    The impact of the Rasouli decision: a Survey of Canadian intensivists.David Cape, Alison Fox-Robichaud, Alexis F. Turgeon, Andrew Seely, Richard Hall, Karen Burns, Rohit K. Singal, Peter Dodek, Sean Bagshaw, Robert Sibbald & James Downar - 2016 - Journal of Medical Ethics 42 (3):180-185.
  2. The W-defense.Justin A. Capes - 2010 - Philosophical Studies 150 (1):61-77.
    There has been a great deal of critical discussion of Harry Frankfurt’s argument against the Principle of Alternative Possibilities (PAP), almost all of which has focused on whether the Frankfurt-style examples, which are designed to be counterexamples to PAP, can be given a coherent formulation. Recently, however, David Widerker has argued that even if Frankfurt-style examples can be given a coherent formulation, there is reason to believe that an agent in those examples could never be morally blameworthy for what (...)

  3. Capes on the W-Defense.David Palmer - 2013 - Philosophia 41 (2):555-566.
    According to the principle of alternative possibilities (PAP), a person is morally responsible for what he has done only if he could have done otherwise. Widerker (Philosophical Perspectives 14: 181-201, 2000) offers an intriguing argument for PAP as it applies to moral blameworthiness. His argument is known as the “What-should-he-have-done defense” of PAP or the “W-defense” for short. In a recent article, Capes (Philosophical Studies 150: 61-77, 2010) attacks Widerker’s argument by rejecting the central premise on which it rests, namely, (...)

    Beyond food security: women’s experiences of urban agriculture in Cape Town.David W. Olivier & Lindy Heinecken - 2017 - Agriculture and Human Values 34 (3):743-755.
    Urban agriculture is an important source of food and income throughout Africa. The majority of cultivators on the continent are women who use urban agriculture to provide for their family. Much research on urban agriculture in Africa focuses on the material benefits of urban agriculture for women, but a smaller body of literature considers its social and psychological empowering effects. The present study seeks to contribute to this debate by looking at the ways in which urban agriculture empowers women on (...)

    Superman'S Revelation.David Hatfield - 2013-03-11 - In Mark D. White, Superman and Philosophy. Wiley. pp. 131–144.
    Clark Kent may be Superman's secret identity, but Superman is the secret identity of our own cultural inclination to violence. Superman is a part of our mythology, and Girard in particular argues that myth performs a specific function in regard to violence. The hope and faith of the normal people of Earth are fulfilled, as is the mythological formula: Superman returns to meet the imitative violence that is threatening to spiral out of control with violence of his own. Kingdom Come (...)

    Philosophy for teachers (P4T) in South Africa – re-imagining provision to support new teachers’ applied ethical decision-making.Nuraan Davids & Janet L. Orchard - 2019 - Ethics and Education 14 (3):333-350.
    Conventional teacher education programmes do not equip practitioners adequately to navigate ethically complex situations that arise in teaching. One initiative responding to this deficit is ‘Philosophy for Teachers’ (‘P4T’), a 24-hour residential approach to community philosophy. Piloted originally in England, a further workshop took place in South Africa in October 2017, comprising student teachers, teacher educators and philosophers from three historically different universities in the Western Cape. Significant new insights to emerge included greater clarity on the respective contributions of (...)

    Points of Contact: Integrating Traditional and Scientific Knowledge for Biocultural Conservation.Brendan Mackey & David Claudie - 2015 - Environmental Ethics 37 (3):341-357.
    Every region of the world is confronted with ongoing ecosystem degradation, species extinctions, and the loss of cultural diversity and knowledge associated with indigenous peoples. We face a global biocultural extinction crisis. The proposition that traditional knowledge along with scientific understanding can inform approaches to solving practical conservation problems has been widely accepted in principle. Attempts to promote a more bilateral approach, however, are hampered by the lack of a common framework for integrating the two knowledge systems in a way (...)

    Robust Lexically Mediated Compensation for Coarticulation: Christmash Time Is Here Again.Sahil Luthra, Giovanni Peraza-Santiago, Keia'na Beeson, David Saltzman, Anne Marie Crinnion & James S. Magnuson - 2021 - Cognitive Science 45 (4):e12962.
    A long-standing question in cognitive science is how high-level knowledge is integrated with sensory input. For example, listeners can leverage lexical knowledge to interpret an ambiguous speech sound, but do such effects reflect direct top-down influences on perception or merely postperceptual biases? A critical test case in the domain of spoken word recognition is lexically mediated compensation for coarticulation (LCfC). Previous LCfC studies have shown that a lexically restored context phoneme (e.g., /s/ in Christma#) can alter the perceived place of (...)

