Idle talk, untruth, and entities in Heidegger's Being and Time

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper advances a novel interpretation of Heidegger's conception of idle talk (Gerede) in Being and Time, foregrounding a largely neglected yet central feature and explicating its normative dimensions. I argue that idle talk can be understood only in light of its connection to untruth and coveredness (Verdecktheit), and that this ...

Ontic Structural Realism and Economics

Philosophy of Science, 2008
Ontic structural realism (OSR) is crucially motivated by empirical discoveries of fundamental physics. To this extent its potential to furnish a general metaphysics for science may appear limited. However, OSR also provides a good account of the progress that has been achieved over the decades in a formalized special science, economics.

Nature's Complexity Alive: Farewell to Several Unificatory Cosmological Arguments for Monism

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Throughout history, numerous thinkers have claimed that monism—in the form of priority monism, existence monism, monotheistic monism, or versions that posit an extra‐cosmic ultimate being—theoretically surpasses pluralism, above all by positing a unified universe.

Toxic utopia: Unseen ideology and “Le Politique” in China Miéville's The City & The City

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract What if ideology were not just hidden—but aesthetic? This article reads China Miéville's The City & The City not as a metaphor for division, but as a speculative blueprint for how politics operates through enforced invisibility. By threading Derrida's Absolute Other and Rancière's le politique through Miéville's uncanny urban layering, we ...

Difference‐Making Under Metaphysical Indeterminacy

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many of the most pressing moral problems we face involve collective harms generated by large numbers of individually insignificant actions. Unlike triggering cases—where a threshold exists such that a single act could be decisive—non‐triggering cases lack any such sharp cutoff.

Algorithmic AI Consciousness

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, I argue that the thoroughly algorithmic nature of current AI systems (such as LLMs) is no obstacle to their being conscious, despite strong apparent reasons to the contrary. To this end, I present a picture on which algorithmic AI systems comprise dispositional properties that realize categorical phenomenal properties where the ...
