This explains why a competent and rational speaker who finds the sentence “Hesperus is Hesperus” trivial can find the sentence “Hesperus is Phosphorus” informative. This paper introduces a pragmatist account based on …

Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between personal identity and the first-person perspective in light of Kant’s conception of a person. Following the rationalist tradition, Kant defines (psychological) personhood in terms of the consciousness of one’s own personal identity throughout time. While it is undisputed that Kant rejects the rationalist arguments …

One way of thinking of the fundamental rule of psychoanalysis, the injunction to free association, is as the throwing off limitations on self-expression. But I argue that, somewhat …

This paperrevisits that assumption. The suggestion is that the paradox stems more specificallyfrom our confusion about justification of beliefs, not justification toutcourt, …

We invite PhD students at universities affiliated with the CUSO (Unil, Unige, Unine, Unifr, Unibe) to submit an abstract for the upcoming CUSO workshop titled Normativity and Reasons. The …

–

Abstract:

It is commonly held that Kant’s account of existence foreshadows Frege’s, Russell’s, and Quine’s disdain for non-existent objects. This interpretation has consequences for the interpretation of Kant’s modal metaphysics because it excludes attributing an ontology of merely possible objects (possibilia) to Kant. Consequently, it has become standard in the literature …

Abstract:

Public officials—such as legislators, judges, and law enforcement officers—sometimes make mistakes. The question that this paper focusses on is whether the individuals who make these mistakes, by virtue of occupying their official role, sometimes possess a right against interference or harm that a private individual who made the same kind …

Abstract:

My talk will be about phenomenology understood as a discipline, an enterprise or an inquiry in philosophy, rather than as a movement in the history of philosophy: as the title suggests, it will be about the (so-called) phenomenological approach and not – or not just – about the (so-called) phenomenological …

Abstract:

I argue that level-incoherence has distinctive epistemic value in a specific set of epistemic environments: those in which it is easy to acquire justified false beliefs about normative requirements of epistemic rationality. I argue that in these environments level-incoherence is the rationally dominant strategy. Nevertheless, the idea that level-incoherence is …

Abstract

In this paper, I set out a new argument for the coherence of indeterministic building and defend its premises. The argument hinges on the underexplored notion of indeterministic supervenience. First, I argue that the logical possibility of an indeterministic supervenience relation entails the coherence of indeterministic building. Second, I argue …

ABSTRACT

Our lives are valuable partly because we are moral agents. We can lead a morally good life because we can act, morally, in the right way, towards others and towards the world. I will argue that moral agency requires the capacity for consciousness, and therefore that consciousness is valuable. First, …

ABSTRACT:

In colour illusion, when a perceptible object sensibly appears to have some colour quality it lacks, it is tempting to say that one is nonetheless aware of an actual instance of the ‘illusorily’ presented colour (the one that the object appears to have). Traditionally in the perception literature, sense-datum …