  16. Propositional interpretability in artificial intelligence.David J. Chalmers - manuscript
    Mechanistic interpretability is the program of explaining what AI systems are doing in terms of their internal mechanisms. I analyze some aspects of the program, along with setting out some concrete challenges and assessing progress to date. I argue for the importance of propositional interpretability, which involves interpreting a system’s mechanisms and behav- ior in terms of propositional attitudes: attitudes (such as belief, desire, or subjective probabil- ity) to propositions (e.g. the proposition that it is hot outside). Propositional attitudes are (...)

  18. The complexity-coherence tradeoff in cognition.David Thorstad - forthcoming - Mind.
    I present evidence for a systematic complexity-coherence tradeoff in cognition. I show how feasible strategies for increasing cognitive complexity along three dimensions come at the expense of a heightened vulnerability to incoherence. I discuss two normative implications of the complexity-coherence tradeoff: a novel challenge to coherence-based theories of bounded rationality and a new strategy for vindicating the rationality of seemingly irrational cognitions. I also discuss how the complexity-coherence tradeoff sharpens recent descriptive challenges to dual process theories of cognition.

    The Subjective/Objective Distinction in Well-Being.David Sobel & Steven Wall - 2025 - Ethics 135 (3):519-544.
    How should we understand the fundamental difference between objective and subjective theories of well-being? Authors typically presuppose some understanding of the divide but don’t do much to explain why that understanding is better than its rivals or gets at the heart of the distinction. We explicate criteria for a better account of the divide and use such criteria to critique extant understandings of the divide. We then propose and defend a new understanding of the divide, one that characterizes subjectivism in (...)

    Towards “Glass Bead Games 2.0”: Nurturing Global Cultural Memories by Means of New Forms of Art and Knowledge Interaction in the Age of AI.David Bartosch - 2024 - Herança – History, Heritage and Culture Journal 7 (Special):12–30.
    The advent of AI calls for an existential self-redefinition of humanity. It necessitates the establishment of a pluralistic global humanist culture that enables us to coexist in the new world of active media and autopoietic technology. In this paper, related philosophical questions give rise to the proposal of a novel metaculture that elevates human heritages and cultural memories to the plane of a digital AI- based infrastructure. I argue for a balanced and holistic approach to human-to-human and human–AI interactions and (...)

    AI as artist: agency and the moral rights of creative works.David R. Charles - 2025 - AI and Ethics.
    The question of who possesses the moral rights of creative works made using the assistance of artificial intelligence (AI) is not fully resolved. In particular, the relationship between moral rights and moral agency in the production of creative works has been under-investigated in the literature. I explore these topics and argue that moral agency, intentionality and values-based reasoning are crucial for the entitlement of moral rights and hence the assignment of authorship. I conclude that, despite their great power to produce (...)

    This is the editorial introduction to a collection that "aims to bring together work about the varied harms caused or aggravated by external cognitive and affective factors, and what we can do about them.

    How Nudging Upsets Autonomy.David Enoch - 2024 - Journal of Philosophy 121 (12):657-685.
    Everyone suspects that nudging offends against the nudged’s autonomy. But it has proved rather difficult to say why. In this paper I offer a new diagnosis of the tension between even the best cases of nudging and the value of autonomy. Relying on the distinction between autonomy as sovereignty and autonomy as non-alienation, I show that nudging need not offend against either. But it does sever the tie between them, it undermines the possibility of achieving non-alienation *in virtue of* having (...)

    Convergence to Bohmian Mechanics in a de Broglie-Like Pilot-Wave System.David Darrow - 2025 - Foundations of Physics 55 (1):1-20.
    Bohmian mechanics supplements the quantum wavefunction with deterministic particle trajectories, offering an alternate, dynamical language for quantum theory. However, the Bohmian wavefunction evolves independently of these trajectories, and is thus unaffected by the observable properties of the system. While this property is widely assumed necessary to ensure agreement with quantum mechanics, much work has recently been dedicated to understanding classical pilot-wave systems, which feature a two-way coupling between particle and wave. These systems—including the “walking droplet” system of Couder and Fort (...)

  28. Two Attempts to Do Without Mental Phrase Markers.David Pereplyotchik - 2017 - In Psychosyntax: The Nature of Grammar and its Place in the Mind. Cham: Springer Verlag.
    I cast doubt on two proposals for doing without mental phrase markers (MPMs). The first is due to Roger Schank and his colleagues at Yale, who constructed comprehension models that relied almost exclusively on semantic and pragmatic resources. I rehearse the striking and pervasive failures of such models and suggest that similar problems will likely plague newer incarnations in the connectionist tradition. The second proposal for doing without MPMs is Devitt’s “brute-causal” conception of language processing, which sees comprehension as a (...)

