Abstract:

Heroes are often admired for their ability to act without having “one thought too many,” as Bernard Williams put it. Likewise, the unhesitating decisions of masterful athletes and artists are part of their fascination. Examples like these make clear that spontaneity can represent an ideal. However, recent literature in empirical psychology has shown how vulnerable our spontaneous inclinations can be to bias, shortsightedness, and irrationality. How can we make sense of these different roles that spontaneity plays in our lives? The central contention of this book is that understanding these two

Abstract:

Across both virtue and vice cases, spontaneity has the potential to give rise to actions that seem “unowned.” Agents may lack self-awareness, control, and reasons-responsiveness in paradigmatic cases. But these are actions nevertheless, in the sense that they are not mere happenings. While agents may be passive in an important sense when acting spontaneously, they are not thereby necessarily victims of forces acting upon them (from either “outside” or “inside” their own bodies and minds). The central claim of this chapter is that spontaneous actions can be, in central cases, “attributable” to

Abstract:

The postmodern and secular culture of the West requires a new reflection on God. The Implicit Theology of the Lord’s Prayer: A Biblical and Theological Investigation reflects on God on the basis of an original and central expression of the Christian faith: the Lord’s Prayer. First, Jan Muis interprets the divine names central to this prayer in their biblical contexts. Next, Muis understands the divine attributes implied by these names from the biblical narrative of God’s self-revealing actions, and explains them in a contemporary framework. God’s Name indicates his particular personal presence

Abstract:

The preceding chapter established that paradigmatic spontaneous actions can be “ours” in the sense that they reflect upon us as agents. But a number of questions remain about the relationship between the implicit mind and the self. First, what exactly is the relationship between cares and action, such that actions can “reflect upon” cares? Second, when an action reflects upon what one cares about, is one thereby responsible for that action? In other words, are we responsible for the spontaneous actions in which our implicit attitudes are implicated? Third, do implicit attitudes reflect who we

The Avett Brothers sing of a spiritual yearning present in modern culture. Without being overtly religious, theological underpinnings are prevalent in their music. The contributors in this book delve into the Avett Brother's explicit and implicit theology with an eye on how they help make sense of our secular age. Theology and the Avett Brothers offers a rich contemplation on how these brothers from North Carolina help listeners navigate the religious consciousness of today's world, exploring themes like the good life, virtue formation, empathy, ministry models, and dying.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the implications of Iris Murdoch’s distinctive conception of value experience for the possibility of a value objectivism and what is sometimes called the ‘absolute conception’, which is implicit in many contemporary debates about thick evaluative concepts. It argues for a robust realist reading of the claim that the salient concepts of an individual’s life-world can be revelatory of value without appeal either to Platonism or value constitutivism. The chapter distinguishes two readings of the concept of ‘non-perspectival value’, an epistemic and a non-epistemic one, and a

‘Learning and remembering, reading and number’ considers children’s developing knowledge of their own cognition (meta-cognition) as they start education. How is memory developed? Children develop various kinds of memory, and all are important for learning in school. Psychologists divide memory into three main categories: semantic memory (generic, factual knowledge about the world), episodic memory (the ability to retrieve autobiographical events), and implicit or procedural memory (habits and skills). How do children deal with learning to read and write? How early do children think in terms of

Abstract:

Cultural knowledge allows people to engage the world seemingly effortlessly—their implicit expectations for how everyday experiences will unfold seem to match their observations, triggering a sense that all is right with the world and oneself. However, culture-based expectations are sometimes violated; yielding an experience of cultural disfluency that triggers increased systematic reasoning, reduces experienced inherence, and increases uncertainty about the world and one’s present and future self.

