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
An influential thesis in contemporary philosophy of mind is that subjectivity is
best conceived as inner awareness of qualia. (Purple Haze: The Puzzle of
Consciousness. 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 S...
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 Votes
Topoi - - 2023
AbstractWe 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 reasons helps
answering two questio...
