To that end, it presents the first comprehensive reading of James through the lens of liberal rather than scientific naturalism. Chapter 1 offers an extensive survey of the varieties of philosophical naturalism that provides the conceptual tools required for the rest the thesis, and allows us to provisionally locate James within the field.

  • The Italian Cultural Institute in New York Announces
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Italian Cultural Institute in New York announces an International Conference ON THE ASHES OF POST-MODERNISM: A NEW REALISM Initiative of the Framework Program “Slowness and Quality” promoted by La Fondazione (NYC) Sponsored by Alitalia Italian Cultural Institute, New York Monday November 7, 2011 9:50am – 5:20pm NY, November 7, 2011 The recent years of economic crisis and geopolitical transformations have led post- modernism to a critical point. Tenets such as the one that reality is socially constructed and ceaselessly modifiable, and that truth and objectivity are untenable notions are increasingly showing signs of rejection by a growing number of thinkers. The “facts” cannot be reduced to interpretations and strike back claiming a “new realism”. World famous public intellectuals Umberto Eco and Hilary Putnam and prominent philosophers Akeel Bilgrami, Giovanna Borradori , Ned Block, Paul Boghossian , Petar Bojanic, Mario De Caro, Maurizio Ferraris, Markus Gabriel, Alvin Goldman, Armando Massarenti and Riccardo Viale will discuss the return of “strong” ideas after decades of “weak” thinking. Implications are not only logical, ontological, and epistemological, but also widely social, psychological, and ethical. Umberto Eco (born 5 January 1932) is an Italian expert of semiotics, essayist, philosopher, literary critic, and novelist, best known for his novel “The Name of the Rose” (Il Nome della Rosa, 1980), an intellectual mystery combining semiotics in fiction, biblical analysis, medieval studies and literary theory. He has also written academic texts, children's books and many essays. Eco is the founder of the Dipartimento di Comunicazione at the Università di San Marino , President of the Scuola Superiore di Studi Umanistici, Università di Bologna , member of the Accademia dei Lincei (since November 2010) and an Honorary Fellow of Kellogg College, University of Oxford .

  • Project Abstract the Summer Program for Diversity in Logic for Undergraduates Builds Upon the PIKSI Summer Program Model, Focusi
    Project Abstract The Summer Program for Diversity in Logic for Undergraduates builds upon the PIKSI Summer Program Model, focusing on Logic, an area in philosophy needing to increase diversity. We request seed funding for the pilot run of the program in May of 2016, when we will offer 12 students the opportunity to explore an exciting research theme in Logic –Paradoxes—receive small-group tutoring in formal techniques, receive mentoring and support for professionalization, experience validation, understanding and advice regarding diversity issues they have encountered –sexism, racism, ableism (and which the students may worry about encountering them in the profession), and develop a sense of community with students and faculty with whom they can identify and, in turn, come to strengthen their own identities. Project Purpose Our goal is to empower students to conceive of themselves as aspiring logicians, philosophers of logic and formal philosophers who belong in our profession. As Audrey Yap has noted, a majority of philosophy majors encounter some logic as a part of their undergraduate curriculum. Increasing diversity in logic is not simply a problem of exposure, but concretely addressing underlying pressures women and minority students experience, particularly stereotype threat and pernicious ideas about “natural aptitude.” (1) These pressures are especially strong in the subfield of logic, where almost no women and minorities have contributed to the research literature until very recently, and women and minorities remain underrepresented to a higher degree than in philosophy more broadly. Women and minorities learning logic can be vulnerable to feeling that a field like logic, that tends to be male and white dominated on the whole, is not welcoming to them.

  • On Physical Multiple Realization
    ON PHYSICAL MULTIPLE REALIZATION BY RONALD P. ENDICOTT Perhaps no argument has done more to set the direction of contemporary philosophy of mind than the “multiple realizability argument.” First championed by Hilary Putnam and later reformulated by Jerry Fodor, the argument begins with the observation that a given psychological property can be realized by any number of diverse physical systems, and then ends with the conclusion that psychological properties are irreducible vis-à-vis the physical sciences.^ Its target, in other words, is type physicalism and the unity of science, as traditionally conceived. According to one popular criticism, however, the multiple realizability argument has been discredited by the fact that physical properties are also multiply realized} But this, I believe, is a mistake. While the criticism does serve to bring a number of important issues into better focus, it can be shown that the facts about physical multiple realization are perfectly consistent with the Putnam-Fodor style argument, and that, when such facts are rightly understood, they do not vitiate the original point about the irreducibility of psychological properties. /. Multiple Realization In spite of much talk about multiple realization, philosophers have generally been content to leave this central concept unanalyzed. I shall try to remedy this situation by indicating the two most salient features of the concept. First, there is the idea that a property is realized by a number of diverse states, which I take to mean that different state types can provide lawfully sufficient conditions for the instantiation of the multiply realized property. And second, there is the idea that among this range of diverse Pacific Philosophical Quarterly 70 (1989) 212-224 0279-0750/89/0300-0212 $01.30 Copyright © 1989 University of Southern California ON PHYSICAL MULTIPLE REALIZATION 213 states, there are no lawfully necessary and sufficient conditions for the instantiation of that property.
