How to Think About Tacit (or Implicit) Beliefs

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper defends a novel theory of tacit belief (sometimes called “implicit belief”). After providing some background and taxonomy, I argue that dispositionalist theories of belief fail to provide a good account of tacit beliefs; this failure gives us a reason to reject those dispositionalist theories.

Valuings as Sentiments

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We are valuing beings, beings who possess the capacity to value things. But what is it “to value” something? The most common accounts in the literature hold that to value an item is either to have a first‐order or a second‐order desire toward it; or to believe that item to be valuable; or to care about that item; or to have a combination of ...

Guessing at Ghosts in the Machine

Ratio, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As AI grows ever more complex and ubiquitous, its moral status becomes increasingly pressing. But knowing whether an AI has moral status is only part of the ethical puzzle. To determine how we ought to treat such entities, we must know not only whether AIs have moral status, but also about the content of their interests—what contributes to ...

Hollow institutions: Merleau‐Ponty and the possibility of coordinated action

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract This article addresses the phenomenon of political powerlessness, understood—following Hannah Arendt—as the separation of “words and deeds,” a condition in which words become “empty” and actions lose their overall intelligibility, increasingly relying on coercion. I take up Merleau‐Ponty's phenomenology of institution to explore this condition.

Phenomenal Character, Representational Content, and the Internal Correlation of Experience

Epistemology & Philosophy of Science, 2015
Tracking representationalism is the theory that phenomenal consciousness is a matter of tracking physical properties in an appropriate way.

“The future of death in the present of love”: Eros as an ethical pas encore in Levinas's Totality and Infinity

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract This article reinterprets Levinas's account of ethical subjectivity by centering the temporality of the pas encore (“not yet”) and drawing on new materials in Œuvres complètes. I argue that, in Totality and Infinity, eros and ethics are internally continuous: eros generates a responsible not yet of time, secured by fecundity and oriented to ...
