Abstract: Meinong’s object theory is thought by many to be inconsistent聽(or even trivial). Indeed, its most straightforward formalisation in聽second-order logic is. However, contemporary logicians have developed聽more subtle formalisations of Meinong’s ideas, the so-called聽neo-Meinongian logics, that are provably consistent. In this talk, I聽review two of the main approachs, Nuclear Meinongianism and Dual Copula聽Meinongianism, and I develop… |

Abstract. 鈥斅營n this paper I argue that聽concepts fall into distinct kinds according to such things as their direction of determination, their modal range, and the nature of their referents. Such properties determine a given concept’s eligibility for genuine revision.聽As a result, different kinds of concepts require different treatment in the context of conceptual engineering. Understanding… |

Title: ‘Being-in-the-Room: Epistemic Deference and Elite Capture’ Abstract: Standpoint epistemology refers to a set of contentions: that knowledge is socially situated, that marginalized people have some positional advantages in gaining some forms of knowledge, and that research programs ought to reflect these facts. These seem to me to be entirely unobjectionable, and indeed to follow…
