  • Ordinary Objects - Amie Thomasson: Book Reviews

    Alan SidelleARTICLEThe Philosophical Quarterly2008

    Amie Thomasson has written a lovely book which is certain to irritate many professional metaphysicians. She defends the objects of common sense – tables, stones and dogs – against a wide array of arguments which have been offered against them in recent years. That will not provide the irritation. What will is the way she defends common sense. Her approach is semantic, broadly speaking. According to Thomasson, the attacks on common sense are based…

  • Innoculi Innocula

    Open AccessAlan SidelleARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…2002

    In “Innocuous Infallibility,” Earl Conee argues that the infallibility to which I argue Internalism is committed, in “An Argument that Internalism Requires Infallibility,” is harmless and trivial. I maintain that this overlooks the fact that Internalism makes use of an intuitive notion of ‘epistemic twinhood’ to drive its position, rather than one antecedently defined with a filled‐out notion of ‘relevant epistemic circumstances’. Conee is correc…

  • An Argument That Internalism Requires Infallibility

    Open AccessAlan SidelleARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…2001

    Most contemporary internalists are fallibilists, denying that there need be anything about which we are infallible for us to have knowledge or justified beliefs. At the same time, internalists standardly appeal to ‘internal twins’ in arguing against externalism and motivating internalism—a Cartesian demon can ruin the ‘external’ relations we have to the world, but one is equally well justified in one's beliefs whether or not one is subject to suc…

  • Finding an Intrinsic Account of Identity: What is the Source of Duplication Cases

    Alan SidelleARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…2000Cited by: 2

    Many philosophers believe that identity through time cannot depend on features extrinsic to the relata and relations between them. This goes with the view that one must deny identity in cases for which there is a 'duplication case'-a case just like the first, but for an additional, 'external' element which provides an equal or better 'candidate' for identity with one of the relata. Such friends of intrinsicness cannot remedy the failure of contin…
