Alchourr'on's Defeasible Conditionals and Defeasible Reasoning

, 2007
this paper will be devoted to showing that Alchourr'on's defeasible conditionals are a cumbersome way to handle defeasibility: these conditionals hide defeasibility's essential procedural aspects, and relegate them to a mere clerical task ...

Questions Should Have Answers

European Journal of Philosophy, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 423-440, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Making sense of the world often requires one to come up with new ideas, including ideas one had previously been unable to think of. How and when should this be done? I propose and defend a norm of rationality linking wondering, belief, and abilities to conceive: one must not both wonder a question and reject all answers to it that one can ...

Progress, Objectivism, and Philosophy of History: The Problem of Progress in Critical Theory

European Journal of Philosophy, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 470-482, June 2026.
Abstract In this paper, I evaluate Rahel Jaeggi's theory of progress as outlined in her recent book Fortschritt und Regression. The central question of this paper will be whether Jaeggi's theory of progress in terms of an “accumulating problem‐solving process” can answer the critique of progress put forward by Amy Allen in The End of Progress.

Modelling defeasible reasoning by means of adaptive logic games

Can we repudiate ontology altogether?

Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 2, Page 264-292, June 2026.
Abstract Ontological nihilists repudiate ontology altogether, maintaining that ontological structure is an unnecessary addition to our theorizing. Recent defenses of the view involve a sophisticated combination of highly expressive but ontologically innocent languages combined with a metaphysics of features—non‐objectual, complete but modifiable states
