The Problem with the Anthropocene: Kainos , Not Anthropos
Almost immediately after it was mooted as a descriptor for our current geological age, the Anthropocene came under sustained criticism. It was said the label projected unearned heroism onto humanity as master of the natural world, while downplaying the culpability of the Global North for unlocking the ruinous potential of industrialism and technology (Bonneuil & Fressoz, 2016; Haraway, 2015; Malm, 2015; Moore, 2015). Numerous alternatives have be…
Is there a confidence condition in the concept of intention
The concept of intention is widely thought to involve a confidence condition of some sort, a condition that specifies certain beliefs that one must either have or lack if one intends to do something. Two of the most common formulations of this condition are the following: (i) A intends to X only if A believes that they (probably) will X; and (ii) A intends to X only if A does not believe that they (probably) will not X. A third, much weaker formu…

Actions, Reasons, and Intentions: Overcoming Davidson's Ontological Prejudice
This article defends the idea that causal relations between reasons and actions are wholly irrelevant to the explanatory efficacy of reason-explanations. The analysis of reason-explanations provided in this article shows that the so-called “problem of explanatory force” is solved, not by putative causal relations between the reasons for which agents act and their actions, but rather by the intentions that agents necessarily have when they act for…

Sentence Meaning, Speaker Meaning, and Davidson's Denial of Metaphorical Meaning
Cet article concerne le rejet controversé de la notion de signification métaphorique par Donald Davidson. Il a deux objectifs: d'abord, de montrer que l'argument de Davidson contre la signification mètaphorique est vicié par une ambiguîté qui, une fois révélée, lui ôte toute portée; et deuxièmement, d'expliquer d'où vient cette ambiguîté. L'explication proposée rapporte l'erreur de Davidson au sujet de la signification métaphorique à sa négligenc…
The Uses of Punishment and Exile: Aborigines in Colonial Australia
The European settlement of Australia from 1788 was accompanied by a prolonged dis-possession of the indigenous people, who became British subjects at law. Regimes of punishment played an important role in this dispossession. Focusing on the colonies of latest settlement, Western Australia and Queensland, the evidence here suggests also that conventional modes of punishment were modified to accommodate indigenous offending. Public execution and co…
Pictorial Metaphors: A Reply to Sedivy
This article is concerned with the question of whether, and to what extent, the concept of metaphor properly applies to pictures (e.g., paintings or photographs). The question is approached dialectically through an examination of the views of Sonia Sedivy, who advances the following 4 claims: (a) that pictures possess propositional content, (b) that there are metaphoric pictures, (c) that metaphoric pictures do not possess metaphoric content, and…
Judicial violence and the ‘civilizing process’: Race and the transition from public to private executions in Colonial Australia∗
This article examines the impact racial tensions exerted upon the transition from public to private executions in colonial Australia. Beginning with an analysis of the abolition of public executions in the Australian colonies, it then focuses upon the execution of Aboribines in Queensland, South Australia and Western Australia during the mid‐century transition from public to private punishment. Finally, an analysis of the operation of semipublic …

Bulimia: An Empirical Analysis of Psychodynamic Theory
This study examined two aspects of psychodynamic theory concerning bulimia nervosa, that bulimic patients ascribe to a traditionally feminine sex-role and that bulimic women have difficulty differentiating emotional from visceral sensations. 18 bulimic and 18 control women were administered the Bem Sex-role Inventory and the Eating Disorder Inventory. Contrary to dynamic theory, bulimic women were not more likely classified as traditionally femin…

Aggression and Sociometric Status with Preschool Children
A naturalistic time-sampling observational technique and a picture sociometric interview were used in studying the relationship between aggressive behavior and social status among preschool children. It was found that males, overall, were more aggressive than females. Additionally, when only those children who were above the median on amount of aggression for their own sex were identified, the following relationship between sex, social status and…
