The Metaphysics of Action
Social Properties (Facts and Entities): Philosophical Aspects
Beyond Supervenience and Construction
I assume that identity theories and reductive strategies generally about the relationship between both the physical and the mental and the non-social and the social fail and I remind the reader why this is so. The mind cannot be reduced to body and the social (and this includes social action) cannot be reduced to what goes on in the minds of individuals and to their non-social actions, even when physical environment is added to the allegedly redu…
John Searle's The Construction of Social Reality
John Searle's The Construction of Social Reality is beguiling. It tempts one into an individualistic understanding of society and institutions, not by arguing so much as by telling a seemingly plausible individualistic story.

Cohen, Marx and the Primacy Thesis
As Jon Elster remarked in an earlier review, G. A. Cohen's Karl Marx's Theory of History: A Defence ‘sets a new standard for Marxist philosophy’. In one way, the praise is too faint. Existing paradigms of continental Marxist philosophy are marred by an absence of careful definition, clear and precise argumentation, and the sort of sustained discussion that is committed to the teasing out of the intellectual difficulties of the author's own positi…
