The problem of the continuum has a central part in the development of Leibnizian mature system. It appears, early in the 70s, when he intends to explain matter & its union with the soul from a geometric-mechanistic perspective. The same question reappears later, in the debate with Arnauld on substantial unity. In defining substance in terms of realunity, Leibniz expels continuity to the ideal realm. In doing so, he puts his system on the way to both, a monadological ontology & a metaphysical scheme articulated in three levels (real, phenomenal & ideal). Adapted from the source document.

This article presents a number of variables that account for the (lack of) trust in the Chamber of Deputies. Rather than offering a detailed analysis, it highlights broader aspects of the state apparatus where different variables affect trust in institutions. Taking a multi-focus approach incorporating attitudes and values, as well as assessments of the operation and performance of institutions, the article addresses levels of trust in Congress.

In his article the author intends to demonstrate the fact of being a sympathizer of the party Accion Nacional (PAN) implies six variable independents: indoctrination of the faith; trust in others; interest in politics & self-placement on the axis left-right; equality-inequality; private property vs. government. The influence of these variables is not isolated but taken as a whole. These variables are distinctive of the followers of the Party Accion Nacional, which is to say it distinguishes them from the Partido Revolucionario Institucional as well as those of the Partido de la Revolucion Democratica.

It is a common view that the establishment of liberal values & practices in Mexico has been a failure. Without denying the core of truth in this diagnosis, I argue that in order to assess the success or failure of nineteenth century liberalism in Mexico it is necessary first to determine its conceptual content. I argue against the assumption that this assessment can be carried out from the point of view of a theoretical model of what liberalism is supposed to be. I claim that such conceptual content must be reconstructed by examining the way in which 19th century political actors employed liberal values in order to address their own political problems as well as on the basis of the fundamental legal texts & institutions that they established.

Applies Leslie A. Hayduk's 1988 structural equation modeling to a previous (1997) values survey of US, Canadian, & Mexican societies in order to identify some more latent variables indicative of Mexico's unique cultural profile. The regression analysis of the model is described, highlighting its ability to discern new differences in how Canadians, Americans, & Mexicans view work, education, & political participation. Of the 27 variables, the three societies agreed equally on the importance of (1) the value of participating in public demonstrations, (2) dedicating time to social liberty, & (3) participating in free associations. Mexico distinguished itself by placing higher priorities on respect for authority, confidence in bureaucracy & the various institutions prone to bureaucracy (legislature, law, & the press), private property, & instilling social responsibility. Canada & the US listed receiving tangible results from work, social work, & work satisfaction as their top three values. 6 Tables, 1 Figure, 9 References. Adapted from the source document.
