Situational Strategies for Self-Control
Exercising self-control is often difficult, whether declining a drink in order to drive home safely, passing on the chocolate cake to stay on a diet, or ignoring text messages to finish reading an important paper. But enacting self-control is not always difficult, particularly when it takes the form of proactively choosing or changing situations in ways that weaken undesirable impulses or potentiate desirable ones. Examples of situational self-co…
The Oxford Handbook of Philosophical Methodology
This book examines the nature of philosophical methodology, defined as the study of philosophical method: how to do philosophy well. It considers a number of hypotheses that explain the nature of philosophical methodology, including eliminativism, epistemologism, theory selectionism, necessary preconditionalism, and hierarchicalism. It also tackles a range of topics such as ‘ordinary language philosophy’, the role of logic in philosophical method…
Oxford Handbook of Philosophical Methodology
"This is the most comprehensive book ever published on philosophical methodology. A team of thirty-eight of the world's leading philosophers present original essays on various aspects of how philosophy should be and is done. The first part is devoted to broad traditions and approaches to philosophical methodology (including logical empiricism, phenomenology, and ordinary language philosophy). The entries in the second part address topics in philo…
Oxford Studies in Epistemology Volume 5
This work is a major biennial volume offering a regular snapshot of state-of-the-art work in this important field of epistemology. Topics addressed in Volume 5 include knowledge of abstracta, the nature of evidential support, epistemic and rational norms, fallibilism, closure principles, disagreement, the analysis of knowledge, and a priori justification. Papers make use of a variety different tools and insights, including those of formal epistem…

Self-Control in School-Age Children
Conflicts between immediately rewarding activities and more enduringly valued goals abound in the lives of school-age children. Such conflicts call upon children to exercise self-control, a competence that depends in part on the mastery of metacognitive, prospective strategies. The process model of self-control organizes these strategies into five families corresponding to sequential phases in the process by which undesired and desired impulses l…
Between Reason and Reflex
It is both exhilarating and a bit bracing to have one’s work scrutinized by such a talented collection of critics. I am grateful to Greg Currie, Tyler Doggett, Anna Ichino and Jennifer Nagel for their immensely thoughtful and insightful challenges. Responding adequately to all of the issues that they raise would take many more pages than I have been allotted. So I will limit myself to those that seem to be of widest concern. Most of these challen…
On the epistemic costs of implicit bias
Intuition, imagination, and philosophical methodology
Tamar Gendler draws together a series of essays in which she investigates philosophical methodology, and shows the value for philosophy of empirical psychology. Three intertwined themes run through the volume: imagination, intuition and philosophical methodology
Alief in Action (and Reaction)
I introduce and argue for the importance of a cognitive state that I call alief . An alief is, to a reasonable approximation, an innate or habitual propensity to respond to an apparent stimulus in a particular way. Recognizing the role that alief plays in our cognitive repertoire provides a framework for understanding reactions that are governed by non‐conscious or automatic mechanisms, which in turn brings into proper relief the role played by r…
Alief and Belief
Self‐deception as Pretense
Perceptual Experience
In the last few years there has been huge philosophical interest in perception. This text showcases the work of fifteen leading philosophers, covering topics to do with sensation and representation, conciousness and awareness and the connections between perception and knowledge and perception and action.
Imaginative Resistance Revisited
The puzzle of imaginative resistance is the puzzle of explaining our comparative difficulty in imagining fictional worlds that we take to be morally deviant. The author of this chapter, Szabó Gendler, refines her earlier (2000) account of the phenomenon. The chapter argues that cases that evoke resistance are those where seriously engaging with the proposed fictional perspective would alter the reader's apprehension of the actual world in unwante…
Oxford Studies In Epistemology
Oxford Studies in Epistemology is a major new biennial volume offering a regular snapshot of state-of-the-art work in this important field. Under the guidance of a distinguished editorial board composed of leading philosophers in North America, Europe, and Australasia, it will publish exemplary papers in epistemology, broadly construed. Anyone wanting to understand the latest developments at the leading edge of the discipline can start here. Edit…

Thought Experiments Rethought—and Reperceived
Contemplating imaginary scenarios that evoke certain sorts of quasi-sensory intuitions may bring us to new beliefs about contingent features of the natural world. These beliefs may be produced quasi-observationally; the presence of a mental image may play a crucial cognitive role in the formation of the belief in question. And this albeit fallible quasi-observational belief-forming mechanism may, in certain contexts, be sufficiently reliable to c…

Critical Study of Carol Rovane's The Bounds of Agency 1
Personal Identity and Thought-Experiments
Through careful analysis of a specific example, Parfit’s ‘fission argument’ for the unimportance of personal identity, I argue that our judgements concerning imaginary scenarios are likely to be unreliable when the scenarios involve disruptions of certain contingent correlations. Parfit’s argument depends on our hypothesizing away a number of facts which play a central role in our understanding and employment of the very concept under investigati…
Empiricism, Rationalism and the Limits of Justification
The Human Animal
Galileo and the Indispensability of Scientific Thought Experiment
By carefully examining one of the most famous thought experiments in the history of science—that by which Galileo is said to have refuted the Aristotelian theory that heavier bodies fall faster than lighter ones—I attempt to show that thought experiments play a distinctive role in scientific inquiry. Reasoning about particular entities within the context of an imaginary scenario can lead to rationally justified concluusions that—given the same in…
