  • Gideon Rosen Gideon Rosen Is a Professor of Metaphysics, Ethics, Metaethics, and Philosophy of Mathematics at Princeton University
    Department of Philosophy The Annual Class of 1970 Lecture MANAGING MORAL OUTRAGE: How Philosophy Can Change Your (Emotional) Life Gideon Rosen Gideon Rosen is a professor of metaphysics, ethics, metaethics, and philosophy of mathematics at Princeton University. He currently serves as Chair of Princeton’s Philosophy Department in addition to holding the position of Stuart Professor of Philosophy. Since joining the department at Princeton in 1993, Rosen has proved to be a prolific scholar in his various specializations. He is most noted for proposing the idea of modal fictionalism in metaphysics. Perhaps his most recognized work is A Subject with No Object: Strategies for Nominalist Reconstrual in Mathematics (1997), coauthored with John Burgess. Rosen is no stranger to Rutgers and has collaborated with various Rutgers professors on papers and books. He completed his B.A. at Columbia University, where he graduated summa cum laude, and completed his Ph.D. at Princeton University. Rosen has held a Hauser Fellowship in Global Law at NYU Law School and a Whiting Fellowship at Princeton. He is also a John Jay Scholar via Columbia University and served as Chair of the Council of the Humanities at Princeton from 2006 to 2014. Abstract: You can change your emotional state by taking a pill, but you can also change it by giving yourself reasons. This lecture explores the basis for this deep connection between reason and emotion and then argues that philosophy, with its distinctive battery of reasons and arguments, can motivate pervasive and potentially valuable changes in how we respond emotionally to events in our own lives and the wider world.

    ON “ON WHAT THERE IS”* BY JODY AZZOUNI Abstract: All sides in the recent debates over the Quine-Putnam Indispensability thesis presuppose Quine’s criterion for determining what a discourse is ontologically committed to. I subject the criterion to scrutiny, especially in regard to the available competitor-criteria, asking what means of evaluation there are for comparing alternative criteria against each other. Finding none, the paper concludes that ontological questions, in a certain sense, are philosophically indeterminate. (What is C. trying to pull?) marginalia on Quine’s copy of a letter from Carnap 1. A lot of philosophy of mathematics is motivated by considerations arising from what has come to be called the Quine-Putnam indispensability thesis;1 the claim, roughly, that if one’s best scientific (physical) theory requires existential quantification over certain entities, then one is onto- logically committed to such entities.2 Many books in this area, such as Chihara (1990), Field (1980), Hellman (1989), and Maddy (1990), draw their philosophical raison d’être from the view that scientific theories commit us to the existence of mathematical objects this way. The indispensability thesis, it seems, drives philosophers to hard choices: rewrite one’s science, rewrite one’s mathematics, or regretfully embrace extravagant ontologies. It’s quite unsurprising, therefore, that such a seminal claim has once again come under intense scrutiny; and equally unsurprising, I guess, to find philosophers on both sides of the philosophical fence.

  • On the Methodological Role of Marxism in Merleau-Ponty's
    On the Methodological Role of Marxism in Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology Abstract While contemporary scholarship on Merleau-Ponty virtually overlooks his postwar existential Marxism, this paper argues that the conception of history contained in the latter plays a signifi- cant methodological role in supporting the notion of truth that operates within Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological analyses of embodiment and the perceived world. This is because this con- ception regards the world as an unfinished task, such that the sense and rationality attributed to its historical emergence conditions the phenomenological evidence used by Merleau-Ponty. The result is that the content of Phenomenology of Perception should be seen as implicated in the normative framework of Humanism and Terror. Keywords: Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology, Methodology, Marxism, History On the Methodological Role of Marxism in Merleau-Ponty’s Phenomenology In her 2007 book Merleau-Ponty and Modern Politics after Anti-Humanism, Diana Coole made the claim (among others) that Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology is “profoundly and intrinsically political,”1 and in particular that it would behoove readers of his work to return to the so-called ‘communist question’ as he posed it in the immediate postwar period.2 For reasons that basical- ly form the substance of this paper, I think that these claims are generally correct and well- taken. But this is in spite of the fact that they go very distinctly against the grain of virtually all contemporary scholarship on Merleau-Ponty. For it is the case that very few scholars today – and this is particularly true of philosophers – have any serious interest in the political dimen- sions of Merleau-Ponty’s work.

