Epistemic Modalities

open access: yes, 2009
I present an analysis of the notion of epistemic modalities, based on an appropriate interpretation of two basic constructivist issues: verification and epistemic agency. Starting from an historical analysis of conditions for judgments, I analyze first the reading of necessity with respect to apodictic judgements, and then that of possibility with ...

Epistemic Modals in Context

open access: yes, 2005
Abstract In the 1970s David Lewis argued for a contextualist treatment of modals (Lewis, 1976, 1979a).

Epistemic Modality and Non-Epistemic Modality in Modal Auxiliaries

open access: yesEpistemic Modality and Non-Epistemic Modality in Modal Auxiliaries
私達が発話をする際には、概ね、聞き手に対して何らかの影響を与えようとしていると言って良いが、それは、しばしば聞き手にとって直接的過ぎたり、話者の主観的な振る舞いをしている。それらの陳述緩和の作用を果たす要素の一つが法助動詞の使用である。本論文においては、法助動詞が特定のコンテクストにおいて、どのような役割を果たしているのかを考察する。

A Case for Contingent Absurdity

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract A popular view on existential absurdity holds that if life is absurd, it must be inescapably so. In opposition to this view, I argue that the concept of existential absurdity allows for life to be contingently absurd. In Nausea (1938) and Being and Nothingness (1943), Jean‐Paul Sartre puts forward two distinct conceptions of an absurd life ...
