We deploy logical notions in moral thought as we do non-moral thought. But how can a expressivist understand the meaning and role of constants thinking? That is question. Here I supply framework for an answer. What called ‘expressivism’ typically comprises negative positive claim. The claim that does not represent existence facts or states affairs. This implies judgments (which might be occurre...

According to Heraclitus, panta rhei — everything is in flux. But what gives that flux its form is the logos — the words or signs that enable us to perceive patterns in the flux, remember them, talk about them, and take action upon them even while we ourselves are part of the flux we are acting in and on. Modern physics is essentially a theory of flux in which the ultimate building blocks of mat...

Following the recent practice turn in privacy research, informational is increasingly analyzed with regard to “appropriate flow of information” within a given practice, which preserves “contextual integrity” that (Nissenbaum, 2010, p. 149; 2015). Such practice-theoretical take on emphasizes normative structure practices as well its structural injustices and power asymmetries, rather than focusi...

Although philosophical approaches to the self are diverse, several of them are relevant to cognitive science. First, the notion of a 'minimal self', a self devoid of temporal extension, is clarified by distinguishing between a sense of agency and a sense of ownership for action. To the extent that these senses are subject to failure in pathologies like schizophrenia, a neuropsychological model ...

Messiah. Al is a good man. He leads fulfilling life. Those around him appreciate and treat with respect. Shortly before his death, he makes an unsettling discovery. Unbeknownst to him, those in community believe Messiah: someone chosen by God, innate virtue, deserving of unconditional As it happens, really man, worthy But if, counterfactually, behaviour personality were disagreeable, would cont...

The present paper presents an anaphoric account of presupposition. It is argued that presuppositional expressions should not be seen as referring expressions, nor is presupposition to be explicated in terms of some non-standard logic. The notion of presupposition should not be relegated to a pragmatic theory either. Instead presuppositional expressions are claimed to be anaphoric expressions wh...

Should we be thinking of extending the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights to include future humanoid robots? And should any such list of rights be accompanied by a list of duties incumbent on such robots (including, of course, their duty to respect human rights)? This presents a momentous ethical challenge for the coming era of proliferation of human-like agents. A robust response to such...

D. Davidson argues that the existence of alternative conceptual schemes presupposes the Kantian scheme-content dualism, which requires a scheme-neutral empirical content and a fixed, sharp scheme-content distinction. The dismantlement of such a Kantian schemecontent dualism, which Davidson calls “the third dogma of empiricism”, would render the notion of alternative conceptual schemes groundles...

Inference has long been the concern of assorted disciplines that vary in focus, rationale, apparatus, terminology, and achievement. There would appear an inverse proportion between the range and the orderliness of the knowledge accumulated by the various disciplines. Literary study tends to the first extreme, logic and its heritage in modern pragmatics to the second, either imbalance precluding...
