Lexington Books The Expressive Self
Book SynopsisExpression is typically construed as a relation between two ontologically distinct itemsnamely, a vehicle and a contentbut it is better construed non-relationally, since the content is an intrinsic aspect or quality of the expressive vehicle. Upon this basis, The Expressive Self: The First Person in Speech and Thought argues that the distinctive nature of the first-person perspective must be accounted for in expressive, rather than epistemic, terms. For though others can report on what one expresses, one alone is able to non-relationally express oneself; one alone is able to produce vehicles that are episodes of one's self-consciousness. According to Ángel García Rodríguez, the ensuing expressive model of the self provides clarity on some prominent contemporary puzzles, notably Moore's paradox, self-deception, and McKinsey's paradox, given the duality of non-relationally expressive and reporting uses of the underlying first-person claims. Moreover, the phenomena of self-reference and first-person authority, both psychological and bodily, pose no objection to the model. Throughout, the author engages critically with alternative conceptions of the self, delivering a novel account that helps advance the debate about the nature of the self and of the first person.

Lexington Books Skepticism and the New World
Book SynopsisThe arrival of Europeans in the New World in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries, often neglected by historians of philosophy, is a crucial historical event that transformed modern thought. Skepticism and the New World: The Anthropological Argument and the Emergence of Modernity argues that the encounter between Europeans and the inhabitants of the New World challenges Europeans' concept of a universal human nature and leads to new forms of skepticism. Contrasting a theological and political debate on the rights of indigenous peoples with the rights of conquest and just war of the Spanish, Danilo Marcondes examines their anthropology, exploring how the French saw the indigenous cultures of the New World and how they shaped their epistemology.

Lexington Books Disagreeing despite the Data
Book SynopsisDisagreeing despite the Data: The Destruction of the Factual Commons examines the pressing problem of factual disagreement between social groups, suggesting that the belief segregation underway in the United States may be irreversible. David Apgar argues draws on the work of twentieth-century philosophers of science and languageespecially Popper, Wittgenstein, and Davidsonto identify three requirements for factual agreement to be possible at all: a pervasive habit of checking assumptions, densely connected communities, and projects that straddle those communities. The growing refusal to test assumptions and individual isolation can be remedied by critical thinking and community building. However, factual agreement between groups is impossible without shared projects or other meaningful interaction, and a large part of American society has insulated itself from the rest. Without shared projects, communities lose the ability to tell whether they agree or not regardless of the words they use. Disagreeing despite the Data looks at the destructive effects of belief segregation with similar roots in several developing countries, as well as richer ones on the same path, which indicates that widespread factual agreement is more of a miracle than a foregone conclusion.

Lexington Books Kant and the Path of German Idealism
Book SynopsisKant's critical philosophy emerged within a philosophical landscape ripe for change, and it provided an unprecedented blueprint for how to scientifically, ethically, and spiritually reconcile subjective experience within the unique realities of modernity. Nevertheless, Kant's critical system encountered numerous challenges along its path toward influence. Drawing upon key texts from the Golden Age of philosophical scholarship from Kant to Hegel, Kant and the Path of German Idealism illuminates the trajectory of Kant's critical foundation as it was initially received, developed, and ostensibly usurped. What emerges from Daniel Patrick Kelly's reading of this philosophical period is the fundamental centrality of Kant's discursive account of cognition. Kelly contends that the early and steady erosion of the Kantian discursive foundationwhich is theoretically central to the strength, integrity, and applicability of the Kantian systemwas largely due to persistent Neo-Spinozist developments, misunderstandings of Kant's radical ideas, and the inability of Kant himself to sufficiently defend and further explicate his epistemology. This book also examines the revisionist developments of the immanent systems of Kant's German Idealist successors, presenting their systematic efforts as cautionary tales in their coice to reject Kant's epistemic wisdom.

