), 121; Bailey (2014), 145–160). Individual Maximality (IM): x is an individual maximal object just in case, necessarily, x is an F and there are no proper parts p of x that are Fs. Property Maximality (PM): A property P is maximal iff necessarily, for any x that is P, there is no y such that y is a proper part of x and y is P.…”

The modal argument and Bailey's contingent physicalism: a rejoinder

Philosophy is experiencing a resurgence of property (PD) and generic substance dualism (SD). One important argument for SD that has played a role in this resurgence is some version of a modal argument. Until recently, premise (3) of the argument (Possibly, I exist, and no wholly physical objects exist.) has garnered most of the attention by critics. However, more recently, the focus has also been on (2) (Wholly physical objects are essentially, wholly, and intrinsically physical and wholly spiritual substances are essentially, wholly, and intrinsically immaterial.). Andrew Bailey has provided one of the best criticisms of (2) on offer. In what follows, I present and clarify one form of the argument and defend premise (2) by responding to important defeaters proffered by Andrew Bailey and his contingent physicalism.

“…The principle is convenient, and it has been gaining traction. The maximality principle has been recently employed, with varying levels of endorsement, by Bailey (2014), Williams (2013), and Walsh (2011). It was earlier endorsed by Burke (1994), Noonan (1999), and Sider (2001Sider ( , 2003.…”

Against the Maximality Principle

To hold that only one conscious thing is sitting in your chair, philosophers have appealed to maximality: If a property M is maximal, then anything that has property M does not have large proper parts that have property M. Philosophers have said that ordinary objects are maximal, including houses, cats, rocks, and have argued by analogy that consciousness is maximal. I argue that the maximality principle mistakenly excludes some members of a kind. Thus, it is not the correct principle to explain why, for example, you are conscious but the proper part that is all-of-you-but-yourarm is not conscious.
