Physicalism, Truthmaking, and Levels of Reality: Prospects and Problems
Topoi - Tập 37 - Trang 473-482 - 2016
This paper considers the extent to which the notion of truthmaking can play a substantive role in defining physicalism. While a truthmaking-based approach to physicalism is prima facie attractive, there is some reason to doubt that truthmaking can do much work when it comes to understanding physicalism, and perhaps austere metaphysical frameworks in general. First, despite promising to dispense wi......
Schönberg’s Judaism from Notes to Thought and from Thought to Notes
Topoi - Tập 28 - Trang 129-136 - 2009
What concept of Judaism is present in Schönberg’s philosophy of music? It is impossible to separate the musical texture from his experience of reconciliation with Judaism, and his new idea of musical drama is a confirmation that the dodecaphonic structure of musical thinking connects with Schönberg’s idea of the Jewish ethical and religious point of view. A comparative analysis of some essays with......
What Subjectivity Is Not
Topoi - Tập 36 - Trang 41-53 - 2014

Oxford University Press, London, 2001) has argued that this unique subjective awareness generates a paradox which resists empirical explanation. On account of this “paradox of subjective duality,” Levine concludes that the hardest ......
Sheldon Smith on Newton’s Derivative: Retrospective Assignation, Externalism and the History of Mathematics
Topoi - Tập 42 - Trang 333-344 - 2023
To illustrate the view that a speaker can have a partial understanding of a concept, Burge uses the example of Leibniz’s and Newton’s understanding of the concept of derivative. In a recent article, Sheldon Smith criticizes this example and maintains that Newton’s and Leibniz’s use of their derivative symbols does not univocally determine their references. The present article aims at challenging ......
Good-Bye Ideology. Hello Performance
Topoi - Tập 30 - Trang 125-135 - 2011
This article looks at the practice of Fred Newman’s performance-based methodology—informed by the work of Marx, Vygotsky and Wittgenstein—in addressing the assumed gap between thinking and doing, reflection and activity, or to use Marx’s terms, interpretation and change. Changing the world involves mass activity. However, acting en masse has historically generated and depended upon ideology, which......
Loneliness as a Closure of the Affordance Space: The Case of COVID-19 Pandemic
Topoi - - Trang 1-13 - 2023
Since the beginning of the current COVID-19 pandemic, specialists were concerned about the potential detrimental effects of physical distancing measures on well-being. Loneliness has been underscored as one of the most critical ones given the wide range of mental and physical health problems associated with it. Unlike social isolation, loneliness does not depend on social network size, so it can b......
Arguing in Direct Democracy: An Argument Scheme for Proposing Reasons in Debates Surrounding Public VotesAbstract We develop a novel argument scheme tailored to debates surrounding public votes on a state action. It can be used to propose reasons for voting “yes” or “no” and allows for natural reconstructions of such debates. These reconstructions are of particular use to voters trying to weigh the pros and cons of the proposed state action. The scheme for proposing re... ...
