Phronesis and Emotion: The Skill Model of Wisdom Developed
Topoi - - 2024
The skill model of wisdom argues that practical wisdom can be best understood in terms of practical skill or expertise, and the model is thought to have the characteristic of focusing on how wise people think rather than how wise people feel. However, from the perspective of Kunzmann and Glück, “it is time for an ‘emotional revolution’ in wisdom research, which will contribute to a more balanced v......
Evidence, Defeasibility, and Metaphors in Diagnosis and Diagnosis Communication
Topoi - Tập 40 - Trang 327-341 - 2020
The paper investigates the epistemological and communicative competences the experts need to use and communicate evidence in the reasoning process leading to diagnosis. The diagnosis and diagnosis communication are presented as intertwined processes that should be jointly addressed in medical consultations, to empower patients’ compliance in illness management. The paper presents defeasible reason......
Argumentation as a Speech Act: Two Levels of Analysis
Topoi - Tập 42 - Trang 481-494 - 2023
Following and extending Searle’s speech act theory, both Pragma-Dialectics and the Linguistic Normative Model of Argumentation characterize argumentation as an illocutionary act. In these models, the successful performance of an illocutionary act of arguing depends on the securing of uptake, an illocutionary effect that, according to the Searlean account, characterizes the successful performance o......
On the Moral Agency of Computers
Topoi - Tập 32 - Trang 227-236 - 2013
Can computer systems ever be considered moral agents? This paper considers two factors that are explored in the recent philosophical literature. First, there are the important domains in which computers are allowed to act, made possible by their greater functional capacities. Second, there is the claim that these functional capacities appear to embody relevant human abilities, such as autonomy and......
Bagpipe music
Topoi - Tập 25 - Trang 17-20 - 2006
Ancient philosophy is in a bad way. Like all other academic disciplines, it is crushed by the embrace of bureaucracy. Like other parts of philosophy, it is infected by faddishness. And in addition it suffers cruelly from the decline in classical philology. There is no cure for this disease.
Habit, Omission and Responsibility
Topoi - Tập 40 - Trang 695-705 - 2020
Given the pervasiveness of habit in human life, the distinctive problems posed by habitual acts for accounts of moral responsibility deserve more attention than they have hitherto received. But whereas it is hard to find a systematic treatment habitual acts within current accounts of moral responsibility, proponents of such accounts have turned their attention to a topic which, I suggest, is a clo......
“Don’t Let Your Mouth”: On Argumentative Smothering Within Academia
Topoi - Tập 40 - Trang 913-924 - 2021
Despite non/minimal adversarial feminist argumentation models heavily critiquing rude, hostile, uncooperative argumentative practices, I argue that these models slip easily into instances of ‘white talk’ when white individuals are engaged with BIPOC (Black Indigenous People of Color) on matters concerning racial injustices. While these models address overt aggression, a more nuanced modification i......
Carroll’s Infinite Regress and the Act of Diagramming
Topoi - Tập 38 - Trang 619-626 - 2017
The infinite regress of Carroll’s ‘What the Tortoise said to Achilles’ is interpreted as a problem in the epistemology of mathematical proof. An approach to the problem that is both diagrammatic and non-logical is presented with respect to a specific inference of elementary geometry.
