Agnosticism about artificial consciousness
Mind &Language, EarlyView.Could an AI have conscious experiences? Answers to this question should be based not on intuition, dogma or speculation but on solid scientific evidence. However, I argue such evidence is hard to come by and that the only justifiable stance is agnosticism.

Error detection is not necessary for representation
Mind &Language, EarlyView.Some philosophers have recently proposed an error detection condition (EDC) for representation, such that for R$$ R $$ to be a representation for system S$$ S $$, S$$ S $$ must be capable of detecting errors in tokenings of R$$ R $$. We argue that this condition is unmotivated, and that it is too strong. We show that theories of representation that are

How generics obscure the logic of conditionals
Mind &Language, EarlyView.This paper discusses counter‐examples to modus ponens and modus tollens involving modals and quantificational adverbs, and presents new counter‐examples with generic conditionals. We argue that the counter‐examples are spurious, and are explained by the domain‐restricting effects of if‐clauses.

Embedding mental files in the world
Mind &Language, EarlyView.Cognitive scientific explanations can take either a mechanistic or design perspective. Some recent philosophical works propose to apply the mechanistic perspective to the influential mental file framework. The design perspective, however, remains underexplored.
