Reclamation and the Epistemic Objectionability of Slurs
In reclamation, slurs are used in a positive way instead of the conventional derogatory way. This article discusses the idea that the meaning of slurs is not only morally but also epistemically objectionable and applies the idea to reclamation. The central claim of the proposed epistemic view is that reclamation can be seen as a way to challenge slurs as vehicles of harmful stereotypes. At the same time, the view explicates how reclamation is rel…
Murtumia talousostastolla
Laskeva kotimainen kysyntä on lisännyt lihateollisuuden intoa panostaa Aasian maihin suuntautuvaan vientikauppaan. Lihaviennin taloudellisesta kannattavuudesta ja eettisestä kestävyydestä on kuitenkin esitetty julkisuudessa epäilyksiä.

Generic View of Gendered Slurs and the Subset Argument
The neutral counterpart assumption is widely accepted in the study of slurs. It provides a simple and effective explanation for the meaning of slurs.

She argues that gendered slurs refer to a subset of their neutral counterparts. Hence, slurs are not coextensional with their counterparts. She goes on to present a view t…
Generic inferential rules for slurs and contrasting senses
This article offers a new perspective on the relationship between slurring terms and their neutral counterparts with an inferentialist view of slurs. I argue that slurs and their counterparts are coextensional with contrasting senses. Crucially, the proposed inferentialist view overcomes the combination of two challenges: Kaplanian inferences and the substitution argument. The previous views cannot account for both of them
