Touching the Earth
This article develops the philosophical work of Joanna Macy. It argues that ecological grief is a fitting response to our ecological predicament and that much of the 'mental ill health' that we are now seeing is, in fact, a perfectly sane response to our ecological reality. This paper claims that all ecological emotions are grounded in love/compassion. Acceptance of these emotions reveals that everything is fine in the world as it is, providing t…

Extinction Rebellion and environmental activism – the XR interviews
For this publication on environmental activism and the law, we interviewed representatives of Extinction Rebellion (XR) in the United Kingdom and Australia to explore their views on the goals, tactics and challenges for the movement. This report features interviews conducted in late 2019 with Claire Burgess (then regional coordinator XR Southern Tasmania, Australia) and Rupert Read (spokesperson for XR England and Reader in Philosophy, University…
A Wittgensteinian/Austinian Qualified Defense of Ryle on Know-How
On preparing for the great gift of community that climate disasters can give us
There is a widespread (if rarely voiced) assumption, among those who dare to understand the futurewhich climate chaos is likely to yield, that civility will give way and a Hobbesian war of all against all will be unleashed. Thankfully, this assumption is highly questionable. The field of ‘Disaster Studies’, as shown in Rebecca Solnit's A Paradise Built in Hell, makes clear that it is at least as likely that, tested in the crucible of backto- back…

There is No Such Thing as a Social Science
The death of Peter Winch in 1997 sparked a revived interest in his work with this book arguing his work suffered misrepresentation in both recent literature and in contemporary critiques of his writing. Debates in philosophy and sociology about foundational questions of social ontology and methodology often claim to have adequately incorporated and moved beyond Winch's concerns. Re-establishing a Winchian voice, the authors examine how such conte…
Where Value Resides
Distinguishing between the source and the locus of value enables environmental philosophers to consider not only what is of value, but also to try to develop a conception of valuation that is itself ecological. Such a conception must address difficulties caused by the original locational metaphors in which the distinction is framed. This is done by reassessing two frequently employed models of valuation, perception, and desire, and going on to sh…
An Empirical Refutation of Pareto-optimality
Pareto-optimality is a fundamental tenet of modern economics. It states that, given an initial allocation of goods between individuals, a change to a different allocation that makes at least one in
A price for everything?’
‘Sustainability’ is a contested concept. This contestability – and its basis in deep, oppositional convictions – means that the argument between those who would substitute financial for natural capital and those who believe that such substitution is impossible and/or dangerous is unlikely to be resolved. Some of those in the latter group who have previously argued for a strong view of sustainability (one that privileges nature or perhaps ‘natural…
BRAD WRAY Kuhn's Evolutionary Social Epistemology
The difference principle is not action-guiding
Utilitarianism would allow any degree of inequality whatsoever productive of the greatest happiness of the greatest number. But it does not guide political action, because determining what level of inequality would produce the greatest happiness of the greatest number is opaque due to well-known psychological coordination problems. Does Rawlsian liberalism, as is generally assumed, have some superiority to Utilitarianism in this regard? This pape…

Jack Mulhall began his film career in the early days of cinema, and rose, in the 1910s and 1920s, to become a popular romantic lead in both dramas and light comedy. His early screen image of a charming, handsome and fashionable man captured something of cinema's dominant spirit during these decades. With the transition to sound films, however, Mulhall's film career began to decline. He went from Hollywood leading man to the star of Poverty Row po…

Economist-kings? A Critical Notice on Caplan, The Myth of the Rational Voter
Caplan’s The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies 1 has been received by rave reviews. These reviews appear to have failed to note that Caplan’s book celebrates the market and denigrates democracy at the very time when markets worldwide have failed and democracies have ridden to the rescue. It thus appears to have been undermined fatally by events that occurred as it was published (and which Caplan artfully omits to men…
Wittgenstein's Philosophical Investigations as a War Book
Seeing a human being as an automaton, or seeing an everyday object as a swastika: these two possibilities that Wittgenstein at one point in his book discusses in one and the same sentence index (respectively) that failure and the needful vigilance of our response to it. Acknowledging the pain of other human beings rather than wrongly modeling that pain in a way that makes others’ being inaccessible to us is what at the deepest level is required i…

Toward a Perspicuous Presentation of "Perspicuous Presentation"1
Gordon Baker in his last decade published a series of papers (now collected in Baker 2004 ), which are revolutionary in their proposals for understanding of later Wittgenstein. Taking our lead from the first of those papers, on "perspicuous presentations," we offer new criticisms of 'elucidatory' readers of later Wittgenstein, such as Peter Hacker: we argue that their readings fail to connect with the radically therapeutic intent of the 'perspicu…
The 'Hard' Problem of Consciousness Is Continually Reproduced and Made Harder by All Attempts to Solve It
I argue that the so-called 'hard' problem of consciousness ' the problem of how consciousness is possible at all, and how it 'connects' with matter ' is only an artefact of the ways in which human scientists approach consciousness and (more generally) mind. Putting the point paradoxically but also quite precisely: the efforts to solve the mind'body problem, and this its latest variant form, are the very disease of which they take themselves to be…
An Elucidatory Interpretation of Wittgenstein's Tractatus
Much has been written on the relative merits of different readings of Wittgenstein’s Tractatus Logico‐Philosophicus. The recent renewal of the debate has almost exclusively been concerned with variants of the ineffabilist (metaphysical) reading of TL‐P – notable such readings have been advanced by Elizabeth Anscombe, P. M. S. Hacker and H. O. Mounce – and the recently advanced variants of therapeutic (resolute) readings – notable advocates of whi…

Selon Fries, si la philosophie post-kantienne annule les principaux résultats de la révolution critique, une telle erreur d’interprétation a été rendue possible par certaines ambiguités de la théorie kantienne : Kant n’a pas su rigoureusement distinguer la connaissance transcendantale de son objet, à savoir la connaissance a priori ; ce qui l’a ainsi conduit à la tenir elle-même pour une connaissance a priori et à manquer ainsi son caractère psyc…
