Peace in Gaza
This paper identifies five normal pre-requisites for ending a war by a formal peace agreement and argues that none of the five conditions is satisfied by both sides in the war between Israel and Hamas. Each side must be a valid interlocutor (‘interlocuteur valable’) and must recognize the other side as a valid interlocutor. There must be a degree of mutual trust and a willingness to compromise on both sides. Finally, there must be mechanisms for …
Emancipatory Epistemology
It has been argued that naturalized epistemology contributes to emancipatory political change by helping to undermine ideologies that contribute to human oppression. To make it plausible that theoretical philosophy can be politically emancipatory, it is necessary to provide a theory of change that identifies a pathway from theoretical philosophy to political change. Those who regard naturalized epistemology as emancipatory lack a convincing theor…

Can Terrorism Ever Be Morally Justified
This paper provides a framework to make moral sense of terrorism. The framework consists in a test, referred to as the MODAL test, which is an acronym standing for five tests or principles for determining the moral defensibility or indefensibility of terrorism. The five principles concern the motives for terrorism, its objectives, destructiveness, availability of alternatives, and likelihood of success. This approach makes it conceivable but high…
How to Survive a Crisis
The Epistemology of Democracy
This chapter explores one aspect of the current affectively charged political climate: “the politics of resentment.” This expression is meant to capture a political outlook or perspective shaped by the reactive attitude, or moral emotion, of resentment. Such an outlook is characteristic of those who feel “left behind” or experience themselves as having become “strangers in their own land.” Their resentment is a bitter response to a perceived loss…
Conspiracy Theories
Current thinking about conspiracy theories is dominated by epistemological and psychological approaches. The former see the study of conspiracy theories as a branch of epistemology and insist that each theory should be judged on its evidential merits. On this account, a conspiracy theory is an explanation of an event which cites a conspiracy as a salient cause. Psychological approaches explain belief in conspiracy theories by reference to individ…

Doubt as a Political Virtue
This article explicates the notion of doubt and the relationship of doubt to belief and conviction. It distinguishes three types of political virtue—leadership, systemic, and corrective—and considers whether doubt is a political virtue in any of these three senses. It is argued that while doubt is not a leadership virtue, it is a systemic and a corrective virtue. Specifically, it is potentially an antidote to methods, ideological, and psychologic…
Extremism
Extremism is one of the most charged and controversial issues of the twenty-first century. Despite myriad programs of deradicalization and prevention around the world, it remains an intractable and poorly understood problem. Yet it is also sometimes regarded as a positive force – according to Martin Luther King Jr., 'the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be'. In this much-needed and lucid book, Qua…

Misunderstanding vaccine hesitancy
This paper argues that vice-charging, the practice of charging other persons with epistemic vice, can itself be epistemically vicious. It identifies some potential vices of vice-charging and identifies knowledge of other people as a type of knowledge that is obstructed by epistemically vicious attributions of epistemic vice. The hazards of vice-charging are illustrated by reference to the accusation that parents who hesitate to give their childre…
Philosophy of education in a new key
This collective paper on radicalization and violent extremism part of the ‘Philosophy of education in a new key’ initiative by Educational Philosophy and Theory brings together some of the leading contemporary scholars writing on the most pressing epistemological, ethical, political and educational issues facing post-9/11 scholarship on radicalization and violent extremism. Its overall aim is to move beyond the ‘conventional wisdom’ associated wi…

Vice Epistemology
Vice epistemology is the philosophical study of the nature, identity, and epistemological significance of intellectual vices. Such vices include gullibility, dogmatism, prejudice, closed-mindedness, and negligence. These are intellectual character vices, that is, intellectual vices that are also character traits. I ask how the notion of an intellectual character vice should be understood, whether such vices exist, and how they might be epistemolo…

Knowledge, Perception and Analysis
A point that Strawson often emphasized in his writings is that the concepts of knowledge and perception are closely linked. For example, the idea of such a link does important work in his exposition and defence of a causal analysis of perception. According to this analysis a material object M is perceived by a subject S only if M causes an experience in S. Why should this be? One reason, according to Strawson, is that such a causal requirement on…

Subjects and Objects
Is it a necessary condition of self-consciousness that one conceives of oneself as a physical object? On one interpretation, what makes an object a physical object is its possession of primary qualities such as shape, solidity and location. On this interpretation, a physical object is, in essence, a bounded spaceoccupier, and to conceive of oneself as a physical object is to conceive of the subject of one's thoughts and experiences as shaped, spa…
