  • The Art of Being with Steven Burns: A Celebration of a Life in Philosophy

    Open AccessClarisse Paron, Michael Hymers et al.ARTICLEDialogue2024

    The articles in this volume celebrate the work of Steven Burns. Versions of the articles were presented originally at two sessions organized in Burns's honour at the 2022 meeting of the Atlantic Regional Philosophers’ Association (ARPA), held at Dalhousie University in Halifax. This introduction presents a brief academic biography and summarizes each of the contributions. The articles, by Michael Hymers, Robbie Moser and Darren Bifford, Alice Mac…

  • Beetles and Nothingness: Sartre, Wittgenstein, and First-Person Authority

    Open AccessMichael HymersARTICLEDialogue2024

    This article is inspired by two of Steven Burns's many philosophical interests — self-deception and Wittgenstein — as well as by a wariness that we share of the analytic-continental divide in contemporary philosophy. I argue here that, despite obvious differences of temperament and concern, Sartre and Wittgenstein share a scepticism about the “epistemic model” of first-person authority. This shared scepticism emerges in a striking way in their ch…

  • Philosophy and Its Epistemic Neuroses

    This book argues that analytical philosophy and radical theory alike stand in an ambivalent relationship with skepticism. It explains structuralism, feminist theory and critical theory to outline a therapeutic alternative to philosophical theoreticism.

  • The Dignity of a Rule: Wittgenstein, Mathematical Norms, and Truth

    Open AccessMichael HymersARTICLEDialogue2003References: 15

    Paul Boghossian soutient contre Wittgenstein que le normativisme au sujet de la logique et des mathématiques est incompatible avec le fait de tenir les énoncés logiques et mathématiques pour vrais et que le normativisme entraîne une régression indue. Je soutiens, pour ma part, que le normativisme n'entraîne pas une telle régression, parce que les normes peuvent être implicites et que le normativisme peut bien être «factualiste» si l'on rejette ce…

  • Ebbs's Participant Perspective on Self-Knowledge

    Open AccessMichael HymersARTICLEDialogue2002Cited by: 1References: 19

    Une objection parfois faite à l'anti-individualisme est que son hypothèse d'un rôle constitutif de l'environnement naturel et social dans l'individuation des attitudes intentionnelles invite au scepticisme quant à l'autorité de la première personne, ce privilège particulier que nous sommes tous censés détenir eu égard à la connaissance (non socratique) de soi. Gary Ebbs pense que cette sorte d'objection peut être contrée par l'abandon du réalisme…
