Hermeneutic decentering
This paper identifies a phenomenon called hermeneutic dismissiveness, which it positions in relation to willful hermeneutical ignorance (Pohlhaus 2012), hermeneutical clashes (Falbo 2022), and ameliorative conceptual engineering (e.g. Haslanger 2000). It then develops a generalized version of Iris Murdoch's (1970) notion of unselfing, for which I use the term decentering: this involves decentering not just one's (individual) self but also the (co…

What Is Ontological Realism
The purpose of this paper is to clarify what metaontological realism, as discussed in contemporary metaontological literature, amounts to. Although metaontological debates are of relatively long standing, the terms 'realism' and 'anti-realism' have only recently come to be regularly applied to metaontological positions. The new usage is not fully stable. This paper aims to: (1) distinguish three key claims associated with the term 'realism' in me…
Grounding concepts
A Priori Knowledge
This paper takes a look at a variety of attempts to account for the apparent existence of a priori knowledge: knowledge that is independent of evidence from sense experience. The classic views can be helpfully classified in terms of three different responses they provide to a single key question. Recently Alan Gibbard and Hartry Field have made space for a fourth, 'evaluativist', response. I highlight a few difficulties faced by this new camp and…

Entitlement and rationality
Knowledge of Arithmetic
The goal of the research programme I describe in this article is a realist epistemology for arithmetic which respects arithmetic's special epistemic status (the status usually described as a prioricity) yet accommodates naturalistic concerns by remaining fundamentally empiricist. I argue that the central claims which would allow us to develop such an epistemology are (i) that arithmetical truths are known through an examination of our arithmetica…
