Modern Theology, EarlyView.Abstract Examining work by Rowan Williams, this essay explores what he often refers to as the ‘difficulty’ of writing theology.

In this paper, I use the notion of Morita equivalence to show in which precise sense, McCall and Lowe's ...

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Ted Sider defends mereological nihilism against the possibility of gunk. He argues that if we accept modal Humeanism, then the possibility of gunk poses no threat to nihilism.

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We impose our minds onto the world. We create artifacts that reflect our intentions to make them. We make social constructions that mirror our collective agreements. We impress value by our valuing. Discomfort with this power to mold the world in our image has led many to reject such mirroring of mind by world, but this would do away with much

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT It is generally assumed that an ordinary human brain is associated with a single mind. Indeed, this assumption is so deeply rooted that it is rarely articulated explicitly, let alone questioned.

Ratio, EarlyView.ABSTRACT How to understand metaphysical disputes is a disputed matter. Within this broader dispute, deflationist approaches read some of the traditional metaphysical debates as having metalinguistic negotiations at their roots. That is, some metaphysical disagreements are read as speakers commending each other to use some concepts over others ...

Anselm's Temporal‐Ontological Proof
Noûs, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 645-660, September 2026.ABSTRACT In his Reply to Gaunilo, Anselm presented two additional arguments for the existence of God beyond those that appear in the Proslogion. In “The Logical Structure of Anselm's Argument,” Robert M. Adams isolates each. One, he develops into a modal ontological argument along the lines of other 20th century ontological arguments (e.g., those of ...

A Flaw in Sider's Vagueness Argument for Perdurantism: Endurantism Endures
Analytic Philosophy, Volume 67, Issue 3, Page 262-267, September 2026.ABSTRACT Sider's vagueness argument for perdurantism (2001: 126ff.) has long been seen as one of the most powerful, or perhaps the most powerful, in the perdurantist's arsenal. In its absence, the case against endurantism is significantly weakened. Despite its age, there is still no generally agreed view on its worth.
