Attitudes of social science students in Israel and Austria towards the Belated Twins scenario—an exploratory study
This article discusses results of a questionnaire survey of 156 university students in Israel and Austria examining reactions towards the Belated Twins scenario, which entails the artificial twinning of embryos of which one is immediately carried to term while the other one is born later. The scenario resembles a case of human reproductive cloning in terms of result (the creation of genetically identical individuals in a time-delayed manner) but …
A Jewish and Democratic State’
This article discusses the Israeli constitutional phrase 'A Jewish and Democratic State'. It presents the map of different interpretations of the phrase and proposes a method of navigating among them. Then, one interpretation of the phrase is defended in contrast with all the other ones, which are rejected. This is the interpretation according to which there is no inconsistency in the depiction of a state as being both a nation-state and a democr…

Differential Effects of Right- and Left-Hemisphere Damage on Understanding Sarcasm and Metaphor
Two subtests-Sarcasm Comprehension and Metaphor Comprehension-of Gardner and Brownell's (1986) Right Hemisphere Communication Battery, adapted to Hebrew, were administered to 27 right-brain-damaged (RBD) patients, 31 left-brain-damaged (LBD) patients, and 21 age-matched normal controls. RBD patients tended to score somewhat lower than LBD patients on Sarcasm Comprehension and higher than LBD patients on Metaphor Comprehension. Both patient groups…

Religious Concepts of Punishment and Reward
Not all theological problems have had the same share of philosophical luck. The problem of evil, for example, has been subjected to intense and thorough scrutiny both by theologians such as Augustine and by philosophers such as Leibniz. By contrast, the concepts of reward and punishment - which for so long have played a major role in the theologies of many religions - have been relatively neglected by contemporary philosophy of religion. If the t…
Are speech acts conventional
On the psychological reality of pragmatics
This paper argues for the psychological reality of pragmatics, challenging the prevailing view in linguistics and philosophy of language that separates pragmatics from the core semantic system. Kasher proposes that pragmatic principles, specifically those related to conversational implicature and speech act theory, are not merely post-hoc interpretations but are integral to the process of utterance comprehension. He supports this claim by analyzi…
