  • Beyond Concepts

    Unicepts, Language, and Natural Information

    by Ruth Garrett Millikan ...
    Ruth Garrett Millikan presents a highly original account of cognition - of how we get to grips with the world in thought. The question at the heart of her book is Kant's 'How is knowledge possible?', but answered from a contemporary naturalist standpoint. The starting assumption is that we are evolved creatures that use cognition as a guide in dealing with the natural world, and that the natural ... Read more

  • Constructing the World

    by David J. Chalmers ...
    David Chalmers develops a picture of reality on which all truths can be derived from a limited class of basic truths. The picture is inspired by Rudolf Carnap's construction of the world in Der Logische Aufbau Der Welt. Carnap's Aufbau is often seen as a noble failure, but Chalmers argues that a version of the project can succeed. With the right basic elements and the right derivation relation, we ... Read more

  • Being Realistic about Reasons

    by T. M. Scanlon ...
    T. M. Scanlon offers a qualified defense of normative cognitivism--the view that there are irreducibly normative truths about reasons for action. He responds to three familiar objections: that such truths would have troubling metaphysical implications; that we would have no way of knowing what they are; and that the role of reasons in motivating and explaining action could not be explained if ...

  • Expressivism, Pragmatism and Representationalism

    by Huw Price, Simon Blackburn, Robert Brandom, Paul Horwich, Michael Williams ...

In this volume Huw Price presents his distinctive version of this traditional combination, as delivered in his René Descartes Lectures at Tilburg University in 2008. Price contrasts his view with other ... Read more

  • Signals

    Evolution, Learning, and Information

    by Brian Skyrms ...
    Brian Skyrms presents a fascinating exploration of how fundamental signals are to our world.

  • Mere Possibilities

    Metaphysical Foundations of Modal Semantics

    by Robert Stalnaker ...
    Series series Carl G. Hempel Lecture Series
    It seems reasonable to believe that there might have existed things other than those that in fact exist, or have existed. But how should we understand such claims? Standard semantic theories exploit the Leibnizian metaphor of a set of all possible worlds: a proposition might or must be true if it is true in some or all possible worlds. The actualist, who believes that nothing exists except what ... Read more

  • The Inessential Indexical: On the Philosophical Insignificance of Perspective and the First Person

    On the Philosophical Insignificance of Perspective and the First Person

    by Herman Cappelen, Josh Dever ...
    Series series Context And Content
    When we represent the world in language, in thought, or in perception, we often represent it from a perspective. We say and think that the meeting is happening now, that it is hot here, that I am in danger and not you; that the tree looks larger from my perspective than from yours. The Inessential Indexical is an exploration and defense of the view that perspectivality is a philosophically shallow ... Read more

  • Meaning

    by Paul Horwich ...
    What is meaning? Paul Horwich presents an original philosophical theory, demonstrates its richness, and defends it against all comers. At the core of his theory is the idea, made famous by Wittgenstein, that the meaning of a word derives from its use; Horwich articulates this idea in a new way that will restore it to the prominence that it deserves. He surveys the diversity of valuable insights ... Read more
