Philosophia (United States) - Tập 17 - Trang 271-295 - 1987
Is it Good to Conceive of One’s Life Narratively?Abstract Grace Hibshman has developed a new explanation for why narrative self-conceptions might contribute to one’s flourishing: conceiving of one’s life narratively, she argues, can facilitate an improved self-understanding. In this short paper, we argue that, pace Hibshman, life narratives tend to misrepresent and mislead. So while they... ...

Hitchcock and Sober on Weak Predictivism
Philosophia (United States) - Tập 40 - Trang 553-562 - 2011
According to Hitchcock and Sober’s argument from overfitting for weak predictivism, the fact that a theory accurately predicts a portion of its data is evidence that it has been formulated by balancing simplicity and goodness-of-fit rather than overfitting data. The core argument consists of two likelihood inequalities. In this paper I show that there is a surprising accommodation-friendly implica......
A New Societal Self-Defense Theory of Punishment—The Rights-Protection Theory
Philosophia (United States) - Tập 46 - Trang 337-353 - 2017
In this paper, I propose a new self-defense theory of punishment, the rights-protection theory. By appealing to the interest theory of right, I show that what we call “the right of self-defense” is actually composed of the right(s) to protect our basic rights. The right of self-defense is not a single, self-standing right but a group of derivative rights justified by their contribution to the prot......

Sellarsian Behaviorism, Davidsonian Interpretivism, and First Person Authority
Philosophia (United States) - Tập 42 - Trang 433-456 - 2013
Roughly, behaviorist accounts of self-knowledge hold that first persons acquire knowledge of their own minds in just the same way other persons do: by means of behavioral evidence. One obvious problem for such accounts is that the fail to explain the great asymmetry between the authority of first person as opposed to other person attributions of thoughts and other mental states and events. Another......
Cruelty, Singular Individuality, and Peter the Great
Philosophia (United States) - Tập 43 - Trang 337-354 - 2015
In discussing cruelty toward human beings, I argue that disregarding the singularity of any human being is necessary for treating her or him cruelly. The cruelty of Peter the Great, relying upon the intolerance of any human singular individuality, serves me as a paradigm-case to illustrate that. The cruelty of Procrustes and that of Stalin rely upon similar grounds. Relating to a person’s singular......
Actualism Doesn’t Have Control Issues: A Reply to Cohen and Timmerman
Philosophia (United States) - Tập 47 - Trang 271-277 - 2018
Recently, Cohen and Timmerman (Journal of Ethics & Social Philosophy, 10(3), 1–18, 2016) argue that actualism has control issues. The view should be rejected, they claim, as it recognizes a morally irrelevant distinction between counterfactuals over which agents exercise the same kind of control. Here we reply on behalf of actualism.
Kantian Constructivism and the Moral Problem
Philosophia (United States) - Tập 44 - Trang 1229-1246 - 2016
According to the standard objection, Kantian constructivism implicitly commits to value realism or fails to warrant objective validity of normative propositions. This paper argues that this objection gains some force from the special case of moral obligations. The case largely rests on the assumption that the moral domain is an eminent domain of special objects. But for constructivism there is no ......