Abstract:

This chapter presents the phenomenological and hermeneutic philosophies that have been immensely relevant for qualitative research. Phenomenology began with Husserl and was continued by Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, and it was developed into tools for qualitative inquiry by scholars such as Giorgi. Hermeneutics dates back to Scheiermacher and Dilthey, and it was in a sense merged with phenomenology by Heidegger and brought up to date by Gadamer in particular. Many qualitative methodologies employ strategies from phenomenology and hermeneutics, which can be condensed to the essential idea of mak

Abstract:

This chapter argues that the symptom-as-aletheia concept can be better explained in the light of Jaspers’ concept of ‘cypher’. Cyphers show what without them would remain implicit for us. Symptoms are a special category of cyphers: through them alterity, that is, the hidden yet operative (and perplexing) dimension of our existence, is made manifest. Like symptoms, cyphers are the contingent opportunity of recognition, of a possible encounter between the person and the encompassing dimension of her existence. The cypher must keep on an inexhaustible signification with which no definite interpre

Abstract:

This chapter suggests two predominant modes of theorizing about the laws of war—one ‘internal’, the other ‘external’—both providing a useful shorthand for two relatively irreducible types of exercises. Internal theorizing makes sense of the discipline among its practitioners and within bounds that are taken for granted. It is minimal in that its ambition is largely instrumental: providing the practitioners of the laws of war with the background necessary for them to function. External theorizing is less interested in the laws of war as a system than as an object; it is less focused on explaini

Abstract:

This chapter is devoted to the consequences of Nietzsche’s expressivist conception of agency for his conception of the agent (or self). Commentators sometimes suggest that Nietzsche is a sceptic about the existence of the ‘self’ or that he reduces ‘selves’ (and hence agency) to a mere playing out of sub-personal drives. The argument here is that the self or agent implicit in Nietzsche’s expressivism cuts against such readings, and that his expressivism issues in a conception of the self that allows us to make sense of his twin commitments to fatalism on the one hand, and to the possibility of

Abstract:

This book is about the possibility and the prospects of making sense of non-propositional intentionality. Intentionality lies at the centre of a great deal of the philosophy of mind and, by and large, it is understood in propositional terms. Typically, the examples of intentionality deemed fundamental and the explanations of their natures rely on the idea of propositional content. But these commitments cannot go unquestioned and the (often implicit) acceptance of “propositionalism” has impeded philosophical discussion about the nature of intentionality in at least three noteworthy ways: (i) a

The need for consistency is identified regularly in the literature on the persistent objector rule, but this is often implicit or amalgamated/confused with the persistence criterion.

It then assesses the rationale for the consistency criterion, before turning to the important question of what ‘consistent objection’ in fact entails. The chapter then considers whether a state's objections must be ‘absolutely consistent’ (in the sense of any contrary practice being te

The argument at Phaedo 74 B 4‐C 6 that the equal itself is ‘something different from’ sets of physical equals depends on Leibniz's Law: there is a property that perceptible equals have that the equal itself does not have.

The ‘ontological interpretation’ holds that the property is not epistemic, but simply the property of being unequal (that is: physical equals suffer the compresence of opposites, while the equal itself does not).

Abstract:

The Hymn to Hermes offers a late archaic or early classical viewpoint on genre in lyric poetry. It compares hymns and theogonies to bantering songs at symposia, apparently in a paradox grounded in Hermes’ ability to control transfers across firm boundaries. However, the comparisons have a latent logic: the Hymn to Hermes is itself bantering intertextually with the Homeric Hymn to Apollo; it alludes to the fact that a komos can involve both praise-poetry and (post-)sympotic erotic songs. Moreover, Apollo’s first interaction with the lyre leads him to engage Hermes in a game of verbal banter, wh

This chapter weaves together two stories that are usually told separately. The first is the story of disability, especially how people have talked about bodies perceived as defective, deviant, or deformed. The second is the story of music, especially how music theorists have talked about musical features perceived as in some sense abnormal. Traditional music theory is a normalizing discourse, designed to rationalize abnormal musical elements (like formal anomalies or dissonant harmonies) with respect to normal ones, and it has thus implicitly allied itself with the medical model of disability.

Contemporary philosophy of perception is dominated by extremely polarized debates.

The guiding hypothesis underlying this volume is that such polarization stems from insufficient attention to how we should go about settling these debates.

This heuristic yields both the equation of the probability of ‘If A, C’ with the conditional probability of C on A and standard natural deduction rules for the conditional. However, t
