From Moral Supervenience to Moral Contingentism (In One Easy Step!)

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT According to the Divide & Conquer (DC) strategy (Fogal and Risberg 2020) for explaining moral supervenience, the modal covariation between moral and natural properties can be partly explained by appeal to pure moral principles. Bhogal (2022) has recently argued that DC fails.

Simulations All the Way Up! An Atheist's Response to the Fine‐Tuning Argument

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT So the Fine‐tuning Argument goes, because it is so unlikely for the physical constants of the laws of nature to have taken the values that they in fact take, we should significantly raise our credence that God exists.

The Shared Life

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are social animals that seek to live a life that is, in some sense, shared with others. But what exactly do we want in wanting to live a shared life?

Modal Logic and Modal Metaphysics: An Avicennian Division of Labour

Theoria, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper argues that Avicenna was both a necessitarian and a realist about contingency.
