  • Making sense of domain specificity

    Open AccessEric Margolis, Sophie Laurence et al.ARTICLECognition2023

    The notion of domain specificity plays a central role in some of the most important debates in cognitive science. Yet, despite the widespread reliance on domain specificity in recent theorizing in cognitive science, this notion remains elusive. Critics have claimed that the notion of domain specificity can't bear the theoretical weight that has been put on it and that it should be abandoned. Even its most steadfast proponents have highlighted puz…

    Sophie Laurence, Anne Lallemand et al.ARTICLESanté Publique2020

    For over 30 years, Médecins du Monde (MDM) has been working with people living in vulnerable conditions in order to promote and facilitate their access to fundamental human rights and healthcare. Women encountered within MDM programs have many risk factors for developing precancerous and cancerous lesions of the cervix. They may not seek or have little access to health services and preventive health measures.These findings prompted MDM to adopt a…

  • Small-scale societies exhibit fundamental variation in the role of intentions in moral judgment

    Open AccessH Clark Barrett, Alex Bolyanatz et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2016

    Significance It is widely considered a universal feature of human moral psychology that reasons for actions are taken into account in most moral judgments. However, most evidence for this moral intent hypothesis comes from large-scale industrialized societies. We used a standardized methodology to test the moral intent hypothesis across eight traditional small-scale societies (ranging from hunter-gatherer to pastoralist to horticulturalist) and t…

  • Artifacts and Original Intent

    H Clark Barrett, Sophie Laurence et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cognition and Culture2008Cited by: 1References: 1

    How do people decide what category an artifact belongs to? Previous studies have suggested that adults and, to some degree, children, categorize artifacts in accordance with the design stance, a categorization system which privileges the designer's original intent in making categorization judgments. However, these studies have all been conducted in Western, technologically advanced societies, where artifacts are mass produced. In this study, we e…

  • Concepts and Conceptual Analysis

    Open AccessSophie Laurence, Stephen Laurence et al.ARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…2003Cited by: 10References: 1

    Conceptual analysis is undergoing a revival in philosophy, and much of the credit goes to Frank Jackson. Jackson argues that conceptual analysis is needed as an integral component of so‐called serious metaphysics and that it also does explanatory work in accounting for such phenomena as categorization, meaning change, communication, and linguistic understanding. He even goes so far as to argue that opponents of conceptual analysis are implicitly …

  • Lewis' Strawman

    Eric Margolis, Sophie Laurence et al.ARTICLEThe Philosophical Quarterly2002References: 7

    In a survey of his views in the philosophy of mind, David Lewis criticizes much recent work in the field by attacking an imaginary opponent, ‘Strawman’. His case against Strawman focuses on four central theses which Lewis takes to be widely accepted among contemporary philosophers of mind. The theses concern (1) the language of thought hypothesis and its relation to folk‐psychology, (2) narrow content, (3) de se content, and (4) rationality. We r…

  • The Poverty of the Stimulus Argument

    Sophie Laurence, Stephen Laurence et al.ARTICLEThe British Journal for the…2001Cited by: 11References: 9

    Noam Chomsky's Poverty of the Stimulus Argument is one of the most famous and controversial arguments in the study of language and the mind. Though widely endorsed by linguists, the argument has met with much resistance in philosophy. Unfortunately, philosophical critics have often failed to fully appreciate the power of the argument. In this paper, we provide a systematic presentation of the Poverty of the Stimulus Argument, clarifying its struc…
