This article compares the views of Foot and Aristotle on virtues and flourishing. It is argued that the view put forward in
Philippa Foot’s recent book, Natural Goodness, suffers from a certain sort of vagueness and it is open to other criticisms which the Aristotelian view can avoid. Foot’s
views have been subjected to criticism in the recent literature by David Copp and David Sobel. These criticisms are given
consideration in the article and it is argued that the more traditional Aristotelian view advocated by the author will have
the means to answer some of these criticisms whereas Foot’s view will not.

In this paper we analyze the uses and misuses of argumentation schemes from verbal classification, and show how argument from
definition supports argumentation based on argument from verbal classification. The inquiry has inevitably included the broader
study of the concept of definition. The paper presents the schemes for argument from classification and for argument from
definition, and shows how the latter type of argument so typically supports the former. The problem of analyzing arguments
based on classification is framed in a structure that reveals the crucial role it plays in the persuasion process. The survey
of the literature includes the work of Hastings, Perelman, Kienpointner and Schiappa, but still finds much of value in Aristotle.
Lessons drawn from Aristotle’s Topics are shown to be useful for developing new tools for assessing definitions and arguments
from definition.

Stéphane Legrand 《Sophia》2008,47(3):281-291
This article aims at showing that in spite of Michel Foucault’s violent rejection of phenomenology, this discipline never
ceased to bear a crucial significance for his archaeological and genealogical analyses, in that it can be construed as a symptom
indicating the most serious challenge that the contemporary philosophy has to meet: thinking together Experience and Knowledge.
The author intends to prove, by resorting to the Marxian concept of ‘objectively necessary appearance’, that Foucault’s main
opposition to phenomenology stems from his original conception of the theory as a sort of experiment made by the philosopher
on himself and on his own historical a priori.

This article studies the phenomenology of chronic illness in light of phenomenology’s insights into ecstatic temporality and
freedom. It shows how a chronic illness can, in lived experience, manifest itself as a disturbance of our usual relation to
ecstatic temporality and thence as a disturbance of freedom. This suggests that ecstatic temporality is related to another
sort of time—“provisional time”—that is in turn rooted in the body. The article draws on Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology of Perception and Heidegger’s Being and Time, shedding light on the latter’s concept of ecstatic temporality. It also discusses implications for self-management of chronic
illness, especially in children.

I criticized Jeffrey King’s theory of complex demonstratives in “Problems for a Quantificational Theory of Complex Demonstratives.”
King replied in “Complex Demonstratives as Quantifiers: Objections and Replies.” I here comment on some of King’s replies.

It is widely believed that the so-called knowledge account of assertion best explains why sentences such as “It’s raining
in Paris but I don’t believe it” and “It’s raining in Paris but I don’t know it” appear odd to us. I argue that the rival
rational credibility account of assertion explains that fact just as well. I do so by providing a broadly Bayesian analysis
of the said type of sentences which shows that such sentences cannot express rationally held beliefs. As an interesting aside,
it will be seen that these sentences also harbor a lesson for Bayesian epistemology itself.

Jason Stanley has criticized a contextualist solution to the sorites paradox that treats vagueness as a kind of indexicality.
His objection rests on a feature of indexicals that seems plausible: that their reference remains fixed in verb phrase ellipsis.
But the force of Stanley’s criticism depends on the undefended assumption that vague terms, if they are a special sort of
indexical, must function in the same way that more paradigmatic indexicals do. This paper argues that there can be more than
one sort of indexicality, that one term might easily have both sorts, and that therefore, and despite Stanley’s worries, vagueness
might easily be assimilated to one form.

This paper takes on several distinct but related tasks. First, I present and discuss what I will call the “Ignorance Thesis,”
which states that whenever an agent acts from ignorance, whether factual or moral, she is culpable for the act only if she
is culpable for the ignorance from which she acts. Second, I offer a counterexample to the Ignorance Thesis, an example that
applies most directly to the part I call the “Moral Ignorance Thesis.” Third, I argue for a principle—Don’t Know, Don’t Kill—that
supports the view that the purported counterexample actually is a counterexample. Finally, I suggest that my arguments in
this direction can supply a novel sort of argument against many instances of killing and eating certain sorts of animals.

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.

In this article we defend the inferential view of scientific models and idealisation. Models are seen as “inferential prostheses”
(instruments for surrogative reasoning) construed by means of an idealisation-concretisation process, which we essentially
understand as a kind of counterfactual deformation procedure (also analysed in inferential terms). The value of scientific
representation is understood in terms not only of the success of the inferential outcomes arrived at with its help, but also
of the heuristic power of representation and their capacity to correct and improve our models. This provides us with an argument
against Sugden’s account of credible models: the likelihood or realisticness (their “credibility”) is not always a good measure
of their acceptability. As opposed to “credibility” we propose the notion of “enlightening”, which is the capacity of giving
us understanding in the sense of an inferential ability.

A review of Peter Steele’s Plenty, a book in which each poem is faced by a colour plate of the painting or object which sparked it off. Hollander’s ecphrasis
and Krieger’s ekphrasis are held in – possibly unresolvable – dialectic by Steele’s poems. The only resolution which one can
find is one of wit rather than of philosophy.

This study examined the impact of the actual environment on changes in psychological adjustment over time. According to Self-Determination
Theory (SDT; Deci and Ryan, Intrinsic motivation and self-determination in human behavior, 1985a, Plenum, New York; J Res
Pers 19:109–134, 1985b; Psychol Inq 11:227–268, 2000), environments that are objectively supportive of autonomy should facilitate
psychological adjustment through their impact on people’s subjective perceptions of autonomy and self-determined motivation.
The present study tested this hypothesis using a prospective design with nursing homes residents. Results from structural
equation modeling showed that actual autonomy-supportive nursing home environments were positively associated with residents’
perceptions of autonomy that in turn predicted self-determined motivation in major life domains. Self-determined motivation,
in turn, predicted increases in psychological adjustment over a one-year period. Theoretical implications of the present findings
are discussed in line with SDT.

This essay argues that the prospect of health and well-being from a Buddhist perspective must take into account an understanding
of religiosity as a process of becoming, a culturally and contextually defined praxis of what and who it is we are and would
like to become. It is in this process of becoming that a space of healing is made possible. It is not simply that Buddhist
temple space is ‘good’ in some sort of clinical manner, but rather that it is active in its will to achieve a space of becoming
healthy and whole.

Supernatural Miracles and Religious Inclusiveness 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Morgan Luck 《Sophia》2007,46(3):287-293
In this paper I shall assess Clarke’s assertion that all definitions of miracles that purport to satisfy the criterion of
religious inclusiveness should substitute the term ‘supernatural’ for ‘non-natural’. In addition, I shall attempt to strengthen
Clarke’s conception of the supernatural by offering an analysis of what it means for something to be ‘above’ nature. Lastly,
I shall offer a new argument as to why Clarke’s intention-based definition of miracles is necessarily less religiously inclusive
than Mumford’s causation-based definition.
