Naturalized knowledge‐first and the epistemology of groups
Abstract This paper commences by making a case for a naturalized approach to knowledge‐first epistemology. On this basis it then goes on to describe and defend a naturalized, functionalist account of group knowledge. It then contrasts this with Jennifer Lackey's (2021) account of the epistemological status of groups.

EPiC: A Four-Valued Evidential Constraint Calculus for First-Order Reasoning
This article introduces the Evidence Propagation Calculus (EPiC), an operational framework for first-order reasoning built on a simple but productive observation: familiar inference patterns such as Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens behave like the movement

When are Humans Reasoning with Modus Tollens?
Modus tollens is a rule of inference in classical, two-valued logic which allows to derive the negation of the antecedent from a conditional and the negation of its consequent. In this paper, we investigate when humans draw such conclusions and what modulates the application of modus tollens. We consider conditionals which may or may not be obligations

This paper is a critique of version three of Joonmo Kim's paper entitled "P is not equal to NP by Modus Tollens. [arXiv:1403.4143v3]" After summarizing Kim's proof, we note that the logic that Kim uses is inconsistent, which provides evidence that the proof is invalid.

Modus Ponens And Modus Tollens In Linguistic Truth-Valued Propositional Logic
Truth values of Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens rules for propositions having linguistic truth value that may be represented by lattice(Fig1, Fig2) are computed in this paper. The results show that the truth values are not always absolutely true but have graded truth values in some cases.

Scientific Realism and the Pessimistic Meta-Modus Tollens [PDF]
Broadly speaking, the contemporary scientific realist is concerned to justify belief in what we might call theoretical truth, which includes truth based on ampliative inference and truth about unobservables.1 Many, if not most, contemporary realists say scientific realism should be treated as ‘an overarching scientific hypothesis’ (Putnam 1978, p. 18).