    The Philosophical Roots of Anti-Capitalism: Essays on History, Culture, and Dialectical Thought.David Black - 2013 - Lanham: Lexington Books.
    This book examines the origins of philosophy in Greek Antiquity and considers key moments of philosophic history as related to revolutionary change, from the French Revolution of 1789 to the May Events of 1968 and beyond. David Black reads Hegel's philosophy--which seems to come to the fore at various "birthtimes in history"--as anticipating Marx's critique of capital, in which the logic of the system intimates a realm beyond it.

    On Consistently Assessing Alleged Mnemonic Systems (or, why isn’t Immune Memory “really” Memory?).David Colaço - forthcoming - Review of Philosophy and Psychology:1-19.
    How should we assess systems whose mnemonic status is contested? There are, for instance, debates over whether immune memory is “really” memory, or akin to memory as ordinarily attributed to human cognition. In this paper, I challenge two arguments often given by detractors in this debate. The first is that the system does not exhibit errors exemplified in human memory. The second is that it can be described and explained in causal terms alone. I argue that our limited knowledge of (...)

    Depending on strangers: freedom, memory, and the unknown self.David P. Levine - 2021 - Oxfordshire: Phoenix Publishing House.
    In this book, David Levine explores the unknown self. The unknown self is the self existing as a potential to become something yet to be determined. The shape our personalities and life experiences take depends on a process. At the outset of this process, the self is, in a sense, a stranger; both to us and to others. The more this is the case, the greater the openness of the process of self-formation to a kind of freedom, which is (...)

    Dialectic’s Role in Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics x 7.David Merry - 2025 - Ancient Philosophy 45 (1):237-257.
    According to a once standard view, the NE is dialectical in the sense that its starting points are endoxa and that it follows a ‘dialectical procedure’ of setting out the endoxa, finding problems among the endoxa, and resolving these problems. In more recent years, however, scholars have pushed back against this view, arguing that Aristotle’s investigations in the NE are guided by scientific norms outlined in the Analytics. Supporters of this ‘scientific’ interpretation leave little room for dialectic. Although I agree (...)

    Whither extensions?David Pereplyotchik - 2020 - Mind and Language 35 (2):237-250.
    Paul Pietroski develops an iconoclastic account of linguistic meaning. Here, I invite him to say more about what it implies about the relations between language, truth, and conceptual content. Readers concerned with securing the objectivity of conceptual thought may be worried about his claims that typical concepts “have no extensions” and that they “fit one another better than they fit the world.” Others might applaud his anti‐extensionalism in natural‐language semantics but fear that his account re‐raises familiar problems about extensions at (...)

    Better but Wrong: Assessing Conflicts Between the Deontic and the Evaluative.David Faraci - forthcoming - Philosophia:1-14.
    In recent work, Benjamin Ferguson and Sebastian Köhler take interest in the claim that permissible acts are always morally better than impermissible acts ( bop ). They argue that bop is both commonsensical and supported by powerful theoretical considerations. They then present a series of cases in which common moral claims appear to conflict with bop. In this paper, I first show that some of the conflicts Ferguson and Köhler identify are merely apparent, as they arise only given theoretical commitments (...)

    Postcard from inside the black box.David Spurrett - 2025 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 48:e45.
    There are indeed questionable motivation constructs in psychology. The diagnosis and proposed remedies in the target article both neglect the crucial consideration that all tendencies to behaviour compete for the same finite set of degrees of freedom. Action selection also has irreducibly economic aspects which should constrain motivation constructs and already inform healthy research programmes.

    Researchers’ perceptions of automating scientific research.David M. Douglas - forthcoming - AI and Society.
    Science is being transformed by the increasing capabilities of automation technologies and artificial intelligence (AI). Integrating AI and machine learning (ML) into scientific practice requires changing established research methods while maintaining a scientific understanding of research findings. Researchers are at the forefront of this change, but there is currently little understanding of how they are experiencing these upheavals in scientific practice. In this paper, we examine how researchers working in several research fields (automation engineering, computational design, conservation decision-making, materials science, (...)

    Categorical Proof-theoretic Semantics.David Pym, Eike Ritter & Edmund Robinson - 2025 - Studia Logica 113 (1):125-162.
    In proof-theoretic semantics, model-theoretic validity is replaced by proof-theoretic validity. Validity of formulae is defined inductively from a base giving the validity of atoms using inductive clauses derived from proof-theoretic rules. A key aim is to show completeness of the proof rules without any requirement for formal models. Establishing this for propositional intuitionistic logic raises some technical and conceptual issues. We relate Sandqvist’s (complete) base-extension semantics of intuitionistic propositional logic to categorical proof theory in presheaves, reconstructing categorically the soundness and (...)

