This is a paper about the way language meshes with life. It focuses on Ludwig Wittgenstein’s later work, and compares it with
Leo Tolstoy and Saint Augustine’s confessions. My aim is to better understand in this way what it means to have meaning in
language, as well as meaning in life.

This paper traces a lost genealogical connection between Charles S. Peirce’s later theory of signs and contemporary work in
the philosophy of language by John Perry. As is shown, despite some differences, both accounts offer what might be termed
a multi-level account of meaning. Moreover, it is claimed that by adopting a ‘Peircian turn’ in his theory, Perry might overcome
alleged shortcomings in his account of cognitive significance.

This is commentary on Cornejo’s Intersubjectivity as co-phenomenology: from the holism to the being-in-the-world-with-others, co-phenomenology, in which meaning is defined as a construal of phenomenological experience, it is not an individual creation, but rather
an intersubjective one. In this paper the basic question is how language expresses the world and things and, consequently,
what vision of the world is expressed by language and what relationship it creates with the real. Language is a set of differences between signs and meanings. It lives for and by this constant aspiration to say the inexpressible, to capture the elusive. Language tries to express the driving inner movement
of the real through references and interlacing, by multiplying the relational threads of meanings. For example, the phonetic
gesture performs for the speaker and his listener a certain structuring of experience, a certain modulation of existence.
This is a communicative dimension in which meaning is always a process. It is the situation of co-feeling between subjects, in which understanding is achieved, as defined by Cornejo in his essay.

In part 4 of Meaning, Expression, and Thought, Davis rejects what he calls Fregean ideational theories, according to which the meaning of an expression is an idea; and
then presents his own account, which states that, e.g., the meaning of ‘Primzahl’ in German is the property of meaning prime number. Before casting doubt on the latter ontology of meanings, I come to Frege’s defence by pointing out that he was not an advocate
of the position Davis named after him because Fregean senses are not lexical meanings and Fregean thoughts are not types of
mental events.

I argue that the reflections on language in Adorno and Heidegger have their common root in a modernist problematic that dissected
experience into ordinary experience, and transfiguring experiences that are beyond the capacity for expression of our language.
I argue that Adorno’s solution to this problem is the more resolutely “modernist” one, in that Adorno is more rigorous about
preserving the distinction between what can be said, and what strives for expression in language. After outlining the definitive
statement of this problematic in Nietzsche’s early epistemological writings, I outline Heidegger’s solution and subsequently
Adorno’s critique of Heidegger. Finally, I argue that situating Adorno within the modernist problem of language and expression
is crucial for making sense of his philosophy as a form of critical theory.

Number sense and quantifier interpretation 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
We consider connections between number sense—the ability to judge number—and the interpretation of natural language quantifiers.
In particular, we present empirical evidence concerning the neuroanatomical underpinnings of number sense and quantifier interpretation.
We show, further, that impairment of number sense in patients can result in the impairment of the ability to interpret sentences
containing quantifiers. This result demonstrates that number sense supports some aspects of the language faculty.

The paper provides an account of necessary truths in Berkeley based upon his divine language model. If the thesis of the paper
is correct, not all Berkeleian necessary truths can be known a priori.

Here is a simple counterexample to David Lewis’s causal influence account of causation, one that is especially illuminating
due to its connection to what Lewis himself writes: it is a variant of his trumping example

The purpose of this paper is to consider Joshua Gert’s novel view of subjective practical rationality in his book Brute Rationality. After briefly outlining the account, I present two objections to his view and then consider his own objections to a rival
approach to understanding subjective rationality which I take to be much more plausible.

Here I offer a precise analysis of what it takes for a property to count as emergent. The features widely considered crucial to emergence include novelty, unpredictability, supervenience, relationality, and downward causal influence. By acknowledging each of these distinctive features, the definition provided below captures an important sense in which
the whole can be more than the sum of its parts.

Mathematizing phenomenology 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Jeffrey Yoshimi 《Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences》2007,6(3):271-291
Husserl is well known for his critique of the “mathematizing tendencies” of modern science, and is particularly emphatic that
mathematics and phenomenology are distinct and in some sense incompatible. But Husserl himself uses mathematical methods in
phenomenology. In the first half of the paper I give a detailed analysis of this tension, showing how those Husserlian doctrines
which seem to speak against application of mathematics to phenomenology do not in fact do so. In the second half of the paper
I focus on a particular example of Husserl’s “mathematized phenomenology”: his use of concepts from what is today called dynamical
systems theory.

