ABSTRACT Drawing on the contemporary taxonomy of the metaphysics of race, this paper shows that Kant's theory of race occupies a distinct metaphysical position on race. Second, it argues that Kant's metaphysics of race inherently produces racist claims.

Deflationism, realism, and fictionalism

Mind &Language, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 526-530, September 2026.
Frances Egan's Deflating mental representation gives a forceful defence of deflationism about mental representation. Deflationism is a form of selective realism: It is realist about vehicles of mental representation, but not contents. In this commentary, I will argue that deflationism is unstable.

Restricted deflationism: Why the deflationist project needs at least a little bit of intentionality

Mind &Language, Volume 41, Issue 4, Page 531-540, September 2026.
Frances Egan argues for a deflationist view of intentionality, on which intentionality is merely part of a pragmatically motivated explanatory “gloss” on theories of mind and behavior. While sympathetic to the project, I worry that the view is inadvertently committed to genuine intentionality: For intentionality to be a mere pragmatically motivated ...

A Flaw in Sider's Vagueness Argument for Perdurantism: Endurantism Endures

Analytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 262-267, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Sider's vagueness argument for perdurantism (2001: 126ff.) has long been seen as one of the most powerful, or perhaps the most powerful, in the perdurantist's arsenal.

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Volume 113, Issue 2, Page 441-452, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Some philosophers argue that near‐term artificial intelligence (AI) systems might soon be welfare subjects. We should take AI welfare seriously, they urge, because AI systems might soon have properties indicated by our best scientific theories of consciousness, and consciousness suffices for welfare subjectivity.

A Second‐Order Moral Twin‐Earth

Ratio, Volume 39, Issue 3, Page 150-157, September 2026.
ABSTRACT How to understand metaphysical disputes is a disputed matter. Within this broader dispute, deflationist approaches read some of the traditional metaphysical debates as having metalinguistic negotiations at their roots. That is, some metaphysical disagreements are read as speakers commending each other to use some concepts over others ...
