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 ...

The Integrated Information Theory (IIT) is a leading scientific theory of consciousness, which implies a kind of panpsychism. In this paper, I consider whether IIT is compatible with a particular kind of panpsychism, known ...

This thesis revolves around the question of how readers perceive structural unity in photobooks. The question is approached through attentive description and analysis of three contemporary American works – Collier Schorr’s ...

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 ...

It is widely thought that the acceptability of an abstraction principle is a feature of the cardinalities at which it is satisfiable. This view is called into question by a recent observation by Richard Heck. We show that ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Få norske kunstnere har hatt like stor suksess i Paris som Edvard Diriks (1855–1930). I årene mellom 1899 og 1922, som her kalles «den sene franske perioden», var han godt integrert i det internasjonale avantgarde-miljøet ...
