LEDUC.MACRO.FINAL_3.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 3/1/2017 6:51 PM Making the Premises about Constitutional Meaning Express: The New Originalism and Its Critics André LeDuc*1 ABSTRACT Perhaps the hottest front in the half-century-old debate over originalism turns on the introduction of semantics, pragmatics, and other techniques from the philosophy of language and linguistic the- ory. While in some ways these arguments simply build on the now familiar distinction between interpretation and construction defended by the New Originalism, the newest of the New Originalists purport to break new ground in the debate. The originalists argue that they have rehabilitated originalism so as to avoid the criticisms that had been leveled against earlier versions, including those leveled against earlier versions of New Originalism. The newest critics argue that the sophisticated tools of linguistic philosophy, when properly ap- plied in their hands, offer new and decisive challenges to originalism, including the newest of the New Originalisms.

  • Soames on Ethics
    SOAMES ON ETHICS Thomas Hurka University of Toronto Though primarily focussed on philosophy of language, metaphysics, and epistemology, Scott Soames’s Philosophical Analysis in the Twentieth Century contains several discussions of ethics. Volume 1 contains two chapters on Moore’s ethics, one on the emotivism of Ayer and Stevenson, and one on Ross; Volume 2 adds a chapter on Hare’s prescriptivism. The bulk of the Moore chapters as well as the ones on emotivism and Hare concern metaethics, but there is also discussion of Moore’s normative views and the chapter on Ross is entirely normative. Since there is no material on ethics after Hare, the book concentrates on figures from the first half of the century. But there is much of interest in what it says about them. Soames discusses these figures without much reference to the recent literature on them or their philosophical problems, but his book is none the worse for that. Since ethics is not his main area of expertise, there are, not surprisingly, some historical inaccuracies, but they mostly concern matters of detail. On the larger issues he nicely picks out these philosophers’ most important ideas, even when they are not highlighted in their texts, and his criticisms go to the heart of those ideas; in several cases they are also novel. In this paper I will concentrate on an objection he raises against Moore’s ethics that connects to one of his book’s central themes. In his “Introduction” Soames identifies two main achievements of 20th-century analytic philosophy. One is the successful understanding of the concepts of logical consequence, logical truth, necessary truth, and a priori truth.

    GENDER CRITICAL AT WORK Search MENU tuesday march 30 2021 Linda Bellos had said she would be ‘publicly questioning’ some transgender politics ROGER ASKEW Linda Bellos barred in Cambridge University row James Gillespie and Sian Griffiths Sunday October 01 2017, 12.01am, The Sunday Times Share Save A leading feminist has had an invitation to speak at Cambridge University withdrawn amid concerns that transgender activists could oppose her. Linda Bellos had been invited by the Beard Society at Peterhouse College and sent a list of dates — which were withdrawn after she said she would be “publicly questioning some of the trans politics . which seems to assert the power of those who were previously designated male to tell lesbians, and especially lesbian feminists, what to say and think”. Ailish Maroof, the co-president of the society, which describes itself as a “gender and feminism” group, replied: “I’m sorry but we’ve decided not to host you. I too believe in freedom of expression, however Peterhouse is as much a home as it is a college. The welfare of our students in this instance has to come first.” The prospect of laws to let men redefine their gender without a physical transition and then gain access to changing rooms and women’s refuges has angered many. “I’m not being told by someone who a few months ago was a man what I as a woman can or cannot do,” Bellos said. Maroof declined to comment.

Basic mathematical background. Proof of the first theorem (G1). Four to five meet- ings. 1 C. Modifications of the proof of the first theorem, esp. Rosser's modification. One to two meetings. D.

  • The Concept of the “Polylogue” and the Question of “Intercultural” Identity
    Intercultural Communication Studies XIX: 3 2010 Chen The Concept of the “Polylogue” and the Question of “Intercultural” Identity Hsueh-i Chen, National Taiwan Normal University In this study, two different ideas will be analyzed, the concept of the polylogue, which was developed by Franz Martin Wimmer, and the assumption of an intercultural identity. The complementary relationship between the two ideas will be expounded. In a polylogue, individuals are confronted with several dialogue partners from different cultures simultaneously; the term is used to emphasize that many perspectives need to be considered, rather than just two, as the word dialogue seems to imply. Due to its different approach, the idea of the polylogue will profoundly affect the structure of intercultural communication. This study also takes the multicultural nature of actual reality into account, presupposes the human ability to accept different cultures, and attempts to explore the relations between interculturally capable individuals and multicultural society. Under the assistance of a conception of an intercultural identity, finding one’s identity not only involves one’s own pre-existing tradition but also includes influences from other cultures as well. Employing the concept of the polylogue and relying on the human capacity for multicultural acceptance, individuals should be able to construct their own personal intercultural identities and communicate with others interculturally. The concept and term polylogue stems from Franz Martin Wimmer (Wimmer, 2004), a contemporary Austrian philosopher who employs the concept in order to surmount the so- called Eurocentrism in philosophical thinking. Not only does he criticize the standard, narrow-minded way of philosophizing, in using the term polylogue, he also intends to reject every possible form of cultural centrism, such as Sinocentrism and Americacentrism.
