Chaining subtle gaze direction cues to guide users in extended reality
Directing a person’s attention by guiding their gaze to an object of interest is a promising application of extended reality (XR) to support people’s everyday life. XR gaze guidance is not only useful for assisting visual search, but also for influencing a person’s viewing order of objects, which affects memory and comprehension. For example, following an expert’s eye movements can enhance one’s proficiency in identifying relevant information. Ex…

Explaining political jiu-jitsu
The use of violent coercion to repress unarmed protests, such as that seen during the Arab Spring, sometimes backfires on the government - an outcome called 'political jiu-jitsu'. Examining unique global data covering extreme violence used by governments against unarmed protests from 1989 to 2011 (drawn from UCDP) and the Nonviolent and Violent Campaigns and Outcomes (NAVCO) data, this study aims to explain the conditions under which this outcome…
Without Justification
In the contentious debate among contemporary epistemologists and philosophers regarding justification, there is one consensus: justification is distinct from knowledge; there are justified beliefs that do not amount to knowledge, even if all instances of knowledge are instances of justified belief. In Without Justification, Jonathan Sutton forcefully opposes this claim. He proposes instead that justified belief simply is knowledge—not because the…

Are Concepts Mental Representations or Abstracta
I argue that thoughts and concepts are mental representations rather than abstracta. I propose that the most important difference between the two views is that the mentalist believes that there are concept and thought tokens as well as types; this reveals that the dispute is not terminological but ontological. I proceed to offer an argument for mental‐ism. The key step is to establish that concepts and thoughts have lexical as well as semantic pr…

The Contingent A Priori and Implicit Knowledge
By introducing a name ‘one meter’ and stipulating that it refers to the length of stick S, the stipulator appears to be in a position to gain immediate (and arguably a priori ) knowledge of a mind‐ and language‐independent fact—the fact that the length of stick S is one meter. It appears that other users of the name can gain this knowledge only through empirical enquiry. I argue that this presents a paradox. After clarifying the nature of the par…

Religious education in contemporary Ukraine
This explanatory note relates to my article 'Religious education in contemporary Ukraine: some courses of study analysed', RSS, vol. 22, no. 2, 1994, pp. 209-35. Two month-long field trips to Ukraine (November-December 1993 and September-October 1994) revealed that even among those professionally involved in education there is much confusion about religious education. Indeed, reliable information is hard to come by, and the present situation is c…

The religious roots of change in present‐day Russia
was the title of one paper. In devising this title the historian Professor Robert Daniels successfully pinpointed three prominent themes that were to emerge from a particularly full and stimulating programme: firstly, the notion of a quest; secondly, the attempt to characterise and evaluate a particular tradition, namely a Russian tradition of spirituality and religious philosophy; and thirdly, the attempt to gauge the utility and applicability o…