    David Ellison's book is an investigation into the historical origins and textual practice of European literary Modernism. Ellison's study traces the origins of Modernism to the emergence of early German Romanticism from the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, and emphasizes how the passage from Romanticism to Modernism can be followed in the gradual transition from the sublime to the uncanny. Arguing that what we call High Modernism cannot be reduced to a religion of beauty, an experimentation with narrative form, or (...)

    The making of mistakes by organisms and living systems generally is an underexplored way of conceptualising biology and organising experimental research. We set out an informal account of biological mistakes and why they should be taken seriously in biological investigation. We then give an indirect defence of their importance by applying the concept of mistake-making to three kinds of activity: timing, calculation, and communication. We give a range of examples to show that mistakes in these kinds of behaviour can be (...)

    In his inaugural lecture, Heidegger declares that “the idea of ‘logic’ itself disintegrates into the turbulence of a more original questioning” (Wegmarken [Pathmarks], ed. William McNeil [Cambridge University Press, 1998], 117/92). The question pursued in this questioning is that of the meaning of Being (Sein), the Seinsfrage. As an indication of what we are seeking, Heidegger writes in Being and Time: “In the question which we are to work out, what is asked about is Being—that which determines entities as entities, (...)

    Beyond Berkson: Further Light on the Selection Bias.David Atkinson & Jeanne Peijnenburg - 2025 - Notre Dame Journal of Formal Logic 66 (1):143-152.
    The Berkson effect shows that two independent diseases, A and B, become negatively correlated if they are confined within the walls of a hospital. We explain that, simply by adding a third disease, C, the negative correlation may flip into a positive one, and we identify the point where this happens. That leads to a necessary and sufficient condition for a positive as well as a negative correlation between A and B. We further explain that a flip from negative to (...)

    Positive Garden Aesthetics.David Fenner - forthcoming - British Journal of Aesthetics.
    The cognitivist environmental-aesthetic theory of Positive Aesthetics—that holds that nature untouched by humans, known through the lens of science, is always aesthetically good—is not relevant to gardens. Nonetheless, I argue that every garden (with one possible exception) is aesthetically positive, that true summative aesthetic judgements about (bona fide) gardens are always on balance positive, and that every garden possesses more aesthetically positive features than negative ones. I offer three arguments for this thesis: (1) once a garden has more negative than (...)

  45. Category Theory and Set Theory as Theories about Complementary Types of Universals.David Ellerman - 2017 - Logic and Logical Philosophy 26 (2):145-162.
    Instead of the half-century old foundational feud between set theory and category theory, this paper argues that they are theories about two different complementary types of universals. The set-theoretic antinomies forced naïve set theory to be reformulated using some iterative notion of a set so that a set would always have higher type or rank than its members. Then the universal u F = {x | F(x)} for a property F(.) could never be self-predicative in the sense of uF ∈ (...)

    On Esports and competitive cooking: once more on the nature of sport.David Elstein - 2025 - Journal of the Philosophy of Sport 52 (1):98-113.
    I offer a modified definition of sport. Some have claimed that it is impossible to define sport. I believe it is possible to give a definition, understood as articulating intuitive views about what correct usage of the word is. Through an examination of competitive cooking and Esports, I argue that a common definition of sport as a game of physical skill needs to be modified to account for why these should not be considered sports. Although cooking involves physical skill, what (...)

    Love Against Revenge in Shelley's Prometheus.David Bromwich - 2002 - Philosophy and Literature 26 (2):239-259.
    In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:Philosophy and Literature 26.2 (2002) 239-259 [Access article in PDF] Love Against Revenge in Shelley's Prometheus David Bromwich I THE MODERNIST PREJUDICE AGAINST SHELLEY has almost disappeared, but when I talk to friends I discover that few have ever cared for his poetry, and if they go back now to read him sometimes they reinvent the prejudice.

    Evidence for LoTH: Slim pickings.David Pereplyotchik - 2023 - Behavioral and Brain Sciences 46:e286.
    In this commentary, I contend that a representative sample of the arguments in the target article miss the mark. In particular, the interface problem provides no warrant for positing similarities between representational formats, and the evidence from neurocognitive, animal, and behavioral studies is inconclusive at best. Finally, I raise doubts about whether the authors' central hypothesis is falsifiable.
