Creativity and Embodied Knowledge in Nicholas of Cusa's De mente (1450)

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract This article aims to nuance the widespread view that embodied experience plays a secondary role in the acquisition of human knowledge in Nicholas of Cusa's thought. With a focus on De mente (1450), I contend that the body is not limited to being a necessary stimulus to provoke the mind's activity, but rather that finite, material experience ...

Animal Logic: Locke and the Nature of Inference

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Can animals reason? If so, what would their reasoning consist in, and how, if at all, would it differ from its human counterpart? On these questions, John Locke stakes out a position that also merits consideration today. I argue that, for Locke, reasoning is a matter of the subject's construing her mental states as support for a conclusion ...

What's in a Promise?

Noûs, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Many, perhaps even most, philosophers hold that, in order to promise someone something, the promisor must intend to communicate what they are promising.

Philosophy &Public Affairs, EarlyView.

Pulling Down the Hierarchy

Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper is about the hierarchy view: that each word has infinitely many meanings, arranged into levels, with the level n meaning serving as its semantic value when it occurs embedded to degree n in indirect or attitude reporting verbs. Departing from the famous debates over the bare tenability of the hierarchy view, I focus on whether there
