Let’s Get Serious About Social Class
Panpsychism’s problem of evil
If panpsychism is true then consciousness pervades the cosmos, and there exist many more conscious subjects than other worldviews contemplate. Panpsychism’s explanatory story about how human material composition and complexity grounds human consciousness seems to entail that there exist, notably, various conscious subjects within human organisms. Given the plausibility of the thesis that consciousness confers moral status – a thesis many panpsych…
Determining the Mental-to-Physical Relationship
Stephen Yablo suggested that the relation of mental properties to physical properties is the same as that between red and scarlet: one of determinable property to determinate property. So just as being scarlet is a specific way of being red, on Yablo’s proposal a subject’s having a certain neurological property (c-fibres firing, say) is a specific way of a subject’s having a certain mental property (pain, in this case). I explain the virtues of t…
An Argument for Unconscious Mental Qualities
Conscious mental qualities, aka phenomenal qualities, are seemingly a leading factor in much of our behaviour. Pains make us recoil from painful stimuli, itches make us scratch, feelings of anger sometimes make us shout, visually perceiving red leads us to halt at stop lights, and so on. To relinquish this claim about the efficacy of conscious mental qualities would mean surrendering a major component of our everyday, intuitive self-conception; h…

Acquaintance
Bertrand Russell famously distinguished between 'knowledge by acquaintance' and 'knowledge by description'. For much of the latter half of the twentieth century, many philosophers viewed the notion of acquaintance with suspicion, associating it with Russellian ideas that they would wish to reject. However in the past decade or two the concept has undergone a striking revival in mainstream 'analytic' philosophy-acquaintance is, it seems, respectab…
The merits of higher-order thought theories
Over many years and in many publications David Rosenthal has developed, defended and applied his justly well-known higher-order thought theory of consciousness.2 In this paper I explain the theory, then provide a brief history of a major objection to it. I suggest that this objection is ultimately ineffectual, but that behind it lies a reason to look beyond Rosenthal's theory to another sort of HOT theory. I then offer my own HOT theory as a suit…
Missing Class
Social Work and America's Middle Class
The Radical Burden
Poor, White, and Male
White people might not immediately come to mind when we discuss poverty. Statistics, nonetheless, tell us that in absolute numbers whites make up the largest group falling below the poverty line in
Social Work in the Campaign Against Predatory Consumer Financing
Subprime mortgages and related financial fraud triggered the United States economy's meltdown and Great Recession of 2007. In this interview, Eve Ekman engages Shawna Reeves, a social worker who is carving out a career in protecting elders from deceptive mortgage deals and other personal finance scams. Reeves describes her own professional path, connects direct practice and policies for reform, and encourages young social workers to take up this …
The Decimation of America's Middle Class and Its Meaning for Social Work
The current deterioration of America's middle class will test the ability of the social work profession to take the concept of class seriously and sharpen our understanding of the maldistribution of wealth as a form of oppression. The effort requires identifying and discrediting prevailing ideologies in both the popular culture and our profession. The middle-class crisis provides the opportunity to devise innovative coalitions of working-class an…
