Naturalism is standardly defended by explanatory comparison or by deference to the sciences. The first route cannot win the case for naturalism, since the theoretical virtues are claimed by both sides; the second changes the subject. I defend a...
I advance the notion of generative passivity by exploring Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s concept of "institution" through the movement of spiralic temporality. By navigating Merleau-Ponty’s elusive remarks on "permanent revolution" and the concept of the...
Doxastic deliberation about how to doxastically relate to a given proposition p is said to be transparent, in that the central deliberative question of ‘Whether to believe p?’ is equivalent to ‘Whether p?’. I discuss four challenges to this thesis...
This paper outlines a naturalistic yet non-deflationary account of subjective experience. I advance five theses which, when taken together, offer an account which retains the reality of subjective experience in a way that’s convivial to the...
Many authors who reject the vacuous truth of counterpossibles still adopt a strangeness of impossibilitycondition (SIC): possible worlds are always closer than impossible ones. Others doubt that SIC holds across the board. I situate the debate...
I present a case of perceptual discrimination without phenomenal difference as a problem case for Schellenberg’s capacitism. According to Schellenberg, employing capacities to discriminate and single out particulars not only constitutes perceptual...
This study examines the emerging methodological link between psychobiography (PB) and autoethnography (AE) from a knowledge-production perspective, asking what this connection makes visible in the production of psychobiographical knowledge. It...
This conceptual article explores how literacy in language education might be reconfigured under postdigital conditions in which meaning-making is increasingly entangled with algorithmic processes that are not fully accessible to human sense. It...
‘Postdigital’ became established as an academic concept around 2000 and has undergone conceptual transformations since. Despite attempts to map the postdigital, no systematic overview of its history and trends exists. This review asks: What is the...
This paper distinguishes between two broad approaches to psychoanalysis: etiologically speculative and etiologically neutral. Etiologically speculative approaches advance causal claims about psychopathology, often through reconstructions of early...
This paper advances a twofold thesis. First, capitalism satisfies the Durkheimian criteria of a functional religion by performing integrative, normative, and symbolic roles. Second, it does so in a distorted way, producing what we call a pseudo-eschatology...
Mainstream biographical cinema can bring nuclear ethics into view while limiting the terms through which it can be considered. Taking Oppenheimeras its object of analysis, this study examines how a subject-centered narrative organizes ethical...
This article suggests that Siri Hustvedt’s autofictional and autotheoretical modes of writing are a literary expression of subjectivity that exemplifies Bracha Ettinger’s matrixial subjective paradigm. Both Hustvedt and Ettinger focus on the...
It has been shown that a very old black hole can tunnel into a white hole through the emission of a large baby universe. This process can be modeled by a genus-one geometry corresponding to a single baby universe emission, with a tunneling...
Modal expansionism is the view that modal space can always be expanded. On the linguistic approach, modal space expands when, upon reinterpretation, our modal vocabulary comes to range over more possibilities. Instead, this paper offers a...
This paper examines the development of the concept of conflict (Widerstreit) in Edmund Husserl’s analyses of image consciousness, focusing on Phantasy and Image Consciousness (1904/05) and On the Theory of Intuitions and their Modes(1918). By...
This paper argues that immanent to each moment of perception there exists an infinite number of potential states of affairs available for recognition. Drawing on Husserl’s early writings regarding categorial experience and the Munich-Göttingen...
Field cancerization, the process wherein prior insults corrupt the semiotic landscape through which immune cells detect and respond to “the other”, persists even after the precipitating conditions resolve and the tissue histologically appears...
Thomas Kuhn’s relationship to Ludwik Fleck has usually been reconstructed through comparison of their published works and Kuhn’s later recollections. This paper approaches the relationship through Kuhn’s annotated copy of Fleck’s Entstehung und...
This article emerges from a reflection on how current global transitions and paradigm shift (the Anthropocene, Artificial Intelligence revolution and post-colonial era being some of its markers) impact conventional western epistemologies; could it...
