Enthymemes: From Reconstruction to Understanding [PDF]

Argumentation, 2011
Traditionally, an enthymeme is an incomplete argument, made so by the absence of one or more of its constituent statements. An enthymeme resolution strategy is a set of procedures for finding those missing elements, thus reconstructing the enthymemes and restoring its meaning.

(In defence of) preservationism and the previous awareness condition: What is a theory of remembering, anyway?

Philosophical Perspectives, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 290-307, December 2023., 2023
Abstract I suggest that the theories of remembering one finds in the philosophy of memory literature are best characterised as theories principally operating at three different levels of inquiry. Simulationist views are theories of the psychofunctional process type remembering. Causalist views are theories of referential remembering.

A Bayesian interpretation of cross‐linguistic ambiguity tests

Mind &Language, Volume 38, Issue 3, Page 787-808, June 2023., 2023
Cross‐linguistic comparisons serve as empirical tests generating evidence for and against lexical ambiguity in words like “good”, “know”, “the”, “can”, and “may”. Critics question such comparisons' validity. This article examines how cross‐linguistic comparisons are treated as tests and shows that they have two predominant forms: one modeled on modus ...

L’inférence dans les romans judiciaires d’Émile Gaboriau

Orbis Litterarum, Volume 77, Issue 6, Page 386-404, December 2022., 2022
Résumé L’injection de l’heuristique dans le romanesque est loin d’être un recours littéraire nouveau. Un certain nombre de romanciers (tels Voltaire, Balzac, Bernanos, Robbe‐Grillet ou Butor) ne se sont pas privés d’y toucher. Ceci dit, ce sont notamment les écrivains attitrés du genre policier qui s’y sont spécialisés.

One philosopher's modus ponens is another's modus tollens: Pantomemes and nisowir

Metaphilosophy, Volume 53, Issue 2-3, Page 284-304, April 2022., 2022
That one person's modus ponens is another's modus tollens is the bane of philosophy because it strips many philosophical arguments of their persuasive force. The problem is that philosophical arguments become mere pantomemes: arguments that are reasonable to resist simply by denying the conclusion.

Generics and the metaphysics of kinds

Philosophy Compass, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2021., 2021
Abstract Recent years have seen renewed interest in the semantics of generics. And a relatively mainstream view in this work is that the semantics of generics must appeal to kinds. But what are kinds? Can we learn anything about their nature by looking at how semantic theories of generics appeal to them?

The Darwinian Rhetoric of Science in Petr Kropotkin's Mutual Aid. A Factor of Evolution (1902)

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 141-159, March 2020., 2020
Abstract The paper explores the significance of rhetorical argumentation in Petr Kropotkin's treatise Mutual Aid. A Factor of Evolution (1902). It argues that Kropotkin's work is steeped in the tradition of a rhetoric of science that is profoundly Darwinian and in which various forms of analogic reasoning play a central role.
