Full text

Abstract:

This chapter applies the theory of temporal neutrality to the Lazarus problem: the problem of explaining when (if ever) it is prudentially rational to prefer an afterlife (any period of extended conscious existence after some irreversible radical change) over annihilation. The chapter considers three questions we might ask when determining the value of our afterlife. Would it be worthwhile to live in the new state? How different is it from our current life? What would it be like? Call these the satisfaction, difference, and phenomenological questions respectively. The chapter argues that we only need to answer the first question if we want to determine whether to prefer an afterlife and proposes the Weak Forecasting for Life Extension principle as a solution to the Lazarus problem. The chapter addresses worries raised by several cases (e.g., Still Alice, Parfit’s Russian Nobleman, Paul’s Vampire) that involve cognitive difference or failures in phenomenological projection.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter examines how the anticommunist movement created the so-called Spider Web Chart that articulated its narrative of a vast and deadly conspiracy against America mounted from within by Bolshevik spies, agents, and dupes. Representatives of government, big business, high finance, and the military were linked ever tightly by the rallying cause of anticommunism. The anticommunist movement sought to coherently define their cause and promote it in the wider community. Soon enough, the movement produced its ideal propaganda in an image that satisfied its members' political and psychological needs: the Spider Web Chart. Produced by the Chemical Warfare Service of the US Army, the chart proved to be a scheme of unique power, ideal for spreading the message of anticommunism. This chapter first considers how the Spider Web Chart was conceptualized before discussing its enduring effects. It shows that the Spider Web Chart encouraged anticommunists to develop an extensive and highly connected network of kindred associations and a monolithic ideology.

Full text

Abstract:

A number of questions concerning the precise formulation of causal finitism—mainly, the question of what causal relation counts for generating causal histories—are raised, and solutions are surveyed. It turns out that the Grim Reaper paradox is more subtle than we saw in Chapter 3, and requires careful consideration. Alternatives to causal finitism are considered. The three main ones are: finitism simpliciter, the no-room theory on which space and time lack the room for paradoxical infinities, and Huemer’s rejection of infinite intensive magnitudes. Finitism was already rejected in Chapter 1 on grounds of conflict with mathematics. The no-room solution only works if it implies causal finitism. And Huemer’s solution has some serious difficulties. Finally, extensions of causal finitism to rule out causal loops and infinite explanatory chains are considered.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on Locke’s attempts to prove in the Essay II. xiii. 11–14 that we have distinct ideas of body and of extension. The goal is both to evaluate this anti-Cartesian foray, and to use it to reflect on some intriguing and abstruse elements of Descartes’s ontology of body. The chapter shows that Locke’s engagement with Descartes goes surprisingly deep on this issue. It illustrates how many of Locke’s points on space, extension, and solidity are clarified by seeing them as responding to Descartes’s correspondence with More, in which Descartes specifically says that impenetrability results from extension.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter examines how concepts relate to lexical meanings. It focuses on how we can appeal to concepts to give specific, cognitively rich contents to lexical entries, while at the same time using standard methods of compositional semantics. This is a problem, as those methods assume lexical meanings provide extensions, while concepts are mental representations that have very different structure from an extension. The chapter proposes a way to solve this problem which is by casting concepts in a metasemantic role for certain expressions, notably verbs, but more also generally, with expressions that function as content-giving predicates in a sentence.

Full text

Abstract:

The unicept for an individual, kind, property, activity, and so forth is supplied with new connections by a supporting unitracker whose job is to recognize sensory manifestations of the unicept’s referent/extension. The unitracker brings to a single focus information about the same that has been dispersed through different media so as to affect the senses in a variety of ways. It is embodied in a web of connections leading from sensory input to implement recognition of its object, helping to supply information that connects its unicept to other unicepts or to action potentials. One way in which natural information arrives at the sensory surfaces is through language. The phonological structure of a language is designed to make the unitracking of its meaningful units maximally easy and accurate.

Smart, Paul. Emerging Digital Technologies. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198769811.003.0015.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter explores the cognitive and epistemic implications of emerging digital technologies from the standpoint of two philosophical positions: active externalism and virtue reliabilism. Emerging digital technologies (especially those associated with the Internet and World Wide Web) are important because they help to highlight issues that are not so easily revealed by the rather mundane and technologically low-grade examples favored by the philosophical community. The present analysis suggests that the general thrust of technology design is largely consistent with the criteria that have been used to evaluate putative cases of cognitive extension. In addition, the present analysis suggests that active externalism and virtue reliabilism are broadly compatible when it comes to the notion of extended knowledge. Despite this, a consideration of both the properties of emerging digital technologies and the requirements for extended knowledge reveals something of an unexpected tension between our prospective status as extended cognizers and extended knowers.

