Virtue ethics as a means of mitigating perverse effects in academia
Research evaluation systems that rely on bibliometric indicators are intended to enhance the quality of academic work. Increasingly, however, the relevant literature shows that they often produce the opposite effect. Scholarship on academic governance, management, and administration documents these unintended consequences, which stem largely from poorly designed performance indicators. We argue in this article that virtue ethics is a promising to…
Between Fiction, Reality, and Ideality
Virtual objects, such as online shops, the elements that go to make up virtual life in computer games, virtual maps, e-books, avatars, cryptocurrencies, chatbots, holograms, etc., are a phenomenon we now encounter at every turn: they have become a part of our life and our world. Philosophers—and ontologists in particular—have sought to answer the question of what, exactly, they are. They fall into two camps: some, pointing to the chimerical chara…
The topology of persons, and surviving to some degree
Braddon-Mitchell and Miller put forward the claim that the relation of being-the-same-person is gradable: a person can be the same person tomorrow as today, but only half the same. To justify their thesis, they propose a model of persons that is intended to be metaphysically neutral. This article sets out to show that such a model implicitly contains strong metaphysical assumptions that run contrary to the authors’ own statements. Using Roman Ing…
A metaphysical foundation for mathematical philosophy
Throwing spatial light
It is a well-known fact that mathematics plays a crucial role in physics; in fact, it is virtually impossible to imagine contemporary physics without it. But it is questionable whether mathematical concepts could ever play such a role in psychology or philosophy. In this paper, we set out to examine a rather unobvious example of the application of topology, in the form of the theory of persons proposed by Kurt Lewin in his Principles of Topologic…
