Moore’s Paradox, Truth and Accuracy
Acta Analytica - Tập 26 - Trang 243-255 - 2010
G. E. Moore famously observed that to assert ‘I went to the pictures last
Tuesday but I do not believe that I did’ would be ‘absurd’. Moore calls it a
‘paradox’ that this absurdity persists despite the fact that what I say about
myself might be true. Krista Lawlor and John Perry have proposed an explanation
of the absurdity that confines itself to semantic notions while eschewing
pragmatic ones. W...
Impossibilia and Modally Tensed Predication
Acta Analytica - Tập 30 - Trang 317-323 - 2015
Mark Jago’s four arguments against Takashi Yagisawa’s extended modal realism are
examined and shown to be ineffective. Yagisawa’s device of modal tense renders
three of Jago’s arguments harmless, and the correct understanding of
predications of modal properties of world stages blocks the fourth one.
Vagueness, ignorance, and margins for error
Acta Analytica - Tập 17 - Trang 19-45 - 2002
We argue that the epistemic theory of vagueness cannot adequately justify its
key tenet-that vague predicates have precisely bounded extensions, of which we
are necessarily ignorant. Nor can the theory adequately account for our
ignorance of the truth values of borderline cases. Furthermore, we argue that
Williamson’s promising attempt to explicate our understanding of vague language
on the model ...
Hallucinatory Pictures
Acta Analytica - Tập 25 - Trang 365-368 - 2010
Hallucinatory pictures are yet to be found picture-like artifacts that induce a
hallucination of their content that cannot be intuitively explained by a look at
the structure of the pictorial vehicle. Different accounts of depiction make
different predictions about the possibility that such artifacts be considered as
pictures. Some cases are presented that point towards the intuitive
acceptability...
I Can Trust You Now … But Not Later: An Explanation of Testimonial Knowledge in Children
Acta Analytica - Tập 25 - Trang 195-214 - 2010
Children learn and come to know things about the world at a very young age
through the testimony of their caregivers. The challenge comes in explaining how
children acquire such knowledge. Since children indiscriminately receive
testimony, their testimony-based beliefs seem unreliable, and, consequently,
should fail to qualify as knowledge. In this paper I discuss some attempted
explanations by Sa...
Can Concepts Ground Apriori Knowledge? Peacocke’s Referential Turn and its Challenges
Acta Analytica - Tập 23 - Trang 233-256 - 2008
The paper is a critical examination of Peacocke’s pioneering work on concepts as
grounding the possibility of a priori knowledge. It focuses upon his more recent
turn to reference and referential domain, and the two enlargements of the purely
conceptual bases for apriority, namely appeal to conceptions and to direct
referential sensitivity. I argue that the two are needed, but they produce more
pr...
On the Coherence of Wittgensteinian Constructivism
Acta Analytica - Tập 31 Số 4 - Trang 455-462 - 2016
Musical Ontology and the Question of Persistence
Acta Analytica - Tập 35 - Trang 213-227 - 2019
According to certain models of the musical work-performance relationship,
musical works persist through time. Dodd and Thomasson argue that perdurantist
accounts of musical persistence—according to which musical works persist by
having temporal parts at every time they exist—are untenable, and Tillman argues
that musical endurantism—according to which persisting works are wholly present
at each ti...
