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......
