Theoria, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This essay joins two themes, both arising from Kripke's inspiring ideas in the theory of reference. The first theme concerns reference in general. The second examines the notion of co‐reference and the role it plays in a unified theory of pronouns for natural language.

Theoria, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Contemporary epistemologists analysing knowledge take (true) propositions to be the object of knowledge. In this paper, I provide an argument for the claim that the object of knowledge is, in fact, the world. The propositions in propositional knowledge ascriptions merely describe the part of the world of which the subject is aware. Kent Bach's

Phenomenal knowledge and phenomenal causality
Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 1, Page 212-232, March 2026.Abstract There has been extensive debate over whether we can have phenomenal knowledge in the case of epiphenomenalism. This article aims to bring that debate to a close.

Findings have highlighted insufficient sleep during watchstanding but

Against the Manhattan project framing of AI alignment
Mind &Language, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 119-136, February 2026.In response to the worry that autonomous generally intelligent artificial agents may at some point take over control of human affairs a common suggestion is that we should “solve the alignment problem” for such agents. We show that current discourse around this suggestion often uses a particular framing of artificial intelligence (AI) alignment as ...
