Knowing, Telling, Trusting
This paper falls into three parts. The first looks at wh-constructions, focussing on the so-called factual whs, ‘X knows where... ’, ‘when’, ‘who’, ‘what’ etc. I suggest, drawing on both linguistic considerations and evidence from developmental psychology, that these constructions take things as their objects, not propositions; and that this may be why they are learned before those taking sentential complements. The second part moves to the case …
Crime as Prime
Traditional interpretations of legal doctrine have seen the actus reus and the mens rea as independent elements of a crime. Here it is argued that various puzzles surrounding the nature of intent and of attempt can be better addressed if we reject that idea. Following Williamson’s account of knowledge, it is suggested that the two are inseparable. The crime consists in the performance of an intentional act. It follows that an act has been perform…
Willing, Wanting, Waiting
This book provides a unified account of the will, pulling together a diverse range of phenomena that have typically been treated separately: intention, resolution, choice, weakness and strength of will, temptation, addiction, and freedom of the will. Drawing on recent psychological research, it is argued that rather than being the pinnacle of rationality, these components work to compensate for our inability to make and maintain sound judgments. …
The Exception Proves the Rule
Legal rules admit of exceptions; indeed, it has been a legal maxim that one can infer the existence of a rule from exceptions that are made to it.Hart claims that the exceptions do not admit of exhaustive statement (a form of legal particularism) but that nonetheless rules can bind.This paper develops a logical framework which accommodates this position, shows that it is available to a positivist, elucidates the role of rules within it, and concl…
Freedom, Coercion, and Discursive Control
If moral and political philosophy is to be of any use, it had better be concerned with real people. The focus need not be exclusively on people as they are; but it should surely not extend beyond how they would be under laws as they might be. It is one of the strengths of Philip Pettit ‘s work that it is concerned with real people and the ways that they think: with the commonplace mind.

China and the World Trade Organization
China's attempt to join the World Trade Organization (WTO) appears at this writing not to have been greatly advanced by President Clinton's June 1998 trip to Beijing. Anecdotal evidence from informed observers suggests that China is not likely to become a member of the for at least another year. The current financial turmoil in Asia is already causing much concern in China; entering the at this time might only magnify this anxiety over the countr…

The first part of this article looks at the reasons why nationalisation featured in the 1981 French Socialist programme, and concludes that while in the abstract it was an issue that encouraged left‐wing unity, the Socialists and the Communists expected very different things from it. The second and third parts look at the implementation of the policy, stressing the continuity with which the Socialists', rather than the Communists', aims have been…
