Taylor & Francis Ltd The Routledge Handbook of Metaphysical Grounding
Some of philosophy's biggest questions, both historically and today, are in-virtue-of questions: In virtue of what is an action right or wrong? In virtue of what am I the same person my mother bore? In virtue of what is an artwork beautiful? Philosophers attempt to answer many of these types of in-virtue-of questions, but philosophers are also increasingly focusing on what an in-virtue-of question is in the first place. Many assume, at least as a working hypothesis, that in-virtue-of questions involve a distinctively metaphysical kind of determinative explanation called ground. This Handbook surveys the state of the art on ground as well as its connections and applications to other topics. The central issues of ground are discussed in 37 chapters, all written exclusively for this volume by a wide range of leading experts. The chapters are organized into the following sections:I. HistoryII. Explanation and DeterminationII

Taylor & Francis Ltd Microaggressions and Philosophy
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to offer a philosophical engagement with microaggressions. It aims to provide an intersectional analysis of microaggressions that cuts across multiple dimensions of oppression and marginalization, and to engage a variety of perspectives that have been sidelined within the discipline of philosophy. The volume gathers a diverse group of contributors: philosophers of color, philosophers with disabilities, philosophers of various nationalities and ethnicities, and philosophers of several gender identities. Their unique frames of analysis articulate both how the concept of microaggressions can be used to clarify and sharpen our understanding of subtler aspects of oppression and how analysis, expansion, and reconceiving the notion of a microaggression can deepen and extend its explanatory power. The essays in the volume seek to defend microaggressions from common critiques and to explain their impact beyond the context of college students. Some of the guiding questiTrade Review"This book provides an important critique of some common conversations about micoaggressions, but it also shows us what more informed and more interesting conversations about them look like." – Stacey Goguen, Northeastern Illinois University, USA"Microaggressions and Philosophy is a bold volume whose contributions span the scope of the structural, the interpersonal, and the scientific. It is essential reading for anyone interested in philosophy that engages with oppression and social justice." – Nora Berenstain, University of Tennessee, USATable of Contents Introduction: Microaggressions and Philosophy Lauren Freeman Sticks and Stones Can Break Your Bones and Words Can Really Hurt You: A Standpoint Epistemological Reply to Critics of the Microaggression Research Program Lauren Freeman and Heather Stewart Microaggressions, Mechanisms, and Harm Cameron Evans and Ron Mallon Psychological Research on Racial Microaggressions: Community Science and Concept Explication Morgan Thompson Taking the Measure of Microaggression: How to Put Boundaries on a Nebulous Concept Regina Rini Escalating Linguistic Violence: From Microaggressions to Hate Speech Emma McClure Outing Foreigners: Accent and Linguistic Microaggressions Saray Ayala-López I Know What Happened to Me: The Epistemic Harms of Microaggression Saba Fatima A Defense of Intentional Microaggressions and Microaggressive Harassment: The Fundamental Attribution Error, Harassment, and Gaslighting of Transgender Athletes Christina Friedlaender & Rachel McKinnon Microaggressions as a Disciplinary Technique for Fat and Potentially Fat Bodies Alison Reiheld The Message in the Microaggression: Epistemic Oppression at the Intersection of Disability and Race Jeanine Weekes Schroer and Zara Bain Racial Methodological Microaggressions: When Good Intersectionality Goes Bad Tempest M.

Taylor & Francis Labyrinths of Language
Book SynopsisThirteen essays in the book explore and investigate diverse contemporary philosophically current themes and issues. The title is derived from Wittgenstein's statement that 'anguage is a labyrinth of paths,' and it studiously avoids any conclusive claim on its central motif. What people, both users and theorists, do with language, rather than what it is, is the running theme. The book critically presents the views of a wide range of philosophically and analytically oriented authors including, de Saussure, Levinas, LÃvi-Strauss, Wittgenstein, Derrida, Bakhtin, Benjamin, Kafka, Heidegger, Blanchot, Jean-Luc Nancy, Barthes and Deleuze. Only two essays diverge from the main concern with language: the one on the discourse of death, and another on the philosophy of image. One essay involves an analysis of the cultural and political discourse in a contemporary Malayalam novel. The concluding essay attempts to develop a postcolonial field of language studies, with reference to the works of t

Taylor & Francis Ltd Counterspeech
Book SynopsisThis volume looks at the forms and functions of counterspeech as well as what determines its effectiveness and success from multidisciplinary perspectives. Counterspeech is in line with international human rights and freedom of speech, and it can be a much more powerful tool against dangerous and toxic speech than blocking and censorship.In the face of online hate speech and disinformation, counterspeech is a tremendously important and timely topic. The book uniquely brings together expertise from a variety of disciplines. It explores linguistic, ethical and legal aspects of counterspeech, looks at the functions and effectiveness of counterspeech from anthropological, practical and sociological perspectives and addresses the question of how we can use modern technological advances to make counterspeech a more instantaneous and efficient option to respond to harmful language online. The greatest benefit of counterspeech lies in the ability to reach bystanders and prevent them Table of ContentsIntroduction; Part I: Approaches to Counterspeech: Linguistics, Philosophy and Interdisciplinarity; 1. Counterspeech Practices in Digital Discourse - An Interactional Approach; 2. The Philosophy of Counter Language; 3. Seeing the Full Picture: The Value of Interdisciplinary Counterspeech Research; Part II: Counterspeech in Context: Media, Culture and the Legal Framework; 4.

