McGee's Counterexample to the Ramsey Test
, 2017 Vann McGee has proposed a counterexample to the Ramsey Test. In the counterexample, a seemingly trustworthy source has testified that p and that if not-p, then q. If one subsequently learns not-p (and so learns that the source is wrong about p), then one

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Merleau‐Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception (2012 [1945]) opens with a detailed critique of traditional philosophical accounts of sensation, generally understood as having Husserl's “content‐apprehension schema” among its targets. The schema sees perception as resulting from the interpretation (“apprehension” or “apperception”) of “raw ...

A counterexample to sparse removal
European Journal of Combinatorics, 2015 The Turán number of a graph $H$, denoted $\mbox{ex}(n,H)$, is the maximum number of edges in an $n$-vertex graph with no subgraph isomorphic to $H$. Solymosi conjectured that if $H$ is any graph and $\mbox{ex}(n,H) = O(n^α)$ where $α> 1$, then any $n$-vertex graph with the property that each edge lies in exactly one copy of $H$ has $o(n^α)$ edges ...

Action in Unison: A Phenomenological Account of Collective Agency in Group Flow States
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Recently, there has been a burgeoning interest in the so‐called group flow state both in positive psychology and in the phenomenology of collective agency. Group flow is a form of collective agency in which agents experience a sense of intensified efficacy coupled with diminished individual ownership of action and heightened shared ownership ...

Against Artifactual Epistemic Privilege
Crítica, 2018 The deep intentional roots of artifacts and artifactual kinds seem to give intuitive as well as philosophical support to a form of epistemic privilege for makers regarding the objects they create.

Trapped in the Cave: Toward a Platonic Theory of Ideology
European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract This paper is about showing that Plato has a theory of ideology in the broadly Marxist sense of distorted self‐consciousness of social life. Focusing on the Allegory of the Cave and related passages in the Republic, the paper argues that in the Cave, Plato illustrates the social mediation of human psychology, which contributes to the soul's ...

Counterexample-Preserving Reduction for Symbolic Model Checking
Journal of Applied Mathematics, 2014 The cost of LTL model checking is highly sensitive to the length of the formula under verification. We observe that, under some specific conditions, the input LTL formula can be reduced to an easier-to-handle one before model checking. In such reduction,