Abstract:

This article appears in theOxford Handbook of New Audiovisual Aestheticsedited by John Richardson, Claudia Gorbman, and Carol Vernallis. “Multimedia” is not simply a genre category but also a mentality. Aesthetic thinking has been conditioned by text-based approaches according to which meaning is inherent. By contrast, multimedia practice and theory are predicated on dynamic interaction of media and generation of emergent meaning in real time. Digital and Internet technologies have enabled significant extension of multimedia practices, transforming principles of montage and extreme intertextuality into a core cultural practice. The chapter illustrates this through a case study of the remix trio Eclectic Method, whose work ranges from Web-based multimedia to live performance and from subversion of copyright to innovative forms of marketing for multinational corporations. The chapter also considers the collision between such practices and intellectual property law, which identifies creativity with individual authorship. The media business has been based on the exploitation of intellectual property, but aesthetic and technological developments suggest that it is becoming a service industry.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter highlights the importance of considering people as integral to foodwebs. Despite extensive recent research on coupled human-natural systems, lacking are models that incorporate human behavior in a way that yields pragmatic insights into the management of multispecies fisheries. Using the US West Coast commercial fisheries system as a case study, this chapter develops a novel network approach of linking the social system (i.e., fishing communities) to the ecological system (the fish). The analysis reveals that fisheries that seem unconnected biologically, such as benthic Dungeness crabs and pelagic tuna, can in fact be strongly linked by fishing vessels that are active in both fisheries. Understanding how human behavior connects seemingly disparate ecological systems has important implications for fisheries managers seeking to balance human well-being with sustainable populations of fish.

Full text

Abstract:

Chapter 2 articulates and defends the claim that our semantic expressions ‘denotes’, ‘extension’, and ‘true’ are context-sensitive. The chapter focuses on three simple paradoxes of denotation, extension, and truth. Two phenomena emerge as we reason through these paradoxes. First, the phenomenon of repetition: in the course of our reasoning, we produce a repetition of the paradoxical expression. This repetition, though composed of the very same words as the paradoxical expression, is semantically unproblematic and has a definite value. Second, the phenomenon of rehabilitation: we can reflect on the paradoxical expression, taking into account its pathology, and produce an unproblematic semantic value for it. Repetition and rehabilitation are explained contextually, drawing on the work of Stalnaker and Lewis (and others) on context-change.

Abstract:

Chapter 10 investigates the consequences of the singularity theory for deflationary theories in general and disquotational theories in particular. The chapter argues that if we accept the singularity theory, we must reject deflationary theories of truth, denotation, and extension. The phenomena of repetition and rehabilitation (introduced in Chapter 2, and discussed throughout the book) show that pathological expressions, such as Liar sentences, may be successfully assigned semantic values. As a consequence, there are truths from which ‘true’ cannot be disquoted away (and similarly with ‘denotes’ and ‘extension’). The chapter argues that one leading motivation for the deflationist-namely, the role that ‘true’ plays in expressing generalizations-is fully captured by the singularity theory.

The question we have been examining in this book is limited but fundamental: how should the Supreme Court’s recent definitional expansions of the meaning and scope of “speech” protected by the First Amendment be judged? In the cases we have reviewed, the constitutional term “speech” has been expanded to include speech by corporations, speech by government, voting and petitioning, and speech “out of thin air.” These decisions are not just extensions of the freedom enjoyed by speech. They are extensions—indeed very substantial ones—of the definitional range of the free speech guarantee itself....

Abstract:

Since the popular emergence of the World Wide Web in the early 1990s, nothing has been clearer about the digital environment than that it changes at a breakneck pace, making it a constant challenge of adaptation for content providers. Public historians who may have come of age in the context of writing either concise wall labels for the public or extended scholarly articles and conference papers for their fellow historians might find the pace and the level of flexibility and interactivity of the Web disconcerting, but in the end, the advantages for the practice of public history are extensive. Breaking the constraints of a physical site by effectively using the Web leaves public historians constrained only by their time, resources, and imagination. This chapter deals specifically with the various modes of communication that are available to public historians through the use of new media.

