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.

Speaking for Dionysus: Empathy and choral advocacy in Aristotle and Nietzsche

Orbis Litterarum, EarlyView.
Abstract This essay argues for an abiding connection between empathy and advocacy by revealing their unrecognized parallels in Aristotle and Nietzsche. The argument makes three new claims.

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT What is the temporal structure of conscious experience? While it is popular to think that our most basic conscious experiences are temporally extended, we will be arguing against this view, on the grounds that it makes our conscious experiences depend on the future in an implausible way.

How Theists Can Answer the “Why be Moral?” Question: An Indirect Reason‐Generation Account

Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In this paper, I give a new type of theistic answer to the “Why be moral?” question. After briefly clarifying the version of the question I'm concerned with, as well as extant theistic answers to the question, I argue for a new kind of answer. Roughly, while on standard answers, future (post death) benefits directly generate present reason to ...

ABSTRACT Joint inquiry requires agents to exchange public content about some target domain, which in turn requires them to track which content a linguistic form contributes to a conversation. But, often, the inquiry delivers a necessary truth. For example, if we are inquiring whether a particular bird, Tweety, is a woodpecker, and discover that it is ...
