Imagine a person, say, an employer, who values gender equality, yet intuitively disqualifies female candidates in a job interview. Or someone else, a judge, who explicitly disapproves of racism, but nevertheless more readily ...

I present an analysis of the interpretation of anaphora that takes concepts from type-theoretic semantics, in particular the use of the Sigma and Pi dependent type constructors, and incorporates them into a model-theoretic ...

In this chapter, I aim to show that concerns beyond the political were involved in the sharp distinction between news and opinion that was articulated in the censorship instruction. I will argue that the structure of the ...

Papyrology has always been at the forefront of digital humanities and this monograph is no exception to this practice. The book under review is one of the outcomes of the European Research Council (ERC)-project “Online ...

Glue Semantics is a theory of the syntax-semantics interface according to which the syntactic structure of a sentence produces premises in a fragment of linear logic, and the semantic interpretation(s) of the sentence ...

Propositional quantifiers are added to a propositional modal language with two modal operators. The resulting language is interpreted over so-called products of Kripke frames whose accessibility relations are equivalence ...

Several theorists argue that one does not experience something as being at or coming from a distance or direction in olfaction. In contrast to this, I suggest that there can be a variety of spatial aspects of both synchronic ...

In this paper we argue that knowledge is characteristically safe true belief. We argue that an adequate approach to epistemic luck must not be indexed to methods of belief formation, but rather to explanations for belief. ...

A theory of normative reasons for action faces the fundamental challenge of accounting for the dual nature of reasons. On the one hand, some reasons appear to depend on, and vary with, desires. On the other hand, some ...

There are two traditional ways to read Kant’s claim that every event necessarily has a cause: the weaker every-event some-cause (WCP) and the stronger same-cause same-effect (SCP) causal principles. The debate on whether ...

We often speak as if there are merely possible people—for example, when we make such claims as that most possible people are never going to be born. Yet most metaphysicians deny that anything is both possibly a person and ...

This chapter is an introduction to how the combination of two views – semantic minimalism and speech act pluralism (‘SM+SAP’, for short) – can be used to explain some aspects of our practice of making knowledge attributions. ...

The Carmina Anacreontea (CA) is a collection of ancient Greek poems which recreate the literary inheritance of their model, the archaic Greek poet Anacreon. The poems were written by several anonymous authors from various ...

Taking as a starting point the recent interest of design history in the history of actors, groups or events that fall outside an institutional context, this article discusses methodological challenges related to research ...

The view that the soul can exist separately from the body is commonly associated with dualism. Since Plato’s Phaedo (Phd.) argues that the soul is immortal and survives the death of the body, there seems to be reason to ...

That a certain principle pervades the whole of the Dionysian corpus has been commonly acknowledged by readers of the works of this intriguing author. The principle is that of participation, which frames the structure of ...

Two expressive limitations of an infinitary higher-order modal language interpreted on models for higher-order contingentism – the thesis that it is contingent what propositions, properties and relations there are – are ...

Syntactic discontinuities are very frequent in classical Latin and yet this data was never considered in debates on how expressive grammar formalisms need to be to capture natural languages. In this paper I show with ...

Aristotle thinks that an account, a logos, of some sort is characteristic of craft, technē. Some scholars think that the logos element of technē is tagged onto experience as a theoretical element not directly engaged in ...

In the first book of the Transcendental Dialectic we find Kant’s criticism of four syllogistic proofs about the soul. On his view the proofs are formally invalid. Hence, as opposed to the view of their proponents – the ...

In this paper I explore the idea that Glue Semantics enriched with additional unary connectives could provide a natural account of some (positive) locality conditions on binding. I argue that the additional connectives can ...

El objetivo del siguiente artículo es presentar la formación de las poblaciones callampa en Chile durante la segunda mitad del siglo xx (especialmente entre 1950 y 1970), como una manifestación del derecho de necesidad de ...

Color adjectives tend to be used redundantly in referential communication. I propose that redundant color adjectives (RCAs) are often intended to exploit a color contrast in the visual context and hence facilitate object ...

This paper is a study of higher-order contingentism – the view, roughly, that it is contingent what properties and propositions there are. We explore the motivations for this view and various ways in which it might be ...

A formal result is proved which is used in Juhani Yli-Vakkuri’s ‘Epistemicism and Modality’ to argue that certain two-dimensional possible world models are inadequate for a language with operators for ‘necessarily’, ...

I consider the first-order modal logic which counts as valid those sentences which are true on every interpretation of the non-logical constants. Based on the assumptions that it is necessary what individuals there are and ...

Copredication is the phenomenon whereby two or more predicates are applied to a single argument, but those predicates appear to require that their argument denote different things. This article focuses on the problem of ...
