  • Traditional Institutions, Social Change, and Same-Sex Marriage
    WAX.DOC 10/5/2005 1:41 PM The Conservative’s Dilemma: Traditional Institutions, Social Change, and Same-Sex Marriage AMY L. WAX* I. INTRODUCTION What is the meaning of marriage? The political fault lines that have emerged in the last election on the question of same-sex marriage suggest that there is no consensus on this issue. This article looks at the meaning of marriage against the backdrop of the same-sex marriage debate. Its focus is on the opposition to same-sex marriage. Drawing on the work of some leading conservative thinkers, it investigates whether a coherent, secular case can be made against the legalization of same-sex marriage and whether that case reflects how opponents of same-sex marriage think about the issue. In examining these questions, the article seeks more broadly to achieve a deeper understanding of the place of marriage in social life and to explore the implications of the recent controversy surrounding its reform. * Professor of Law, University of Pennsylvania Law School. 1059 WAX.DOC 10/5/2005 1:41 PM One striking aspect of the debate over the legal status of gay relationships is the contrast between public opinion, which is sharply divided, and what is written about the issue, which is more one-sided. A prominent legal journalist stated to me recently, with grave certainty, that there exists not a single respectable argument against the legal recognition of gay marriage. The opponents’ position is, in her word, a “nonstarter.” That viewpoint is reflected in discussions of the issue that appear in the academic literature.

  • RATES of PASSAGE James Van Cleve That Time Flows Or Passes
    To appear in Analytical Philosophy. RATES OF PASSAGE James Van Cleve That time flows or passes seems to be among the most obvious and inescapable of truths, yet there is an entire camp of philosophers who deny it—upholders of what is variously called the static theory of time, the eternalist theory, the four-dimensional theory, or the B theory.1 There is an initially compelling argument for their position, expressible in a pair of rhetorical questions: If time passes, must there not be a rate at which it passes? Yet what could that rate possibly be? The very idea of such a rate seems nonsensical or absurd. To make sense of it, we would evidently need to posit a hyper-time in which ordinary time passes, but the notion of hyper-time, besides being mystifying by itself, seems to be but the second step in a preposterous infinite series of time dimensions, hyper-hyper-time and so on up.2 My aim in this paper is to defend the man in the street’s dynamic conception of time by answering this simple yet forceful argument. The sections are as follows: 1. Markosian and Prior on the passage of time 2. Markosian’s reply to the rate-of-passage arguments 3. Rates of passage and infinite regress arguments 4. Absolute lengths and absolute rates 5. An hour per hour all over again 6. Prior’s schema and the puzzle of passage 7. Summary and conclusion Appendix: Shoemaker worlds 1 For a run-down of various related “isms” and the various names in play for them, see Sider 2001 or the introduction to Gale 1967.

  • Knowledge As a Mental State Forthcoming in Oxford Studies in Epistemology
    Jennifer Nagel – September 28, 2011 Knowledge as a mental state Forthcoming in Oxford Studies in Epistemology ABSTRACT: In the philosophical literature on mental states, the paradigmatic examples of mental states are beliefs, desires, intentions, and phenomenal states such as being in pain. The corresponding list in the psychological literature on mental state attribution incluDes one further member: the state of knowledge. This article examines the reasons why developmental, comparative anD social psychologists have classifieD knowleDge as a mental state, while most recent philosophers--with the notable exception of Timothy Williamson-- have not. The disagreement is traced back to a difference in how each side unDerstanDs the relationship between the concepts of knowledge anD belief, concepts which are unDerstooD in both Disciplines to be closely linkeD. Psychologists anD philosophers other than Williamson have generally have disagreed about which of the pair is prior and which is derivative. The rival claims of priority are examineD both in the light of philosophical arguments by Williamson anD others, anD in the light of empirical work on mental state attribution. One striking feature of research into mental state ascription or ‘mindreading’ is the extent to which it has involved cooperation between psychology and philosophy. Contemporary empirical work on mindreading is often traced back to a 1978 target article in comparative psychology, an article which raised the question of whether chimpanzees attribute mental states to themselves and others (Premack & Woodruff, 1978). Three of the most influential responses published with that article were written by philosophers, each of whom drew attention to the importance of probing the capacity to represent states of ignorance and false belief (Bennett, 1978; Dennett, 1978; Harman, 1978).

  • Ibn Rushd and the Enlightenment Project in the Islamic World
    Religions 2015, 6, 1082–1106; doi:10.3390/rel6031082 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article Qur’anic Interpretation and the Problem of Literalism: Ibn Rushd and the Enlightenment Project in the Islamic World Chryssi Sidiropoulou Department of Philosophy, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Boğaziçi University, TB 350, Bebek 343 42, Istanbul, Turkey; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +90-212-3595400 (ext. 7210); Fax: +90-212-2872469 Academic Editor: Jonathan Hill Received: 4 May 2015 / Accepted: 26 August 2015 / Published: 11 September 2015 Abstract: This article examines the claim that Ibn Rushd of Cordoba (“Averroës,” 12th century B.C.) is a precursor of the Enlightenment and a source of inspiration for the emancipation of contemporary Islamic societies. The paper critically discusses the fascination that Ibn Rushd has exercised on several thinkers, from Ernest Renan to Salman Rushdie, and highlights the problem of literalism in Qur’anic interpretation. Based on Ibn Rushd’s Decisive Treatise (Fasl al-maqāl), the paper investigates Ibn Rushd’s proposed division of (Muslim) society into three distinct classes. The main question here is whether there is a substantial link between the people of the Muslim community, given the three distinct kinds of assent (tasdīq) introduced by Ibn Rushd. I argue that if such a link cannot be supplied, then it is hard to see in Ibn Rushd an enlightened social model for today’s Muslim societies. Furthermore, that the great majority of people are prevented from having any contact with non-literal interpretation of the Scripture and non-revealed ways of thinking.
