Overcoming the Big Divide? The IJPS and the Analytic Continental Schism
Philosophy in the 20th century witnessed a schism between so called 'analytic' and 'continental' schools of philosophy. One of the aims of the IJPS from its inception was to provide a space for articles attempting to overcome, or at least foreshorten, that divide. This paper critically examines the various understandings of the divide and takes a quick glance at some of the attempts to bridge it
Experts-Part II: The Sources of Epistemic Authority
This paper investigates the topic of epistemic authority from the perspective of the ordinary people facing expert testimony. In particular, two central questions are discussed: how one should respond to expert testimony; and what should one do before expert disagreement
Experts - Part I: What They Are and How to Identify Them
This paper investigates the topic of expertise in cognitive domains from a socio-epistemological perspective. In particular, two central questions in the epistemology of expertise are discussed: what an expert is according to extant theories on the market; and how ordinary people can identify an expert in domains in which they have no competence of their own
The Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Disagreement
Disagreement is one of the deepest and most pervasive topics in philosophy, arguably its very bedrock, and is an ever-increasing feature of politics, ethics, public policy, science and many other areas. Despite the omnipresence of disagreement, the topic itself has received relatively little sustained examination. In this outstanding handbook a team of international contributors examines the philosophy of disagreement and how it extends to debate…

Ethics and the Emotions: An Introduction to the Special Issue
This introduction provides brief outlines of the articles collected in this special issue of the International Journal of Philosophical Studies on the topic of Ethics and Emotions. It also announces the winners of the 2021 Robert Papazian and PERITIA prizes
Scepticism and the value of distrust
Faced with urgent calls for more trust in experts, especially in high impact and politically sensitive domains, such as climate science and COVID-19, the complex nature of public trust in experts and the need for a more critical approach to the topic are easy to overlook. Scepticism – at least in its Humean mitigated form that encourages independent, questioning attitudes – can prove valuable to democratic governance, but stands in opposition to …
Themes from Testimonial Injustice and Trust: Introduction to the Special Issue
Testimony has a specific epistemological vulnerability problem: What we come to know and understand is highly dependent on the cognitive labour and epistemic contributions of others. However, to fo

Vulnerability and Trust: An Introduction
Annette Baier (1986, 235) famously argued that a distinguishing mark of trust, as opposed to mere reliance and other attitudes in its neighbourhood, is that to trust is to accept vulnerability to a
From Trust to Trustworthiness
Divergent Perspectives on Expert Disagreement: Preliminary Evidence from Climate Science, Climate Policy, Astrophysics, and Public Opinion
We report the results of an exploratory study that examines the judgments of climate scientists, climate policy experts, astrophysicists, and non-experts (N = 3367) about the factors that contribute to the creation and persistence of disagreement within climate science and astrophysics and about how one should respond to expert disagreement. We found that, as compared to non-experts, climate experts believe that within climate science (i) there i…
Relativism
Philosophy in the Twentieth Century
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book argues that the radically different readings of William James’s Principles of Psychology by Edmund Husserl and Ludwig Wittgenstein have contributed significantly to the differing methodological orientations and preoccupations of Phenomenology and Analytic Philosophy. It discusses important connections that ran between pragmatic a…
Pragmatism and the European Traditions: Encounters with Analytic Philosophy and Phenomenology Before the Great Divide
The turn of the twentieth century witnessed the birth of two distinct philosophical schools in Europe: Analytic Philosophy and Phenomenology. The history of twentiethcentury philosophy is often written as an account of the development of one or both of these schools, as well as their overt or covert mutual hostility. What is often left out of this history is the relationship between the two European schools and a third significant philosophical e…
Relativism: Philosophical Aspects
Rorty, Richard (1931–2007)
Putnam, Hilary (1926–)
The Puzzle of Self-Deception
It is commonly accepted that people can, and regularly do, deceive themselves. Yet closer examination reveals a set of conceptual puzzles that make self-deception difficult to explain. Applying the conditions for other-deception to self-deception generates what are known as the 'paradoxes' of belief and intention. Simply put, the central problem is how it is possible for me to believe one thing, and yet intentionally cause myself to simultaneousl…
