Faith And Disbelief, Robert K. Whitaker
Faith And Disbelief, Robert K. Whitaker
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Is faith that p compatible with disbelief that p? I argue that it is. After surveying some recent literature on the compatibility of propositional (so-called faith-that) and non-propositional (faith-in) forms of faith with the lack of belief, I take the next step and offer several arguments for the thesis that both these forms of faith are also compatible, in certain cases, with outright disbelief. This is contrary to the views of some significant recent commentators on propositional faith, including Robert Audi and Daniel Howard-Snyder. The primary argument revolves around the possibility of maintaining a single faith through drastic changes in …
What Does It Mean To Move For Black Lives?, Kimberly Ann Harris
What Does It Mean To Move For Black Lives?, Kimberly Ann Harris
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
I argue that the key ideas of the movement for Black lives have resonances with Frantz Fanon's ideas particularly in Black Skin, White Masks. I first demonstrate how the mission to repudiate Black demise and affirm Black humanity captures Fanon's critique of universal humanism. The fear of the Black body was central to the testimonies of Darren Wilson, Jeronimo Yanez, and George Zimmerman (the individuals that shot and killed Mike Brown, Philando Castile, and Trayvon Martin respectively). Fanon prioritized the role of the body in his account of racism. It is difficult to not see the relevance of Fanon's analysis …

Self-Control And Moral Security, Jeanette Kennett, Jessica Wolfendale
Self-Control And Moral Security, Jeanette Kennett, Jessica Wolfendale
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Self-control is integral to successful human agency. But the capacity for self-control requires external support. This paper explores the connections between social conditions, self-control, agency, and the self. Part one offers a taxonomy of self-control. Part two examines the external conditions that support successful agency and self-control, and argues that moral security is a critical foundation for agency. Moral security refers to the degree to which an agent believes that her welfare and her projects are valued by others and by her society. Parts three and four explore how narratives about racism and poverty undermine moral security, and limit and …

Religious F Aith In The Unjust Meantime: The Spiritual Violence Of Clergy Sexual Abuse, Theresa Weynand Tobin
Religious F Aith In The Unjust Meantime: The Spiritual Violence Of Clergy Sexual Abuse, Theresa Weynand Tobin
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Clergy sexual abuse is both sexual and psychological violence, but it is also a paradigmatic case of spiritual violence that rises to the level of religious trauma. In this paper I argue that the spiritual violence of clergy sexual abuse diminishes, and in some cases may even destroy, a survivor’s capacities for religious faith or other forms of spiritual engagement. I use and illustrate the value of feminist methodology, as developed and advanced by Alison Jaggar, for generating and pursuing philosophical questions about religious experience. Feminist methodology’s sensitivity to theorizing situated subjects who stand to each other in relations of …

Racism As Self-Love, Grant J. Silva
Racism As Self-Love, Grant J. Silva
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
In the United States today, much interpersonal racism is driven by corrupt forms of self-preservation. Drawing from Jean-Jacques Rousseau, I refer to this as self-love racism. The byproduct of socially-induced racial anxieties and perceived threats to one’s physical or social wellbeing, self-love racism is the protective attachment to the racialized dimensions of one’s social status, wealth, privilege, and/or identity. Examples include police officer related shootings of unarmed Black Americans, anti-immigrant sentiment, and the resurgence of unabashed white supremacy. This form of racism is defined less by the introduction of racism into the world and more on the perpetuation of racially …

Bridging The Gap Between Similarity And Causality: An Integrated Approach To Concepts, Corinne L. Bloch-Mullins
Bridging The Gap Between Similarity And Causality: An Integrated Approach To Concepts, Corinne L. Bloch-Mullins
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
A growing consensus in the philosophy and psychology of concepts is that while theories such as the prototype, exemplar, and theory theories successfully account for some instances of concept formation and application, none of them successfully accounts for all such instances. I argue against this ‘new consensus’ and show that the problem is, in fact, more severe: the explanatory force of each of these theories is limited even with respect to the phenomena often cited to support it, as each fails to satisfy an important explanatory desideratum with respect to these phenomena. I argue that these explanatory shortcomings arise from …
Kant, Neo-Kantianism, And Phenomenology, Sebastian Luft
Kant, Neo-Kantianism, And Phenomenology, Sebastian Luft
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
This chapter offers a reassessment of the relationship between Kant, the Kantian tradition, and phenomenology, here focusing mainly on Husserl and Heidegger. Part of this reassessment concerns those philosophers who, during the lives of Husserl and Heidegger, sought to defend an updated version of Kant’s philosophy, the neo-Kantians. The chapter shows where the phenomenologists were able to benefit from some of the insights on the part of Kant and the neo-Kantians, but also clearly points to the differences. The aim of this chapter is to offer a fair evaluation of the relation of the main phenomenologists to Kant and to …

