The Passage of Time is Not an Illusion
This essay aims to review and clarify an emerging consensus among philosophers of time: that belief in the passage of time is not a matter of illusion but rather the result of a variety of cognitive error.

A close analysis of varieties of projection reveals how well this phenomenon accounts for belief in dynamic temporal passage and the objective …

The moral foundations of Nozick's libertarianism better support basing property rights on moral desert. It is neither incoherent nor implausible to say that need can be a basis for desert. By implication, the libertarian contention that persons ought to be respected as persons living sel…
