Abstract: I will present a new counterexample to the Principle of the Identity of Indiscernibles in the form of a world allowing for incompatible time-lines (or histories). The toy-universe I will be working with will be interpreted according to the Branching Space-Time Theory, presented for the first time in Belnap (1992). In this sense, I… |

Abstract:聽The insight behind TSIM theory is that we should take at face value the view of belief, knowledge, (cognitive) information, but also of other notions less explored in formal logic, like imagination and mental simulation, as (propositional) representational mental states bearing intentionality, that is, being about states of affairs, issues, situations, or circumstances which make… |

Abstract. 鈥� In this talk I argue that our engagement in debates about art can be fruitfully understood along the same lines as debates in conceptual engineering. Proposals in conceptual engineering are not to be evaluated on the basis of their ability to track empirical essences but on the basis of a concept鈥檚 epistemic, pragmatic,… |

Recent philosophy has paid considerable attention to the way our biases are liable to encroach upon our cognitive lives, diminishing our capacity to know and unjustly denigrating the knowledge of others (e.g., Fricker 2007). The extent of the bias, and the range of domains to which it applies, has struck some as so great as… |

Abstract:聽E-sentences (entailment-sentences) are metalinguistic sentences like , , and . This type of sentences is found at the heart of the epistemology of logic as their truth-values tell us what follows from what.聽Justification holism聽says that beliefs regarding E-sentences can only be justified in the context of a logical theory, e.g. classical, intuitionistic, paraconsistent etc. Thus,… |

Abstract We can tell tales not just of what does not happen, but of what cannot happen. I think this phenomenon can tell us two kinds of philosophically interesting things. It tells us interesting things about fiction and how to understand it. It also tells us interesting things beyond fiction: about how representation works, about… |

Abstract. 鈥� Do conceptual revisions change the subject? Do revolutionary analyses of familiar kinds? A standard picture of meaning 鈥� that an expression鈥檚 truth conditions are essential to it 鈥� suggests so. I present an alternative. The novel usages philosophers propose have analogues in ordinary discourse that figure in a family of puzzles about diachronic… |

Abstract: Take an account of property individuation to be hyperintensional just in case that account individuates properties more finely than necessary equivalence. Proponents of hyperintensional accounts of property individuation are generally led to embrace these accounts because of certain phenomena surrounding concepts like meaning, thought, and knowledge. For example, we can think about a triangle… |

Abstract: Are social identities relevant to perceptual experience? If we were to draw on the phenomenological tradition to ask this, we might say instead: is perceptual experience situated? If so, in what way? Embodied theories of perception might be good candidates to answer this question, since they claim that the body and the environment make…

*Password: ACEW20* Abstract. 鈥� Conceptual engineering is the study of how to evaluate and change our concepts, meanings, words, and other representational devices. Experimental philosophy is the use of scientific techniques to collect data on human reactions to central examples in philosophy. One familiar project in conceptual engineering is to address the defects in our… |
