Jacques Maritain, Maurice Blondel, and the Ends of Art

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article reconsiders Jacques Maritain's philosophical poetics by situating it within his longstanding debate with Maurice Blondel over the nature and unity of intellect. I argue that Maritain's influential defence of artistic autonomy, first articulated in Art et scolastique (1920), is ultimately unsound.

The Form of Agency

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Philosophers often think agency is essentially connected with rationality, intention, or control.

Animal Logic: Locke and the Nature of Inference

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Can animals reason? If so, what would their reasoning consist in, and how, if at all, would it differ from its human counterpart? On these questions, John Locke stakes out a position that also merits consideration today.

External‐World Skepticism and the New Ethics of Belief

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT External‐world skepticism challenges, among other things, the epistemic credentials of beliefs about other people. Some external‐world skeptics deny that I know my loved ones exist; some claim that my belief that my loved ones exist is epistemically impermissible. However, abandoning this belief would be highly unattractive.
