Collective (Telic) Virtue Epistemology [PDF]

open access: possible, 2022
A new way to transpose the virtue epistemologist’s ‘knowledge = apt belief’ template to the collective level, as a thesis about group knowledge, is developed. In particular, it is shown how specifically judgmental belief can be realised at the collective level in a way that is structurally analogous, on a telic theory of epistemic normativity (e.g ...

Abstract This chapter introduces a newly identified form of power: telic power. While deontic power is a key concept in social ontology, it is too narrow to capture a central dimension of the social world that is exemplified by certain aspects of gender and class.

The Origins of Telicity

1998
The distinction between telic and atelic predicates has been described in terms of the algebraic properties of their meaning since the early days of model-theoretic semantics. This perspective was inspired by Aristotle’s discussion of types of actions that do or do not take time to be completed which was taken up and turned into a linguistic discussion

Elucidation of a telic infinitive

Journal of Linguistics, 2001
In this paper, I consider the semantics of a modifier infinitive in English, related to the more widely discussed Rationale Clause (see especially Faraci 1974, Jones 1991). I argue that the semantics of this infinitive (a Telic Clause) derives from the properties of the predicate which heads it (TELOS).

Telicity and incremental theme

Russian Linguistics, 2008
The paper deals with the notion of INCREMENTAL THEME and problems connected with the telicity/atelicity of Russian verbs and verb phrases (VPs). Verbs cannot be classified as telic or atelic once and for all—telicity must be determined on the level of a VP. The notion of incremental theme provides simple rules of ASPECTUAL COMPOSITION.