Academica Press Debunking Scholarly Nonsense
Book SynopsisDebunking Scholarly Nonsense is a diatribe against the foolish claptrap that serious and respected scholars sometimes foist upon their peers and the public. The material discussed here does not usually derive from extreme political notions, conspiracy theories, or the ruminations of those who accept astrological control, I Ching divination, crystal healing, or chariots of the gods. Rather, the progenitors are physicists, astronomers, psychologists, psychiatrists, medical doctors, and philosophers. The topics under discussion include Holocaust denial, string theory, multiple universes, alien abductions, extraterrestrials, a simulated or non-existent world, non-sentience or poly-sentience, harmful therapies, denials of climate change and Covid vaccination efficacy, among other possibilities. The authors of these articles, essays, papers, and books are not merely ruminating in a void. Their words and ideas influence others and may have detrimental effects in a world already charged with extreme misery.

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC A Critical Introduction to Formal Epistemology
Book SynopsisFormal methods are changing how epistemology is being studied and understood. A Critical Introduction to Formal Epistemology introduces the types of formal theories being used and explains how they are shaping the subject. Beginning with the basics of probability and Bayesianism, it shows how representing degrees of belief using probabilities informs central debates in epistemology. As well as discussing induction, the paradox of confirmation and the main challenges to Bayesianism, this comprehensive overview covers objective chance, peer disagreement, the concept of full belief, and the traditional problems of justification and knowledge. Subjecting each position to a critical analysis, it explains the main issues in formal epistemology, and the motivations and drawbacks of each position. Written in an accessible language and supported study questions, guides to further reading and a glossary, positions are placed in an historic context to give a sense of the development of the field. As the first introductory textbook on formal epistemology, A Critical Introduction to Formal Epistemology is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of contemporary epistemology.Trade ReviewThe thirst for knowledge ... is competently soothed by Bloomsbury with the volume A Critical Introduction to Formal Epistemiology, which provides useful material against the celebration of ignorance. * Il Sole 24 Ore (Bloomsbury Translation) *In the last decade or so, formal epistemology has become a huge growth area in philosophy. Yet outsiders are often intimidated by it—to many, “formal” conveys “difficult” or “scary”. Darren Bradley’s user-friendly introduction should assure them that they have nothing to fear. But it is not just an introduction; it is a critical introduction. As such, there is also plenty here to fascinate insiders. This is an exciting and timely book. -- Alan Hájek, Professor of Philosophy, Australian National University, AustraliaTable of Contents1. Belief and Probability 2. Belief and Acceptance 3.

Rowman & Littlefield International The Future of Social Epistemology: A Collective
Book SynopsisThe Future of Social Epistemology: A Collective Vision sets an agenda for exploring the future of what we – human beings reimagining our selves and our society – want, need and ought to know. The book examines, concretely, practically and speculatively, key ideas such as the public conduct of philosophy, models for extending and distributing knowledge, the interplay among individuals and groups, risk taking and the welfare state, and envisioning people and societies remade through the breakneck pace of scientific and technological change. An international team of contributors offers a ‘collective vision’, one that speaks to what they see unfolding and how to plan and conduct the dialogue and work leading to a knowable and desirable world. The book describes and advances an intellectual agenda for the future of social epistemology.Trade ReviewThis collection of twenty-five original essays from an international group of scholars proposes various possible avenues of development for the emerging study of social epistemology. As much a shared agenda or vision statement as it is a series of discussions that take stock of where social epistemology is now, the essays cover topics such as how to extend and distribute knowledge, the public conduct of philosophy, and how the social study of knowledge may be affected by scientific and technological change. The contributions collectively provide a practical guide to the student of social epistemology…. * Graduate Faculty Philosophy Journal *As a new interdisciplinary area of knowledge production and dissemination, Social Epistemology has found its own voice and international disciples. This volume brings together not only a variety of perspectives and practices, but also a self-reflexive moment that looks at the present condition of the field to envision its future. A must read for the novice and the curious. -- Raphael Sassower, Professor and Chair of Philosophy, University of ColoradoTaking stock and simultaneously exploring new perspectives, this is a bold and timely addition to the existing literature. New voices join established scholars in a collaborative effort to challenge disciplinary boundaries; the result is a vibrant and thought-provoking collection of papers – as much a contribution to the social study of knowledge as it is an experiment with doing social epistemology. -- Axel Gelfert, Associate Professor of Philosophy, National University of SingaporeTable of ContentsIntroduction, James H.

