NEW DIRECTIONS IN LEGAL EXPRESSIVISM [PDF]

, 2016
Numerous legal scholars have adopted the view that H. L. A. Hart offered an expressivist (or at least proto-expressivist) account of legal discourse. But philosophers of law have given comparatively little attention to the prospect of developing newer ...

European Journal of Analytic Philosophy
In this paper, using Mark Schroeder’s (2008a) expressivist semantic framework for normative language as a case study, I will identify difficulties that even an expressivist semantic theory capable of addressing the Frege-Geach problem will encounter in ...

Model‐Based Semantics: Doing Without Meaning Constitution

Metaphilosophy, Volume 57, Issue 1-2, Page 103-118, January 2026.
Abstract This paper introduces a model‐based account of meaning, arguing that meaning properties reside in models rather than in the external world.

Expressing What You Say: Neo‐Expressivism and the Matching Question

Theoria, Volume 91, Issue 5, October 2025.
ABSTRACT It is often appropriate to defer to one another when we ascribe mental states to ourselves in the present tense, even when these self‐ascriptions are evidentially unsupported. One way to explain this ‘first‐person authority’ is in terms of what such self‐ascriptions express.

Towards a Fregean psycholinguistics

Analytic Philosophy, Volume 66, Issue 3, Page 349-371, September 2025.
Abstract This paper is partly exegetical, partly systematic. I argue that Frege's account of what he called “colouring” contains some important insights on how communication is related to mental states such as mental images or emotions. I also show that the Fregean perspective is supported by current research in psycholinguistics and that a full ...

Is it moral to punish a criminal both during his lifetime and posthumously?

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, Volume 63, Issue 3, Page 330-339, September 2025.
Abstract We seek to probe into the question of whether it is moral to administer a punishment on a criminal both in his lifetime and posthumously. Is it moral to punish a murderer both during his lifetime by sentencing him, for instance, to life imprisonment, and posthumously—let us assume—by burial in a separate section of the cemetery exclusively ...
