epistemology

Precis and contents of Bounded Thinking: epistemic virtues for limited agents  OUP, to appear.   Analytical epistemology marries descriptive decision theory and their offspring solves problems of bounded cognition.  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Accomplishing Accomplishment (Acta Analytica 2011)  A radical symmetry between belief and action. (pdf) 

Human Bounds (Synthese 2010 - issue on bounded rationality). Why giving advice about coping with our limits is different from finding the best ways of coping with them. (word)

Knowing what to think about: when epistemology meets the theory of choice  in Epistemology Futures, edited by Stephen Hetherington, Oxford University Press. (pdf) 

If you’re so smart why are you ignorant  (Analysis, 2002)   Epistemic analogs of  causal decision theory, even of Newcomb’s paradox. (html)

Epistemic virtues, metavirtues, and computational complexity (Nous 38, 2004) When we consider limitations on our ability to think we find reasons for describing ourselves in terms of cognitive virtues instead of justified beliefs. (html)

Contrastive Knowledge (Philosophical Explorations, May 2003). Conjectural article on knowledge (with Antti Karjalainen): often instead of the puzzling concept "a knows that p" we can use the less troubling "a knows that p rather than q".  (html)

Contrastivity and indistinguishability  (Social Epistemology 2008) Contrastive attitudes in general

Saving epistemology from the epistemologists (British J. for the Phil. of Science, 1999) survey article (html)  

review of John Hawthorne Knowledge and Lotteries   Philosophical Quarterly 2005 (html) 

review of Ernest Sosa Knowing Full Well.  Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews 2011 (link)

emotions

Beware Stories (in Peter Goldie, ed. Understanding Emotions Ashgate 2001) Emotions are closely related to virtues, but there are important contrasts between them. (html)

Emotional Accuracy  (half of a Joint Session symposium, summer 2002,  with Ronald deSousa).  Emotions are not true or false, but they can be accurate or inaccurate with respect to the situations that occasion them. (html)

Imagination and misimagination (in Shaun Nichols, ed. The Architecture of the Imagination: New Essays on Pretence, Possibility, and Fiction, Oxford University Press 2006.)  The concept of imaginative perspective is essential to understanding the difference between accurate imagination of another person and misimagination.  Fiction often encourages misimagination. When we imagine imagining we have a greater chance of accuracy. (pdf)

 Empathy for the devil (in Peter Goldie and Amy Coplan, eds. Empathy.Philosophical and Psychological Perspectives) How we can imagine evil actions, and why decent people find it difficult. (Word) 

review of Ronald de Sousa Emotional Truth (Philosophical Quarterly 2011)  (pdf) 


philosophy of mind

But are they right? The prospects for empirical conceptology   A commentary on papers in a XPhi issue of the Journal of Cognition and Culture  (pdf)

folk psychology does not exist  (in D. Hutto & M. Ratcliffe eds Folk Psychology Reassessed) So have I been working on a myth, all these years?  (pdf)  

From tracking relations to propositional attitudes  European Journal of Analytic Philosophy 2009.  Propositional attitudes may not be basic in our concept of mind. (pdf)

other

Gibbard's principle of commitment   (unpublished)  a note criticising the central move of Allan Gibbard's Thinking how to Live.  (pdf)

Felosophy    Cat philosophy!  (html)

Philosophy as engineering  (from Mo Bou, ed. Two Roads to Wisdom?  (html)

Mathematical modelling and contrastive explanation (CJP supp vol 16, 1990: hard to find in libraries)   (html)

Disasters and Dilemmas  (book: out of print)


ethics  

Moral incompetence (in Values and Virtues, edited by T.J. Chappell.)  Often good people produce terrible results, and one reason is moral incompetence. (pdf)

The disunity of the moral  Morality is many different things. (html)

Bad versus evil  Some of the conclusions of my book On Evil( html) 

Good neighbours and moral heroes  (in Pedro Tabensky, ed. The positive function of evil) There is no such thing as an all-round good person, because the perfect neighbour may not be what you need in a real crisis. (pdf)

language

Against the Ramsey Test (Analysis, October 2004)  We don't evaluate indicative conditionals in terms of conditional probability.  (pdf)    

Indicative versus subjunctive in future conditionals  (Analysis, October 2004)  There are both indicative and subjunctive future-tense conditionals.  And moreover sometimes the same words can be used to express both.  (pdf)

Suppose, suppose (Analysis, 1993)  Discusses the embedding of one conditional in another, a topic relevant to issues about conditional probability, risk-taking, and indicative versus subjunctive conditionals.

Where demonstratives meet vagueness  A longer version of my Aristotelian Society presidential address, expanding somewhat on an unorthodox line.  This paper defends two unpopular views. (a) there are deep connections between vagueness and demonstratives, and (b) we can clarify some basic aspects of language by considering invented natural languages. (html)

Mathematics as language (in Benacerraf and his Critics, Blackwell 1996) Another experimental piece exploring the idea that we can learn something about how we understand language by considering our grasp of the non-natural symbol systems used in mathematics. (Word)