Reason And Agency In Kant And Fichte, Michael Vater
Reason And Agency In Kant And Fichte, Michael Vater
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
This paper explores the question of the unity of Transcendental Idealism at the end of Eighteenth Century German philosophy, given that it circulated in different versions, Kant’s Critique [of humans’ rational powers] and Fichte’ System of Science [Wissenschaftslehre]. Both thinkers take the transcendental turn. They base conceptual investigations not on facts or empirical evidence, but on the possibility of a situation; they are idealists since they look inward to the spontaneity of the agent/knower for explanation, not the environment, stimulus, or sensory given. Reason can fathom only what it has constructed.
Capturing Transitional Justice: Exploring Colleen Murphy’S The Conceptual Foundations Of Transitional Justice, Margaret Urban Walker
Capturing Transitional Justice: Exploring Colleen Murphy’S The Conceptual Foundations Of Transitional Justice, Margaret Urban Walker
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Colleen Murphy’s impressive book presents a unified theory of transitional justice as a single, novel, distinct kind of justice, intended to guide normative evaluation of the choices transitional societies make in dealing with the past. I raise three central challenges to Murphy’s theory. First, how do we know that transitional justice is fundamentally a single special kind of justice that permits a grand unified theory? Second, is it plausible to hold, as Murphy claims, that societal transformation is the overarching aim or objective of transitional justice? Third, is transitional justice convincingly explained as pursuing societal transformation ‘through’ or ‘by’ dealing …
Some Themes In Suárez’S Account Of The Separated Soul, James B. South
Some Themes In Suárez’S Account Of The Separated Soul, James B. South
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
In this article, I focus on three issues in Francisco Suárez’s account of the separated soul: the status of the separated soul as a person, the separated soul’s knowledge of itself, and the question of the soul’s nature both as form of the body and as existing outside the body. I place his discussion in dialogue with St. Thomas Aquinas and Cajetan (Thomas de Vio) and show the ways he departs from those two thinkers. Finally, I show that his account of these problems makes for a philosophically probable account of the resurrection of the body.

El Suplemento De La Imaginación En La Narración. O De Cómo Husserl Aporta Un Complemento A La Perspectiva De Ricoeur, Pol Vandevelde
El Suplemento De La Imaginación En La Narración. O De Cómo Husserl Aporta Un Complemento A La Perspectiva De Ricoeur, Pol Vandevelde
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
I apply Edmund Husserl’s notion of “phantasma”, which he sees as the support for pure imagination, to Ricoeur’s understanding of a narrative of real facts or events. I argue, first, that the phantasma, which plays in pure imagination the same role as sensations in perception, allows us to visualize and experience what is recounted in a narrative; and, second, that this phantasma is analogous to the sensations of perceptions that observers had of these facts and events. This component of imagination in a narrative is precisely what allows a narrative to render facts and events “as they …
Mind Als Geist In Der Welt Der Kultur: Kultuphilosophie, "Naturalistische" Transzendentalphilosophie Und Die Frage Nach Dem Raum Der Kultur, Sebastian Luft
Mind Als Geist In Der Welt Der Kultur: Kultuphilosophie, "Naturalistische" Transzendentalphilosophie Und Die Frage Nach Dem Raum Der Kultur, Sebastian Luft
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Abstract: Mind as Spirit in the World of Culture. Philosophy of Culture, "Naturalistic" Transcendental Philosophy and the Question of the Space of Culture. In this essay I present Cassirer's philosophy of culture as a special application of Kant's transcendental philosophy. I then compare and contrast it to another tradition, namely the Pittsburgh School, especially McDowell. The starting point here is the Sellarsian concept of the 'Space of reasons', which McDowell expands through his Aristotelian-inspired concept of 'Second nature'. By way of a rather peculiar interpretation of an early interpreter of Cassirer -Howe- I will attempt to bring 'Marburg' and 'Pittsburgh' …
Averroes And The Philosophical Account Of Prophecy, Richard C. Taylor
Averroes And The Philosophical Account Of Prophecy, Richard C. Taylor
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Prophecy is conspicuous by its complete absence from all three of the commentaries on De Anima by Averroes. However, prophecy and philosophical metaphysics are discussed by him in his Commentary on the Parva Naturalia, a work written before his methodological work on philosophy and religion, the Faṣl al-maqāl, generally held to have been written ca. 1179-1180. The analyses and remarks of Averroes presented in that Commentary have been characterized by Herbert Davidson as “extremely radical” to the extent that “The term prophet would, on this reading, mean nothing more than the human author of Scripture; and the term revelation …

There Is Nothing It Is Like To See Red: Holism And Subjective Experience, Anthony F. Peressini
There Is Nothing It Is Like To See Red: Holism And Subjective Experience, Anthony F. Peressini
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
The Nagel inspired “something-it-is-like” (SIL) conception of conscious experience remains a dominant approach in philosophy. In this paper I criticize a prevalent philosophical construal of SIL consciousness, one that understands SIL as a property of mental states rather than entities as a whole. I argue against thinking of SIL as a property of states, showing how such a view is in fact prevalent, under-warranted, and philosophically pernicious in that it often leads to an implausible reduction of conscious experience to qualia. I then develop a holistic conception of SIL for entities (not states) and argue that it has at least …

Utopia And The Favelas Of Rio De Janeiro, Curtis L. Carter
Utopia And The Favelas Of Rio De Janeiro, Curtis L. Carter
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Utopias from ancient times to the present have come and gone. They remain as a part of literary, philosophical and historical texts and communal practices. Yet this subject has never ceased to inspire contemporary minds as well. My aim in this paper is to consider the communities known as favelas that have formed on the edges of the Brazilian city of Rio de Janeiro as a contemporary form of utopian community. The paper begins with a brief analysis of the concept of utopia. Then follows a discussion of the Favela as an urban utopia as seen from the perspective of …
Ethical Bedrock Under A Changing Negotiation Landscape, Kevin Gibson
Ethical Bedrock Under A Changing Negotiation Landscape, Kevin Gibson
Philosophy Faculty Research and Publications
Editors' Note: Your dilemmas as a negotiator fall into two basic sets, “what’s possible?” and “what's right?” The first is treated by many chapters in this book. Here, from his philosopher's background, Gibson writes about the influence of morality on negotiations, and how we can think more clearly about what's the right thing to do. This chapter should be read in conjunction with Carrie-Meadow’s chapter on The Morality of Compromise.
