Reflections on Language, by Noam Chomsky; On Noam Chomsky
Semantics of Natural Language
Character
Moral psychology is central to modern virtue ethics, whose proponents have claimed greater psychological realism as a theoretical advantage. Yet much empirical research in personality and social psychology appears to unsettle familiar notions of character, prompting critics to advance skeptical views of character as portrayed in philosophical virtue ethics. In response, some defenders of virtue ethics have acknowledged the importance of incorpora…
Epistemic Contextualism as a Theory of Primary Speaker Meaning 1
Jason Stanley’s Knowledge and Practical Interests is a brilliant book, combining insights about knowledge with a careful examination of how recent views in epistemology fit with the best of recent linguistic semantics. Although I am largely convinced by Stanley’s objections to epistemic contextualism, I will try in what follows to formulate a version that might have some prospect of escaping his powerful critique
Intending, Intention, Intent, Intentional Action, and Acting Intentionally
There has been considerable controversy about whether this last entailment always holds. Ordinary subjects may judge that (4) and (5) are appropriate in cases in which none of (1)-(3) are—cases in which Jack’s breaking the base is a foreseen but undesired consequence of Jack’s intentionally doing something else. It is currently debated what the best explanation of such ordinary reactions might be. It is also debated what to make of the fact that …

Reflections on Knowledge and Its Limits
Williamson’s Knowledge and its Limits is the most important philosoph-ical discussion of knowledge in many years. It sets the agenda for episte-mology for the next decade and beyond. The main thesis of the book is “knowledge first.” One aspect of this thesis is that knowledge is a basic mental state, a propositional attitude that cannot be explained in terms of belief plus certain other conditions. Given that knowledge counts as a mental state, i…

General Foundations versus Rational Insight
Explaining Value
Considers the following questions: What accounts for the existence of basic moral disagreements? Why do most people think it is worse to injure someone than to fail to save them from injury? Where does the right of self‐defence come from? Why do many people think it is morally permissible to treat animals in ways we would not treat people? Why are some people moral relativists and others not? What is it to value something and what is it to value …
The Nonexistence of Character Traits
Explaining Value
Discusses ways in which people's moral values might be explained, starting with Hume's account of our different attitudes toward chastity in men and in women, Hume's somewhat utilitarian explanation of moral sentiments in general, various theories of moral development, explanations of aspects of morality in terms of natural selection, Posner's explanation of aspects of morality in terms of wealth maximization, explanations that appeal to principl…
Moral Agent and Impartial Spectator
A standard objection to impartial spectator theories of morality is that they offer an aesthetic, critic‐centred conception of morality, and so cannot adequately account for moral motivation and the way morality presents itself to an agent. The issue arose in the eighteenth century for Hutcheson, Hume, and Smith. Smith provided an elegant account of why agents might be motivated to act in ways that impartial spectators would approve of, an accoun…

Moral Philosophy and Linguistics
Rational Commitment and Social Justice
Gregory S. Kavka (1947–94) was a prominent and influential figure in contemporary moral and political philosophy. The essays in this volume are concerned with fundamental issues of rational commitment and social justice to which Kavka devoted his work as a philosopher. The essays take Kavka's work as a point of departure and seek to advance the respective debates. The topics include: the relationship between intention and moral action as part of …
Expressivist Relativism
Moral Relativism and Moral Objectivity
As one would expect this is an interesting book, although also a slightly quirky one. In it Harman defends a version of moral relativism, and Thomson defends a version of its apparent opposite, a thesis of moral objectivity. Then each has a go at the other. Arguably, this is the best part of the book: I think that each makes serious inroads into the other's paper, and I doubt if I can do better in a short space. So my comments will be relatively …
Quine on Meaning and Existence, II
Fuine's philosophical writings are for the most part contained in two collections of essays, From a Logical Point of View1 and recently The Ways of Paradox,2 and in an important book, Word and Object.3 The present survey will be restricted to views ex pressed in these three volumes, although Quine's work in logic is continuous with his work in philosophy.4 The present Part One describes and defends Quine's views about meaning. The follow ing Part…

The Inference to the Best Explanation
The Intrinsic Quality of Experience
There are three familiar and related arguments against psychophysical functionalism and the computer model of the mind. The first is that we are directly aware of intrinsic features of our experience and argues that there is no way to account for this awareness in a functional view. The second claims that a person blind from birth can know all about the functional role of visual experience without knowing what it is like to see something red. The…

Moral Explanation and Moral Objectivity
What is the real issue at stake in discussions of explanation? There isn't one. Not because there is none, but because there are many. We may distinguish two broad kinds of relevance of explanatory questions to morality, one to moral thought and practice, the other external. Internal. Commonsense moral frameworks and prevalent moral theories deploy a number of concepts which integrate normative purport and explanatory ambition. Such notions as mo…

Generative Grammars without Transformation Rules
1. I ntroduction and summary. A phrase-structure grammar has been written which generates exactly the set of sentences generated by a fairly large transformational grammar written by Noam Chomsky. The phrase structure version of Chomsky's grammar is included in the appendix. It is written in an abbreviated notation which is explained below

Responses to Critics
Moral absolutism is the view that there is basically a single true morality. I argue that existing moral diversity between societies and within contemporary American society is strong evidence against moral absolutism. Although Blackburn announces near the end of his comments that he is a moral absolutist, he does not indicate how he would respond to what seems to me to be the rather strong case against moral absolutism

This edition includes a new and specially written introduction by James McGilvray, contextualising the work for the twenty-first century. It has been made more accessib…

Anaphoric Pronouns as Bound Variables
Wasow 1975 argues that three problems about rule ordering arise in the proposal of Harman 1972. Two of these are in fact illusory, and the other can be met by means of the convention that variable movement rules can also move there. The interaction between Tough Movement and Dative Movement provides additional positive evidence for the proposal in question
