Safeguarding Against Abuse in Religious Contexts
Faith-based organizations (FBOs) are integral to community social structures, providing services that often extend beyond spiritual guidance. Due to their longstanding presence and trust within communities, FBOs are uniquely positioned to contribute to safeguarding efforts against abuse. Despite their potential, research indicates that there is a degree of ineffective collaboration between FBOs and statutory services (SSs), particularly in the co…
From One to Many, and Back Again
Anti-intellectualism, instructive representations, and the intentional action argument
Intellectualists hold that knowledge-how is a species of knowledge-that, and consequently that the knowledge involved in skill is propositional. In support of this view, the intentional action argument holds that since skills manifest in intentional action and since intentional action necessarily depends on propositional knowledge, skills necessarily depend on propositional knowledge. We challenge this argument, and suggest that instructive repre…
Geometry and the Imagination
Geometry seems to depend on the formation and manipulation of figures in the imagination. This dependence could be investigated as a problem of empirical psychology, art history, or even pure mathematics. But my questions are philosophical: what is the imagination, and how could it help explain our geometrical knowledge? In this chapter, I study the problem of geometrical cognition as it emerges within a tradition, outlining how Aristotle, Proclu…
Aristotelian Imagination and Decaying Sense
Aristotelian imagination is widely understood as a psychological power by which retained perceptual states recur in consciousness. According to this view, imagination is decaying sense, a part of the psyche that is parasitic on perceptual acts for its content. This paper disputes this reading and provides an alternative account of Aristotle’s concept of imagination. I argue that Aristotelian imagination is a power of the psyche that is both produ…
Spiritual abuse in Christian faith settings
Purpose A previous publication in this journal reported the findings of a 2013 survey into people’s experiences of membership of a Christian church in the UK (author citation removed for the purposes of review). A major finding of this survey was that many people said they had been “harmed” by their experience with some labelling it as “Spiritual Abuse” (SA). Respondents in the 2013 study also stressed the importance of developing safeguarding po…
