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 ...

Which Thoughts Require Sensory Capacities?
Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Is it possible that something—say, an alien, an angel, or an artificial system—thinks without having or ever having had any sensory capacity?

Understanding and truth in Hannah Arendt: The critical reception of the Eichmann trial and the will
The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract This article highlights a shift in Hannah Arendt's intellectual development regarding the will during the 1960s, traced into the early 1970s when she focused on thinking, willing, and judging. I argue that this change was driven by reactions to her report on Adolf Eichmann's 1961 trial in Eichmann in Jerusalem (1963).
