This article investigates the situation of Hungarian ethno-linguistic minorities in Slovenia and the Slovak Republic. It compares the extent to which the two minority groups’ interests are satisfied and provides an explanation for differences between their de facto statuses. The authors use a logic-based methodology to extract the key parties, issues, and interests. Drawing on the analysis, the structure of each case (i.e. the dependencies between the parties’ interests) is displayed as a simple graph. Differences in the de facto status of the two groups can thus be explained by differences in the respective conflict structure. The authors argue that - as evidenced by the case of the Hungarian minority in Slovakia - a number of unresolved ethnolinguistic minority issues in Central Europe have a high conflict potential and may be a threat for security in the region and the European Union.

Traditional monotheism has long faced logical puzzles (omniscience, omnipotence, and more). We present a simple but plausible 'gappy' framework for addressing these puzzles. By way of illustration we focus on God's alleged stone problem. What we say about the stone problem generalizes to other familiar 'paradoxes of omni-properties', though we leave the generalization implicit. 1 We assume familiarity with the proposed (subclassical) logic but an appendix is offered as a brief review.
