Twentieth-century philosophers of religion made strides forward in advancing sophisticated arguments about religious knowledge, language, experience and arguments for the existence of the theistic God. However, by the end of the century Anglo-American philosophers in particular tended to treat philosophy of religion as synonymous with a Christian account of the divine. Male and female philosoph...

We evaluate the performance of five of the most well-known selfstabilizing dining philosophers algorithms in a read/write atomicity model. The algorithms are evaluated under interleaving, power-set and synchronous execution semantics. For all algorithms, we compute latency and throughput of critical section access, as well as the number of safety violations. These metrics are computed under var...

A reorientation is needed in methodological debate about the role of intuitions in philosophy. Methodological debate has lost sight of the reason why it makes sense to focus on questions about intuitions when thinking about the methods or epistemology of philosophy. The problem is an approach to methodology which gives a near exclusive focus to questions about some evidential role that intuitio...

One might think that, once we know something is computable, how efficiently it can be computed is a practical question with little further philosophical importance. In this essay, I offer a detailed case that one would be wrong. In particular, I argue that computational complexity theory—the field that studies the resources (such as time, space, and randomness) needed to solve computational pro...

The purpose of this study was to describe and highlight the work of the so called "atomic" philosophers Leucippus and in particular, his student Democritus, after an extensive research of works written by numerous ancient Greek philosophers and historians. The work of these two philosophers is groundbreaking, covers a wide spectrum of science and humanities and shows their high level of scholar...

Dennett’s (1971, 1987) ideas about the intentional stance have elicited different reactions from philosophers and scientists. Philosophers have focused on Dennett’s alleged anti-realism about the mental while scientists have focused on his three-way distinction among zero-order, first-order, and second-order intentionality. For most philosophers, anti-realism (at least concerning the mental sta...

Are philosophers’ intuitions more reliable than philosophical novices’? Are we entitled to assume the superiority of philosophers’ intuitions just as we assume that experts in other domains have more reliable intuitions than novices? Ryberg raises some doubts and his arguments promise to undermine the expertise defence of intuition-use in philosophy once and for all. In this paper, I raise a nu...
