Argumentatively Navigating Deep Disagreements
When disagreements cut deep, epistemic agents face a predicament. Although disagreements have been widely hailed for their epistemic benefits, deep disagreements are often plagued with argumentative hurdles preventing the attainment of such epistemic goods. This raises an important question: What should one do when faced with a deep disagreement? This article develops a case‐sensitive framework to help epistemic agents tailor their argumentative …

Hinge Epistemology: Why Choose
This paper explores a path towards the resolution of the existing stalemate between competing theories in hinge epistemology. Initially, it is diagnosed that the stalemate stems from a theoretical assumption regarding the nature of hinges and a methodological assumption regarding how hinges ought to be investigated. Specifically, it is assumed in the literature about hinges that the features of hinges display a theoretical unity to be explained b…
Against a global conception of mathematical hinges
Epistemologists have developed a diverse group of theories, known as hinge epistemology, about our epistemic practices that resort to and expand on Wittgenstein's concept of ‘hinges’ in On Certainty. Within hinge epistemology there is a debate over the epistemic status of hinges. Some hold that hinges are non-epistemic (neither known, justified, nor warranted), while others contend that they are epistemic. Philosophers on both sides of the debate…
The Later Wittgenstein on Expressive Moral Judgements
This paper shows that Wittgenstein's later explorations of the meaning of expressive moral judgements reach far deeper than has so far been noticed. It is argued that an adequate description of the meaning of expressive moral judgements requires engaging in a grammatical investigation that focuses on three interwoven components within specific language-games. First, the ethical reactions expressed by moral words and the additional purpose they ma…
‘Ethics is transcendental’ ( Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus , 6.421)
In this paper I offer a novel interpretation of Wittgenstein's claim that ‘ethics is transcendental’ (TLP 6.421). Initially, I set out to offer said interpretation by resorting to both Wittgenstein's understanding of ethics and his understanding of the transcendentality of logic—which entails taking Wittgenstein as endorsing a Kantian understanding of the notion ‘transcendental’. This leads to the claim that ethics is transcendental insofar as it…
Wittgenstein, deflationism and moral entities
This paper discusses the meta-ethical implications of Wittgenstein’s later moral philosophy. According to Lovibond and Brandhorst, Wittgenstein provided a novel conception of moral facts, properties and objects by adopting deflationism. Lovibond argues that Wittgenstein’s seamless conception of language together with his non-foundational epistemology and non-transcendent understanding of rationality involves a change of perspective towards a plau…