Pitchstone Publishing Manual for Creating Atheists
Book SynopsisFor thousands of years, the faithful have honed proselytizing strategies and talked people into believing the truth of one holy book or another. Indeed, the faithful often view converting others as an obligation of their faith—and are trained from an early age to spread their unique brand of religion. The result is a world broken in large part by unquestioned faith. As an urgently needed counter to this tried-and-true tradition of religious evangelism, A Manual for Creating Atheists offers the first-ever guide not for talking people into faith—but for talking them out of it. Peter Boghossian draws on the tools he has developed and used for more than 20 years as a philosopher and educator to teach how to engage the faithful in conversations that will help them value reason and rationality, cast doubt on their religious beliefs, mistrust their faith, abandon superstition and irrationality, and ultimately embrace reason.Trade ReviewThere is nothing else on the market like this book that helps atheists talk believers out of their faith. Every atheist interested in doing so, or who talks to believers about faith at all, should read it. Its both needed and brilliant!--John W. Loftus, author of Why I Became an Atheist and The Outsider Test for FaithBoghossian has provided an indispensible chart book for all of us who must navigate the rising sea of magical thinking that is inundating America today.--Victor Stenger, Ph.D., author of God: The Failed Hypothesis and God and the AtomIf we want to live in world that is safer and more rational for all, then this is the guidebook we have been waiting for. Relying on extensive experience and a deep concern for humanity, Peter Boghossian has produced a game changer. This is not a book to read while relaxing in a hammock on a sunny afternoon. This is the how-to manual to take into the trenches of everyday life where minds are won and lost in the struggle between reason and madness.--Guy P. Harrison, author of 50 Simple Questions for Every Christian and Race and Reality"A book so great you can skip it and just read the footnotes. Pure genius." --Christopher Johnson, cofounder, the Onion"I wouldn't be surprised if ten years from now we realized that this book's publication was a turning point in the decline of Christianity in the West." --Tom Gilson, author, Thinking Christian

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Metasemantics and Intersectionality in the
Book SynopsisThis book investigates the impact of misinformation and the role of truth in political struggle. It develops a theory of objective truth for political controversy over topics such as racism and gender, based on the insights of intersectionality, the Black feminist theory of interlocking systems of oppression. Truth is defined using the tools of model theory and formal semantics, but the theory also captures how social power dynamics strongly influence the operation of the concept of truth within the social fabric. Systemic ignorance, propagated through false speech and misinformation, sustains oppressive power structures and perpetuates systemic inequity. Truth tends to empower marginalized groups precisely because oppressive systems are maintained through systemic ignorance. If the truth sets people free, then power will work to obscure it. Hence, the rise of misinformation as a political weapon is a strategy of dominant power to undermine the political advancement of marginalized groups.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Introduction: Truth in Political StruggleChapter 2: Politically Contested TerminologyChapter 3: On the Possibility of Semantic CorruptionChapter 4: Toward a Conception of Misinformation as Epistemic ViolenceChapter 5: Model-Theoretic Semantics for Politically Contested TerminologyChapter 6: Toward an Intersectional MetasemanticsChapter 7: Power and Regimes of TruthChapter 8: An Analytic Philosopher’s Unified Theory of IntersectionalityChapter 9: Intersectional Metasemantic AdequacyChapter 10: A Metasemantics for IntersectionalityChapter 11: Situated Knowledge and the Regime of Truth