Taylor & Francis Ltd The Linguistic Construction of Reality
Book SynopsisThis book, originally published in 1987, considers how the science of linguistics creates its own objects of study. It argues that language is the one essential tool in the social construction of reality' the way in which our environment as we perceive and respond to it is actually created by the cultural constructs we bring to bear on it and that it is also the means by which this reality, once constructed, is preserved and transmitted from person to person and from generation to generation. Hence it is entirely appropriate to refer to the linguistic construction of reality. Table of ContentsPart 1: Views of Language 1. The Mapping and Reality-Construction Views of Language 2. Subject-Matter Views Part 2: Saying Things: Conceptual Events 3. Saying Things 4. Conceptual Events and Real-World Situations 5. The Problem of Translation Part 3: Conceptual Worlds 6.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Rule-following and Meaning
Book SynopsisThe rule-following debate, in its concern with the metaphysics and epistemology of linguistic meaning and mental content, goes to the heart of the most fundamental questions of contemporary philosophy of mind and language. This volume gathers together the most important contributions to the topic, including papers by Simon Blackburn, Paul Boghossian, Graeme Forbes, Warren Goldfarb, Paul Horwich, John McDowell, Colin McGinn, Ruth Millikan, Philip Pettit, George Wilson, Crispin Wright, and Jose Zalabardo. The debate has centred on Saul Kripke's reading of the rule-following sections in Wittgenstein and his consequent posing of a sceptical paradox that threatens our everyday notions of linguistic meaning and mental content. These essays are attempts to respond to this challenge and represent some of the most important work in contemporary theory of meaning. With an introductory essay and a comprehensive guide to further reading this book is an excellent resource for courses in philosophy of mind, philosophy of language, Wittgenstein, and metaphysics, as well as for all philosophers, linguists, and cognitive scientists with interests in these areas.Trade Review"Addresses isssues of central importance to contemporary work in analytic philosophy of mind, language and metaphysics, and there is no other anthology on these issues that takes account of Kripke's work and the ensuing literature." - David Davies, McGill UniversityTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press Speech Acts an Essay in the Philosophy of Language
Book SynopsisWritten in an outstandingly clear and lively style, this 1969 book provokes its readers to rethink issues they may have regarded as long since settled.Trade Review'This small but tightly packed volume is easily the most substantial discussion of speech acts since John Austin's How to do things with words and one of the most important contributions to the philosophy of language in recent decades.' The Philosophical Quarterly'This book has immediately, and justly, been accorded the status of a major contribution to the philosophy of language. The brilliant but programmatic insights of Austin's How to do things with words are systematically developed and integrated with the more recent work of philosophers such as Grice, Rawls and Searle himself to produce an apparently comprehensive and certainly illuminating general theory, summarized in what Searle terms the 'main hypothesis' of the book, 'speaking a language is engaging in a rule-governed form of behaviour.' Mind'The main merit of Searle's book - and it is a very substantial merit indeed - is that by attempting to construct a systematic theory of speech acts it substantially advances out knowledge of the problems that have to be solved in this fascinating field. Even if Searle himself has not yet found a wholly satisfactory way through the jungle, he has certainly established a number of clearings which will greatly facilitate subsequent explorations.' Philosophical Review'Written in an outstanding clear and lively style, it provokes its readers to rethink issues they may have regarded as long since settled.' The Times Literary SupplementTable of ContentsPart I. A Theory of Speech Acts: 1. Methods and scope; 2. Expressions, meaning and speech acts; 3. The structure of illocutionary acts; 4. Reference as a speech act; 5. Predication; Part II. Some Applications of the Theory: 6. Three fallacies in contemporary philosophy; 7. Problems of reference; 8. Deriving 'ought' from 'is'; Index.

Cambridge University Press Ontology Modality and the Fallacy of Reference Cambridge Studies in Philosophy
Book SynopsisThis is a book about the concept of a physical thing and about how the names of things relate to the things they name. It questions the prevalent view that names 'refer to' or 'denote' the things they name. Instead it presents a new theory of proper names, according to which names express certain special properties that the things they name exhibit. This theory leads to some important conclusions about whether things have any of their properties as a matter of necessity. This will be an important book for philosophers in metaphysics and the philosophy of language, though it will also interest linguists concerned with the semantics of natural language.Table of ContentsPreface; 1. Ontology; 2. Things and their parts; 3. Some properties of things; 4. A theory of names; 5. Necessity and essentialism; References; Index.
