Ideal rationality and the relation between propositional and doxastic justificationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 1-16 - 2023
Bada Kim
In this paper, I explore how the ideal rationality-based account of propositional justification impacts our understanding of the relation between propositional and doxastic justification. The ideal rationality-based account sits uncomfortably with the widely accepted claim that propositional justification is necessary for doxastic justification. In particular, the combination of the necessity clai...... hiện toàn bộ
Constitution, evidence, and an argument for realism: responses to Bird’s Knowing ScienceSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 1-10 - 2023
Isaac Wilhelm
What sorts of aims, or goals, are constitutive of science? How does scientific evidence relate to the knowledge that science produces? And can the No Miracles Argument for scientific realism be defended against concerns about the explanatory capacity of truth? In Knowing Science, Bird engages with questions like these at length. In this paper, I engage with these questions too. I raise some concer...... hiện toàn bộ
Why FDE might be too strong for BeallSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-16 - 2024
Hitoshi Omori, Jonas R. B. Arenhart
In his “The simple argument for subclassical logic,” Jc Beall advances an argument that led him to take FDE as the one true logic (the latter point is explicitly made clear in his “FDE as the One True Logic”). The aim of this article is to point out that if we follow Beall’s line of reasoning for endorsing FDE, there are at least two additional reasons to consider that FDE is too strong for Beall’...... hiện toàn bộ
Does causation entail emptiness? On a point of dispute between Abhidharma and MadhyamakaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 1-18 - 2023
Jan Westerhoff
The aim of this paper is to assess the relation between causation and the notion of emptiness described in Buddhist philosophy. While the Madhyamaka school argues that some entity’s being caused implies its being empty, some contemporary authors have argued that there is a ‘Humean’ regularity account of causation that can both be understood as a plausible model of the earlier Buddhist Abhidharma a...... hiện toàn bộ

Incoherence, inquiry, and suspensionSpringer Science and Business Media LLC -
Conor McHugh
AbstractI consider two possible evidentialist responses to Schmidt. According to the first, all of the reason-giving work in the relevant cases is being done by evidence. According to the second, even if the ‘incoherence fact’ sometimes provides a reason, what it provides a reason for is not a doxastic attitude, or at least not one that is an alternative to belief....... hiện toàn bộ
Contradictory Christology: a conciliar concernSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 1-11 - 2023
Philip-Neri Reese
The purpose of this article is to express what I call a “conciliar concern” regarding Jc Beall’s recently proposed contradictory Christology. By “conciliar concern” I mean a concern that is likely to be shared by all Christians—be they Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant—who are committed to the early ecumenical councils. Formulated as an argument, the concern is this: if contradictory Christology i...... hiện toàn bộ
Truth and the way in XúnzǐSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 1-17 - 2023
Chris Fraser
This essay argues that the third-century BC Ruist “masters” text Xúnzǐ presents a sophisticated approach to semantics and epistemology in which a concern with truth is at best secondary, not central. Xúnzǐ’s primary concern is with identifying and applying the apt dào (way), which for him is a more fundamental concept that underwrites and explains truth claims. Dào refers to a way or path of perso...... hiện toàn bộ
