  • Absolute Idealist Powers

    Open AccessJohn M Mulder, Jesse M MulderARTICLEAustralasian Journal of Philosophy2022

    Although contemporary powers metaphysics largely understands itself as a metaphysical realist undertaking, recently powers have come to the surface also within an idealist context. This paper aims to characterize and motivate an absolute idealist conception of powers. I compare realist and idealist powers metaphysics in their respective responses to Humean scepticism concerning powers, thereby motivating the claim that the very idea of a power is…

  • Causality and determination, powers and agency: Anscombean perspectives

    Open AccessJohn M Mulder, Thomas Müller et al.ARTICLESynthese2022References: 31

    Anscombe’s 1971 inaugural lecture at Cambridge, entitled ‘Causality and Determination’, has had a lasting influence on a remarkably broad range of philosophers and philosophical debates, touching on fundamental topics in philosophy of science, action theory, the free will debate, epistemology, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics. Especially where anti-reductionist or pluralist strands of philosophical thought are being seriously considered, one s…

  • Varieties of Power

    Open AccessJohn M MulderARTICLEAxiomathes2021

    Power enthusiasts are engaged in two projects: (1) developing a decent metaphysical account of powers, and (2) applying that account in order to make progress on various other philosophical issues, ranging from narrowly related topics such as causality to further removed ones such as free will, reasoning, or perception. I argue that an intermediate step may be taken, one that explores ‘varieties of power’ while still staying within the realm of (…

  • Animals run about the world in all sorts of paths’: Varieties of indeterminism

    Open AccessJohn M MulderARTICLESynthese2021Cited by: 2References: 21

    In her seminal essay ‘Causality and Determination’, Elizabeth Anscombe very decidedly announced that “physical indeterminism” is “indispensable if we are to make anything of the claim to freedom”. But it is clear from that same essay that she extends the scope of that claim beyond freedom–she suggests that indeterminism is required already for animal self-movement (a position recently called ‘agency incompatibilism’ by Helen Steward). Building on…

  • Robots and us: Towards an economics of the ‘Good Life’

    Open AccessC W M Naastepad, John M Mulder et al.ARTICLEReview of Social Economy2018References: 58

    (Expected) adverse effects of the ‘ICT Revolution’ on work and opportunities for individuals to use and develop their capacities give a new impetus to the debate on the societal implications of technology and raise questions regarding the ‘responsibility’ of research and innovation (RRI) and the possibility of achieving ‘inclusive and sustainable society’. However, missing in this debate is an examination of a possible conflict between the quest …

  • A Seeming Problem for Higher-Order Theories of Consciousness

    Open AccessJohn M Mulder, Jesse M MulderARTICLEDialogue2016Cited by: 1References: 12

    Higher-order theories account for intransitive consciousness by using the transitive notion 'awareness-of.' I argue that this notion implies a form of 'seeming' that the higher-order approach requires, yet cannot account for. I show that, if the relevant kind of seeming is declared to be present in all representational states, the seeming in question is objectionably trivialized; while using the higher-order strategy to capture not only intransit…

  • Listening to Faith: An Interview with Krista Tippett of “Speaking of Faith”

    Open AccessJohn M MulderARTICLETheology Today2011

    Mulder’s interview of Krista Tippett, host and producer of popular radio program “Speaking of Faith,” brings to light the importance of the spiritual practice of listening. Tippett observes that, “Before we can become good listeners we have to become attentive to the fear in ourselves, whatever fear we have of listening. Before you can become a good listener, you have to be present ... The quality of an answer is correlated with the quality of th…
