All in Good Time
This is a commentary on Samuel Scheffler’s One Life to Lead , focusing on Chap. 2 of that book. The piece focuses on Scheffler’s conditional acceptance of a revised form of Parfit’s ‘excellent argument’ and suggests that there are more fundamental reasons to reject Parfit’s endorsement of temporal neutrality than arise from our relationships
Of seeming disagreement
Sounds and Images
Listen to one of the earliest surviving recordings—for example the plea on behalf of the survivors of the battle of Balaclava made by Florence Nightingale, 30 July 1890. Nightingale recited the words, ‘When I am no longer even a memory, just a name, I hope my voice may perpetuate the great work of my life. God bless my dear old comrades of Balaclava and bring them safe to shore.’ From this a series of wax cylinders were made and sold on the open …
Commentary on Action in Perception
On Being Alienated
Disjunctivist theories advocate a type of naïve realism about veridical perception in that they support the common understanding that some sensory experiences are relations to mind-independent objects. The sceptical argument from hallucination challenges the connection between naïve realism about perceptual experience and disjunctivism. This chapter focuses on identifying and elaborating the fundamental disagreements here. The first part presents…
The Limits of Self-Awareness
The Transparency of Experience
A common objection to sense–datum theories of perception is that they cannot give an adequate account of the fact that introspection indicates that our sensory experiences are directed on, or are about, the mind–independent entities in the world around us, that our sense experience is transparent to the world. In this paper I argue that the main force of this claim is to point out an explanatory challenge to sensedatum theories. In the first part…
Particular Thoughts & Singular Thought
A long-standing theme in discussion of perception and thought has been that our primary cognitive contact with individual objects and events in the world derives from our perceptual contact with them. When I look at a duck in front of me, I am not merely presented with the fact that there is at least one duck in the area, rather I seem to be presented with this thing (as one might put it from my perspective) in front of me, which looks to me to b…
Logic, Thought and Language
Much contemporary philosophical debate centres on the topics of logic, thought and language, and on the connections between these topics. This collection of articles is based on the Royal Institute of Philosophy's annual lecture series for 2000–2001. Its contributors include a number of those working at the forefront of the field, and in their papers they reflect their own current pre-occupations. As such, the volume will be of interest to all ph…
Perception, Concepts, and Memory
A n intentional theory of perception claims that perceptual states have an intentional content that represents the world as being some way.' This is to see experiences as akin to propositional attitudes such as beliefs: believing that there is a glass on the table is being in a state with an intentional content. To claim that an experience has an intentional content is not necessarily to identify experiences with beliefs or to attempt to reduce t…
