One might think Hubble’s observation suggests that the focal point of the universe’s expansion must be some- where near the earth, and therefore that the universe is not the same from any point of view. To avoid...

For example, Leibniz’s law—the principle that if x = y then whatever is true of x is true of y—can fail when talking about beliefs and desires.

(1970) he uses the irreducibility of the mental...

Much of the contemporary work in deontic logic has been inspired by the deontic paradoxes, a collection of puzzle cases that have seemed to highlight deficiencies in the standard system.

*fatalism—the attitude that it makes no difference what we do because the future is unaffected by our present. The best examples of *determin- ism, or the lack of it, are found in the theories of physics.

object, which could be inferred from the properties of the parts.. However, an emergentist view of mentality is still influential, and survives in the doctrine of non-reductive *physicalism, a leading position on the *mind–body problem, according to which psychological characteristics, although they occur only under appropriate physical–biological conditions, are irreducibly distinct from them. The ultimate coherence of the notion of...

There he maintained that reason, in the service of the supreme value of bodily security, dictates obedience to an unlimited sovereign.

knowledge and intelligence in the individual. The first instance of such a philosophical theory, only partially successful, is to be found in the last chapter of Aristotle’s Posterior Analytics and is a response to an argument in Plato’s Meno that *learning and the acquisition of new knowledge is. It has been a major interest of many philosophers almost from the...

So although these practical undertakings manifest an existential concern with the world, Heidegger argues that they do not arise from the will if that is conceived in terms of the self-conscious adoption of a project. Thus Heidegger’s account of the existential structure of human life is basically worked out at an un- self-conscious level, which is also fundamental to the...

The ethics of the family concerns, first, problems within a family, such as the extent to which children should be allowed to make their own decisions, and how far parents should be held responsible for their children’s behaviour, and secondly, problems about the family, such as what constitutes a family, and how far a family unit should be kept together...

The second proposition, that the non-I is determined by the I, gives rise to the practical Wissenschaftslehre, and this is, for Fichte, crucial to the I’s construction of the world..

It appears that Plato was led to the theory in the first place by con- sidering such types as the type of person who is virtuous, but he then extended it to many other types.

He sought to recover an authentic version of Thomism which he understood to focus on the primacy of existence in the account of being. Sometimes, the sceptic’s claims have been said to be incoherent in the sense that to be true, or even to make sense at all, they require assumptions which make them false. Alternatively, the claims have been...

Goodman’s *nominal- ism is sometimes described as a rejection of classes, but may best be summed up in his words: ‘the nominalist rec- ognizes no distinction of entities without a distinction of content’. Such a view is of course compatible with a concern about the conse- quences of action—but only so long as the supreme value of the good will...