Ernest Sosa draws a distinction between animal knowledge and reflective knowledge, and this distinction forms the centerpiece
of his new book, A Virtue Epistemology. This paper argues that the distinction cannot do the work which Sosa assigns to it.

This paper is a rejoinder to Thaddeus Metz’s article “Censure Theory Still Best Accounts for Punishment of the Guilty: Reply
to Montague.” In his article, Metz attempts to answer objections to censure theory that I had raised previously. I argue in
my rejoinder that Metz’s defense of censure theory remains seriously problematic despite what he says in his reply.

This paper distinguishes between two senses of the term “phenomenology”: a narrow sense (drawn from Nagel) and a broader sense
(drawn from Husserl). It claims, with particular reference to the moral sphere, that the narrow meaning of moral phenomenology
cannot stand alone, that is, that moral phenomenology in the narrow sense entails moral intentionality. The paper proceeds
by examining different examples of the axiological and volitional experiences of both virtuous and dutiful agents, and it
notes the correlation between the phenomenal and intentional differences belonging to these experiences. The paper concludes
with some reflections on how the focus on the broader sense of “phenomenology” serves to provide a more precise sense of what
we might mean by “moral phenomenology.”

Phenomenology of the body and the third generation of cognitive science, both of which attribute a central role in human cognition
to the body rather than to the Cartesian notion of representation, face the criticism that higher-level cognition cannot be
fully grasped by those studies. The problem here is how explicit representations, consciousness, and thoughts issue from perception
and the body, and how they cooperate in human cognition. In order to address this problem, we propose a research program,
a cognitive phenomenology of the body, which is basically motivated by the perspective of Merleau-Ponty. We find a substantial clue in developmental psychological
studies on the body and language.

In his recent book, In Praise of Blame, George Sher argues (among other things) that a bad act can reflect negatively on a person if that act results in an appropriate
way from that person’s “character,” and defends a novel “two-tiered” account of what it is to blame someone. In these brief
comments, I raise some questions and doubts about each of these aspects of his rich and thought-provoking account.

In his multi-faceted attack on Rawls’s account of justice, G.A. Cohen has argued that the notion of basic structure is necessarily
insensitive to the importance of informal social norms to social justice. The paper argues that the most plausible account
of the basic structure is not blind to informal social norms in any meaningful sense. Whereas informal, non-legally coercive
institutions are not part of the basic structure as such, their careful consideration is necessary for the assessment of whether the basic structure
itself is indeed just. This claim is based on an account of what it means for normative principle to apply to institutions,
which I expound in detail throughout the paper. Principles apply to institutions, I argue, not in that they restrain their
conduct, but in that they indicate which social conditions they should bring about.

This commentary on Dan Shanahan’s, A New View of Language, Emotion and the Brain, basically agrees with an emotion-based view of the evolutionary and developmental basis of language acquisition. It provides
a supplementary neuroscience perspective that is more deeply affective and epigenetic in the sense that all claims about neocortically-based
language modules need to be tempered by the existing genetic evidence as well as the robust neuroscience evidence that the
cortex resembles random-access-memory space, a tabula rasa upon which epigenetic and learning processes create functional networks. The transition from non-linguistic creatures to
linguistic ones may have required the conjunction of social-affective brain mechanisms, morphological changes in the articulatory
apparatus, an abundance of cross-modal cortical processing ability, and the initial urge to communicate in coordinate prosodic
gestural and vocal ways, which may have been more poetic and musical than current propositional language. There may be no
language instinct that is independent of these evolutionary pre-adaptations.

From 1990 on, the London psychologist Max Velmans developed a novel approach to (phenomenal) consciousness according to which
an experience of an object is phenomenologically identical to an object as experienced. On the face of it I agree; but unlike Velmans I argue that the latter should be understood as comparable, not to a Kantian, but rather to a noematic ‘phenomenon’ in the Husserlian sense. Consequently, I replace Velmans’s reflexive model with a complementaristic approach
in a strict sense which leaves no room for either monistic or dualistic views (including Velmans’s ontological monism and
his dual-aspect interpretation of complementarity) and hence requires us to radically reinterpret the concept of psychophysical
causation.

In this paper we discuss visualizations in mathematics from a historical and didactical perspective. We consider historical
debates from the 17th and 19th centuries regarding the role of intuition and visualizations in mathematics. We also consider
the problem of what a visualization in mathematical learning can achieve. In an empirical study we investigate what mathematical
conclusions university students made on the basis of a visualization. We emphasize that a visualization in mathematics should
always be considered in its proper context.