  • The Temporal Structure of Patience MICHAEL R
    PhænEx 13, no. 2 (Winter 2020): 86-102 © 2020 Michael R. Kelly The Temporal Structure of Patience MICHAEL R. KELLY Phenomenology’s technical terminology can often seem to invalidate the natural attitude phenomenology aims to elucidate. One notable exception to this worry is Moral Emotions: Reclaiming the Evidence of the Heart, in which Anthony Steinbock remains faithful to, and profoundly elucidates, the lived-experience of moral emotions, describing the how and the what of emotive acts such as pride, shame, repentance, hope, etc. (Kelly). Steinbock’s work in general reveals a practicing phenomenologist who “liberates the ‘matters’ that we experience so that what they are … and their very appearing are not taken for granted in the experience” (Moral Emotions 17-18). Precise and meticulous concrete analyses of the intentional structure of everyday life (the natural attitude) pervade his writings. In his introduction to Moral Emotions, Steinbock specifically notes the importance of dwelling on the everyday: [S]ometimes … mundane examples … may be elucidating … [I]n the phenomenological method, the very simplicity and commonness of the example is no longer taken for granted in using it as an example, and to this extent, its immediacy is transcended in the direction of that which enables the situation to arise as such, toward the originality of the very banality. By bringing such common examples into focus … we go beyond the commonness of the example, and this opens a new world of meaning … that was taken for granted. The point is to see the fundamental … mystery in the ordinary but now as it is taken for granted.

  • Markets Not Capitalism Explores the Gap Between Radically Freed Markets and the Capitalist-Controlled Markets That Prevail Today
    individualist anarchism against bosses, inequality, corporate power, and structural poverty Edited by Gary Chartier & Charles W. Johnson Individualist anarchists believe in mutual exchange, not economic privilege. They believe in freed markets, not capitalism. They defend a distinctive response to the challenges of ending global capitalism and achieving social justice: eliminate the political privileges that prop up capitalists. Massive concentrations of wealth, rigid economic hierarchies, and unsustainable modes of production are not the results of the market form, but of markets deformed and rigged by a network of state-secured controls and privileges to the business class. Markets Not Capitalism explores the gap between radically freed markets and the capitalist-controlled markets that prevail today. It explains how liberating market exchange from state capitalist privilege can abolish structural poverty, help working people take control over the conditions of their labor, and redistribute wealth and social power. Featuring discussions of socialism, capitalism, markets, ownership, labor struggle, grassroots privatization, intellectual property, health care, racism, sexism, and environmental issues, this unique collection brings together classic essays by Cleyre, and such contemporary innovators as Kevin Carson and Roderick Long. It introduces an eye-opening approach to radical social thought, rooted equally in libertarian socialism and market anarchism. “We on the left need a good shake to get us thinking, and these arguments for market anarchism do the job in lively and thoughtful fashion.” – Alexander Cockburn, editor and publisher, Counterpunch “Anarchy is not chaos; nor is it violence. This rich and provocative gathering of essays by anarchists past and present imagines society unburdened by state, markets un-warped by capitalism.

  • “Come on Lads”
    “COME ON LADS” ON “COME “COME ON LADS” Old Wesley Collegians and the Gallipoli Campaign Philip J Powell Philip J Powell FOREWORD Congratulations, Philip Powell, for producing this short history. It brings to life the experiences of many Old Boys who died at Gallipoli and some who survived, only to be fatally wounded in the trenches or no-man’s land of the western front. Wesley annually honoured these names, even after the Second World War was over. The silence in Adamson Hall as name after name was read aloud, almost like a slow drum beat, is still in the mind, some seventy or more years later. The messages written by these young men, or about them, are evocative. Even the more humdrum and everyday letters capture, above the noise and tension, the courage. It is as if the soldiers, though dead, are alive. Geoffrey Blainey AC (OW1947) Front cover image: Anzac Cove - 1915 Australian War Memorial P10505.001 First published March 2015.

  • Ancap Conversion Therapy
    AnCap Conversion Therapy By @ C ats A nd K alash Introduction This is a list of videos, essays, and books to introduce AnCaps and other Right-Libertarians to Left- Libertarianism. Not ALL opinions held by the listed authors and creators reflect my personal beliefs. My intention with this document is to provide enough introductory resources to dispel misconceptions Right- Libertarians may have about the left and allow them to see things from a more left-wing perspective. Yes the title is a little cheeky but it’s all in good fun. I ask any Right-Libertarians who come across this document view the listed content with an open mind. I think it’s important we all try to scrutinize our own beliefs and ask ourselves if our current positions are truly consistent with the values we hold, values of liberty, justice, etc. I also ask that you don’t watch just one video and come to a conclusion, this is a list for a reason. You don’t have to read/watch everything in one sitting, you can bookmark or download the list and come back to different parts of it later. What is Left-Libertarianism? “Left-Libertarianism” can be used to refer to different things, but in the context of this document it refers to a specific group of ideologies or tendencies which heavily revolve around Libertarian values and to varying extents, free markets. Mutualism, Individualist-Anarchism, and Agorism can all be considered “Left-Libertarian” tendencies. Some may also include Georgism and Left-Rothbardianism in that list as well.

  • Compositionality and the Metaphysics of Meaning

Dedicated to Helen Fedorkiw Abstract The principle of compositionality states that the meaning of a complex expression is determined by the meanings of its con- stituent parts and the way those parts are combined. Jerry Fodor has argued that semantic productivity and systematicity requires compositionality and that compositionality requires atomism about semantic values. Atomism is here the thesis that there are simple meanings which are assigned to grammatical terms completely inde- pendent of any other (i.e.