Full text

Abstract:

This book aims to provide a solution to the semantic paradoxes. It argues for a unified solution to the paradoxes generated by the concepts of reference or denotation, predicate extension, and truth. The solution makes two main claims. The first is that our semantic expressions ‘denotes’, ‘extension’, and ‘true’ are context-sensitive. The second, inspired by a brief, tantalizing remark of Gödel’s, is that these expressions are significant everywhere except for certain singularities, in analogy with division by zero. A formal theory of singularities is presented and applied to a wide variety of versions of the definability paradoxes, Russell’s paradox, and the Liar paradox. The book argues that the singularity theory satisfies the following desiderata: it recognizes that the proper setting of the semantic paradoxes is natural language, not regimented formal languages; it minimizes any revision to our semantic concepts; it respects as far as possible Tarski’s intuition that natural languages are universal; it responds adequately to the threat of revenge paradoxes; and it preserves classical logic and semantics. The book examines the consequences of the singularity theory for deflationary views of our semantic concepts, and concludes that if we accept the singularity theory, we must reject deflationism.

Abstract:

The transport through a one-dimensional barrier is calculated within the tight-binding model. The surface Green’s functions are introduced as a method to invert the Green’s function matrix and to set-up convenient boundary conditions for simulations. The formalism is applied to calculate the transport properties of parallel stacked organic molecules. The extension to higher dimensions and multiband crystals is discussed. In this section we apply the GKB formalism to diffraction of electrons on a barrier. The system we study is a planar heterojunction of two ideal semi-infinite crystals or a surface of a crystal. As an initial condition we take a stream of electrons with a sharp momentum.

Full text

Abstract:

Through an “ethnography of reading,” this chapter focuses on Webb debates about soteriological pluralism in the Qur’an. Indeed, the US Protestant discourse of religious pluralism has profoundly shaped the ways that American Muslims read and interpret the Qur’an. In particular, Muslims face increasing pressure to affirm, through Qur’anic interpretation and exegesis, that Islam recognizes Judaism and Christianity as salvific faiths, and to downplay Islamic claims to superiority. The embrace of the “Abrahamic faiths” has become another test of national belonging. The demands of religious pluralism mean that non-Muslim readings of the Qur’an necessarily influence, structure, and add a particular urgency to Webb participants’ engagement with the text. Webb participants employed multiple hermeneutical strategies in order to challenge broader culture discourses that have vilified the text (and by extension, Islam) as oppressive and antithetical to American religious pluralism. In doing so, they affirmed and challenged the logic of religious pluralism.

Abstract:

The main goal of this chapter is to explain the book’s proposal about what meanings are. Meanings are initially characterized as the “interpretations,” whatever they are, that certain child-acquirable languages connect with pronunciations. If these languages turn out to be generative procedures, meanings can be described more substantively in terms of these procedures. In reviewing some reasons for not identifying meanings with concepts, there is a discussion of polysemy and the broader point that meanings are conceptually equivocal, before reviewing some reasons for not identifying meanings with extensions, not even if we posit many possible worlds. This leads into a discussion of natural kinds, words like ‘water’, and the idea that meanings at least determine extensions. After arguing against this idea, the proposed alternative is sketched.

Abstract:

La educación superior es uno de los campos donde las nuevas tendencias de la historia de la Humanidad, esa mezcla de esperanzas y duras experiencias, se confrontan, condensan y realizan en desenlaces a veces terribles, a veces auspiciosos, siempre sorprendentes. Es acerca de ella, como esperanza de los pueblos, que se encuentra diversidad de visiones desde siempre o, mejor, desde hace décadas. Una de esas expectativas es la aplicación de las nuevas tecnologías de información y comunicación, para el cumplimiento de las misiones tradicionales de la Universidad: docencia, investigación y extensión. La pandemia COVID 19 nos ha hecho en ocasiones perder el sentido del tiempo. Por ello, retomar un debate y unas reflexiones que venían desde antes de su declaratoria oficial y la aplicación de las medidas profilácticas, de un día para el otro, nos suenan a discusiones de hace mucho tiempo, como si correspondieran a otra época. La realidad, como siempre, es más complicada. En efecto, la pandemia, desde el punto de vista de muchos pensadores actuales, funcionó como un catalizador, un acelerador de procesos, como en el caso de la extensión y la utilización de esas “prótesis técnicas” de la información y el conocimiento: las computadoras, los teléfonos “inteligentes”, la web con su panoplia de recursos audiovisuales, de almacenamiento global de conocimientos y comunicación universal.

