The Prolix and The Pleonastic
Philosophical analysis has long involved finding the “proper” form of a sentence, aiming to find a form that is “transparent” regarding its implications. Easy ontologists claim that finding the tacit ontological commitments of ordinary claims about the world is easy. Simple paraphrases and elementary deductions from those paraphrases will do, they claim. We find the easy ontologists’ arguments wanting. After examining the natures of idioms and pa…
Specialist Inpatient Detoxification from Gabapentinoids: Clinical and Demographic Characteristics and Predictors of Outcome
Gabapentinoids are increasingly implicated in drug-related deaths, and little is known about the harms of dependence or detoxification outcomes. Abrupt cessation is associated with adverse events, such as seizures, yet no standardized withdrawal scales or treatment regimens exist. This study describes the clinical and demographic characteristics of people undergoing specialist inpatient gabapentinoid detoxification in a large, regional unit in Ma…

Mathematical Explanation and Indispensability Arguments
We defend Joseph Melia's thesis that the role of mathematics in scientific theory is to ‘index’ quantities, and that even if mathematics is indispensable to scientific explanations of concrete phenomena, it does not explain any of those phenomena. This thesis is defended against objections by Mark Colyvan and Alan Baker
The methodology of genuine modal realism
Acquaintance and de re Thought
Wandering Significance: An Essay on Conceptual Behaviour. ? Mark Wilson
At the beginning of the twentieth century, physics and mathematics were in crisis. To resolve these crises, certain views drawn from ordinary life and philosophy were developed. (Russell's The Problems of Philosophy contains a paradigmatic presentation of them.) Although no scientist today would use these same views to address the original scientific concerns, they still dominate philosophical thinking. Philosophy's increasing specialization is p…
