  • Woodhouse Heresies

    Open AccessRichard GaskinsARTICLEVictoria University of Wellington…2024

    The radical principles behind the 1967 Woodhouse Report were eclipsed by shifting political styles—and gradually abandoned as heretical. We can now turn to Sir Owen's own notion, that "the apparent heresies of one generation become the orthodoxies of the next", to explore how core Woodhouse heresies might themselves perform this transition: providing fresh support for a generation grappling with headline challenges of climate change and pandemic …

  • Future Contingency and Classical Indeterminism

    Open AccessRichard GaskinsARTICLEErkenntnis2023

    A position that has been called ‘classical indeterminism’ has recently been developed in order to model vagueness: this approach appeals to an object-language ‘determinately’ operator, the semantics of which are defined in such a way as to preserve the principle of bivalence. I suggest that a prominent argument against this strategy, which I call the Field–Williamson argument, fails. The classical indeterminist position in its general form was an…

  • Disjunctivism and the Paradox of Tragedy

    Open AccessRichard Gaskins, Richard GaskinARTICLEThe Philosophical Quarterly2023Referencias: 12

    The paper offers a disjunctivist solution to the paradox of tragedy. The first part of the paper defends a version of disjunctivism as that doctrine is understood in the epistemology of perception, and contrasts it with its rival, conjunctivism. In the second part of the paper, it is argued that the traditional paradox of tragedy—the question why tragedy gives pleasure—can be solved by adopting a disjunctivist approach to the relevant felt emotio…

  • From the unity of the proposition to linguistic idealism

    Open AccessRichard Gaskins, Richard GaskinARTICLESynthese2019Citada por: 1Referencias: 14

    The paper contains a general argument for linguistic idealism, which it approaches by way of some considerations relating to the unity of the proposition and Tractarian metaphysics. Language exhibits a function–argument structure, but does it do so because it is reflecting how things are in the world, or does the relation of dependence run in the other direction (or in neither)? The paper argues that the general structure of the world is asymmetr…

  • Sophocles

    Open AccessRichard Gaskins, Richard GaskinARTICLEThe British Journal of Aesthetics2019Citada por: 5

    Sophocles’ Oedipus the King is one of the founding documents of the European literary and humanistic tradition; it has left its mark on our collective imagination in a way that few other works have done.1 For that reason alone the appearance of a new scholarly commentary on the Greek text is greatly to be welcomed. Patrick Finglass has already published two substantial Sophoclean commentaries: on Electra and Ajax.2 To these he now adds a third. N…

  • Horace and Housman

    Open AccessRichard Gaskins, Richard GaskinBOOKHorace and Housman2013

    The lyric poems of Horace and Housman are two enigmatic bodies of work that have much in common, and a close reading of each poet's writings can illuminate the other's. This is the first book to provi

  • Horace’s Attitude to Religion

    Open AccessRichard Gaskins, Richard GaskinCHAPTERHorace and Housman2013

    In “Diffugere nives” Horace tells us that Minos, one of the three judges of the underworld, will pronounce his glorious sentence ( splendida arbitrio ) on Torquatus, the addressee of the ode. It is not obvious whether Horace mentions the glory of the sentence as a compliment to Minos or to Torquatus: the commentators are split on the issue, Porphyrio (i, p. 328) and Orelli (i, p. 328), for example, selecting the former option, while Heinze took t…

  • Questions of Integrity and Consistency

    Open AccessRichard Gaskins, Richard GaskinCHAPTERHorace and Housman2013

    In the last chapter I assumed that one can sensibly wonder whether Horace’s praise of Augustus was genuine, and I suggested that we should say that it was. Nisbet and Hubbard, by contrast, give short shrift to the question of Horace’s sincerity: “There is no point in questioning Horace’s sincerity: fides to Maecenas required co-operation, there was no sane alternative to the regime, and everybody likes to participate in important causes” ([1], p.…

  • Language, Truth, and Literature

    Richard Gaskins, Richard GaskinBOOKLanguage Truth And Literature A…2013

    Richard Gaskin offers an original defence of literary humanism according to which works of imaginative literature have an objective meaning which is fixed at the time of production and not subject to individual readers' responses. He shows that the appreciation of literature is a cognitive activity fully on a par with scientific investigation

  • The Unity of the Proposition

    Richard Gaskins, Richard GaskinBOOKThe unity of the proposition2008

    Richard Gaskin analyses what is distinctive about sentences and the propositions they express - what marks them off from mere aggregates of words and meanings respectively. Since he identifies the world with all the true and false propositions his account has significant implications for our understanding of the nature of reality.

    This volume analyses ancient and medieval theories of intentionality in various contexts: perception, imagination, and intellectual thinking. It sheds new light on classical theories (e.g. by Aristotle and Thomas Aquinas) and examines neglected sources, both Greek and Latin. It includes contributions by J. Biard, M. Burnyeat, V. Caston, D. Frede, R. Gaskin, E. Karger, C. Michon, D. O'Meara, C. Panaccio, R. Pasnau, D. Perler, Ch. Rapp, P. Simons, …

  • Middle knowledge, fatalism and comparative similarity of worlds

    Open AccessRichard Gaskins, Richard GaskinARTICLEReligious Studies1998

    The doctrine of Middle Knowledge presupposes that conditionals of freedom (statements of the form ‘If A were circumstances C, he would perform X’) can be true. Such conditions are, where true, not true in virtue of the truth of any categorical proposition. Nor can their truth be modelled in terms of comparative similarity of possible worlds, because the structure of possible worlds is a necessary one, whereas the connection between antecedent and…

  • Fatalism, Bivalence and the Past

    Richard Gaskins, Richard GaskinARTICLEThe Philosophical Quarterly1998Referencias: 1

    In his paper ‘Some Comments on Fatalism’, The Philosophical Quartery, 46 (1996), pp. 1–11, James Cargile offers an argument against the view that the correct response to fatalism is to restrict the principle of bivalence with respect to statements about future contingencies. His argument fails because it is question-begging. Further, he fails to give due weight to the reason behind this view, which is the desire to give an adequate account of the…