Abstract:

It’s shown that the existence concept that we express in natural languages and that we use to think about what we—philosophers and non-philosophers—take to exist in the world is criterion-transcendent, transcendent, and univocal. That is, speakers use a notion that they take to be fixed in its extension across languages and to be the same one they’ve used in the past and will use in the future. Furthermore, the existence concept has no meaning entailments. We do not understand what exists to have certain properties (or not to have certain properties) on the basis of the meaning of the word “exist.” “Exist” and “there is,” when used to express or deny ontological commitments, are neither ambiguous nor polysemous. Language-usage evidence is presented that confirms these claims.

Abstract:

We describe the coarray programming model, which provides a simple syntactic extension from the point of view of both work distribution and data distribution. For work distribution, it adopts the single program multiple data (SPMD) programming model, with multiple ‘images’ (usually processes) executing identical programs. For data distribution it allows each image to access data on another image with coarray syntax that is similar to Fortran array syntax. The programmer is responsible for subdividing the executions on the images into segments within each of which the compiler is free to use its optimization techniques as if the image were executing on its own. We explain the special statements known as ‘image control statements’ that allow the programmer to achieve this.

Abstract:

In this chapter, we examine the relationship between environmental political theory and the development of sustainability studies within US higher education. We assess the incorporation of environmental political theory authors in sustainability classrooms and the extent to which environmental political theory and sustainability studies classrooms engage in experiential, skills-based learning. We situate this pedagogy as an extension of the tradition of the liberal arts, especially as developed by John Dewey, and effectively, as citizenship skill development for democratic societies. To teach twenty-first-century citizenship skills, we maintain, is to teach sustainability skills. This entails educating and empowering students to grapple intellectually and practically with the interdependent social, environmental, and economic challenges that define their current circumstances and future prospects. Environmental political theory can and should become more relevant to sustainability studies programs, primarily by strengthening its mission of engaged theory through the cultivation of experiential learning opportunities.

Abstract:

As the the bicentennary of the French Revolution draws near, Dickens' historical novel serves as a timely reminder of nineteenth-century reactions to that great upheaval. Set between 1757 and 1793, A Tale of Two Cities views the causes and effects of the Revolution from an essentially private point of view, showing how private experience relates to public history. Dickens' characters are fictional, and their political activity is minimal, yet all are drawn towards the Paris of the Terror, and all become caught up in its web of human suffering and human sacrifice. This edition includes extensive explanatory notes giving crucial background information about the Revolution and Dickens' sources. ‘the best story I have written’ Charles Dickens

Abstract:

This chapter considers whether it could be wrong to have a disabled rather than a non-disabled child. There is often thought to be some substantial objection to doing so even when the would-be parents know that they will not regret such a decision. This chapter examines whether the prospective and retrospective attitudes that parents take on such a decision must be consistent with one another, or whether they can come apart in contexts like Parfit’s “non-identity problem.” The chapter argues we can morally condemn such a decision that we know we will affirm in retrospect because affirmation is not an evaluation of the decision (let alone of the life of the child). Instead, affirmation is best understood as the parent’s extension to the child of the sort of pre-reflective acceptance of oneself that is part of normal self-love.

Abstract:

From the Grounds Up is a study of how peripheral places grappled with globalization at the end of the nineteenth century. Through extensive use of local archives in the Soconusco district of Chiapas, Mexico, the book redefines the body of actors who integrated Latin America’s countryside into international markets for agricultural goods. Alongside plantation owners and foreign investors, a dense but little explored web of indigenous and mestizo villagers, migrant workers, and local politicians quickly adopted and adapted to the production of coffee for export. Following their efforts to overcome violence, isolation, and the absence of reliable institutions, the book illustrates the reshaping of rural economic and political life in the context of integrating global markets. By taking up new export crops like coffee and making use of liberal reforms around private property and contract law, smallholders and laborers defended their interests and secured spaces for their own ongoing participation in rural production. Vast swaths of Latin America’s population were sending the fruits of their labor abroad by the turn of the century. Only by taking into account all those who produced for market can we understand rural Latin America’s transformation in this era.
