  • Philosophy Reviewed
    Unpublished Reviews Philosophy Reviewed Wednesday, July 11, 2018 Minds and Machines on Causality and the Brain June 2018, Volume 28, Issue 2, This volume of Minds and Machines is the product of a conference, which seems largely to have determined the contributions. Although purportedly about science, the essays are often principally directed at those philosophers of science who do not understand the banalities of the sciences they write about or are interested in. (Scientists tend to like this kind of stuff, because it is people saying what the scientists know or think. Everyone likes cheerleading.) Only one of the essays, Romeijin and Williamson's, makes any contribution a brain scientist could conceivably use. Romeijin and Williamson, Intervention and Identification in Latent Variable Modeling The authors actually do something. They show that if X, Y, L are binary, and L is the common cause of X, Y, and X, Y are measured and L is unmeasured and there and there are no other causal relations between X and Y, then an exogenous perturbation of the distribution of L allows identification of p(X | L) and p(Y | L) (and of course, p(X,Y | L) for all values of L, without knowledge of the distributions of L before and after perturbation except that the distributions are different. Of course, it isn't true if the relation between X, Y and L is linear, or if besides the common cause, X influences Y, or if L has more than two values, etc. The authors give no empirical example that realizes their result.

My research examines the selected poems for their reimagination of the sacred perceived through attachments to particular places. For these writers, poetry is a constitutive practice, part of a way of life that includes desire for wise participation in the more-than-human community. Taking into account the poets’ critical reflections and historical-cultural contexts, along with a range of critical and philosophical sources, the poetry is examined as a discursive spiritual exercise. It is seen as conjoined with other focal practices of place, notably meditative walking and attentive looking and listening under the influence of ecospiritual eros.

Jan Zwicky In this essay, I argue, via a revision of Freud’s notions of primary and secondary process, that experiences of resonant form lie at the root of many serious ineffability claims. I suggest further that Western European culture’s resistance to the perception of resonant form underlies some of its present crises. Is there anything that is genuinely ineffable? If so, how is it possible to think about it or to understand it? It is fashionable in some philosophical circles to express impatience with these ques- tions. The word ‘ineffable’, some will urge, is itself a predicate—one that obviously cannot be predicated of anything on pain of self-contradiction.1 Others, content to dismiss the paradox as a minor metalinguistic knot, nonetheless assert

  • Counterfactual Desirability
    Counterfactual Desirability Richard Bradley and H. Orri Stef´ansson Abstract The desirability of what actually occurs is often influenced by what could have been. Preferences based on such value dependencies between actual and counterfactual outcomes generate a class of problems for orthodox deci- sion theory, the best-known perhaps being the so-called Allais Paradox. In this paper we solve these problems by extending Richard Jeffrey’s decision theory to counterfactual prospects, using a multidimensional possible-world semantics for conditionals, and showing that preferences that are sensitive to counterfactual considerations can still be desirability maximising. We end the paper by investigating the conditions necessary and sufficient for a desirability function to be a standard expected utility function. It turns out that the additional conditions imply highly implausible epistemic principles. 1. Two Paradoxes of Rational Choice 2. Jeffrey Desirability 3.

    Introduction: What Is Lyric Philosophy? Warren Heiti Philosophy and Literature, Volume 39, Number 1, April 2015, pp. 188-201 (Article) Published by Johns Hopkins University Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/phl.2015.0000 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/593935 Accessed 27 Nov 2017 14:31 GMT In Focus: Reflections on Lyric Philosophy Warren Heiti INTRODUCTION: WHAT IS LYRIC PHILOSOPHY? Abstract. What is lyric philosophy? The clearest response to that ques- tion is the book-length investigation by Canadian philosopher and poet Jan Zwicky. If philosophy can be defined as thinking in love with clarity, then lyric philosophy might be roughly understood as such thinking in which clarity assumes the form of resonance. Among her paradigmatic lyric philosophers, Zwicky includes (inter alia) the aphorists Herakleitos and Ludwig Wittgenstein. Lyric is distinguished by its deep structure, which is polydimensional and integrative. Epistemically, this structure responds to the gestural root of meaning, which is ineffably manifest in the physical world. hat is lyric philosophy? The clearest response to that question Wconsists in roughly six hundred pages: a book-length meditation that incorporates the philosophical forms of aphorism and dialogue and the musical form of polyphony in an integrative effort to show what it means: namely Lyric Philosophy, by the Canadian philosopher, poet, and musician Jan Zwicky.1 Importantly, criteria for the concept of lyric philosophy are never stipulated in that book, and refraining from such stipulation is connected with the very nature of the investigation. “Lyric meaning,” writes Zwicky, “is proto-linguistic. It underlies and informs linguistic meaning but is, at the same time, broader in scope.

Although seldom paired by criticis, their scholarly and creative methods are comparable, serving as examples of lyric – a term that, through Zwicky’s work especially, signifies a contemporary movement in Éditeur(s) which poets and scholars resist what they see as prescriptive and unethical programs for academic pursuit. By allowing diverse genres of research and University of New Brunswick, Dept. of English writing to infiltrate their writings, Carson and Zwicky have helped bring the political assumptions and cultural ramifications of certain academic ISSN conventions to light. Notably, in two controversial critiques of these writers and their work, David Solway and Zach Wells implicitly attribute the lyric 0380-6995 (imprimé) approach to a markedly feminine and naive intellectual stance.

Ortiz. “In the course of this alleged conspiracy, they managed to chase a legitimate business out of the City of Boston and then harassed the cast and crew when they set up shop in Milton. This kind of conduct reflects poorly on our city and must be addressed for what it is – not union organizing, but criminal extortion.” “While unions have the right to advocate on behalf of their members, they do not have the right to use violence and intimidation,” said Joseph R. Bonavolonta, Acting Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Boston Field Division. “The strong-arm tactics the FBI has seen in this case are egregious and our investigation is far from over. Today’s arrests should send a message to those who think they can get away with manipulating the system that they better think twice.” Mark Harrington, 61, of Andover; John Fidler, 51, of Holbrook; Daniel Redmond, 47, of Medford; Robert Cafarelli, 45, of Middleton; and Richard Jeffrey, 55, of Woburn, were indicted on conspiracy to extort and attempted extortion of a television production company in order to obtain no-work jobs for fellow Teamsters.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.
