Mapping a Culture of Mindfulness
Definitions of meditation among lay people
The purpose of this mixed method interdisciplinary study was to investigate lay individuals’ (i.e., community members’ and college students’) perceptions and understandings of meditation. Within our analytic sample (n = 200), participants completed an online survey. Specifically, we asked each participant to define “meditation” in their own words, and then we used thematic analysis to identify themes from their responses. Further, we analyzed res…
Resolving two tensions in (Neo-)Aristotelian approaches to self-control
Silencing, Psychological Conflict, and the Distinction Between Virtue and Self-Control
Continence, temperance, and motivational conflict
Traditional neo-Aristotelian accounts hold that temperance and continence are distinct character traits that are distinguished by the extent to which their bearers experience motivational conflict. In this paper, I formulate two pairs of necessary conditions – which, collectively, I call the conformity thesis – that articulate this distinction. Then, drawing on work in contemporary social and personality psychology, I argue that the conformity th…

Abstraction and Explanatory Relevance; or, Why Do the Special Sciences Exist
Nonreductive physicalists have long used multiple realizability to argue for the explanatory “autonomy” of the special sciences. Recently, in the face of the local reduction and disjunctive property responses to multiple realizability, some defenders of nonreductive physicalism have suggested that autonomy can be grounded merely in human cognitive limitations. In this article, I argue that this is mistaken. By distinguishing between two kinds of …
Of Mice and Metaphysics
In this paper, I answer a fundamental question facing any view according to which natural selection is a population-level causal process—namely, how is the causal process of natural selection related to, yet not preempted by, causal processes that occur at the level of individual organisms? Without an answer to this grounding question, the population-level causal view appears unstable—collapsing into either an individual-level causal interpretati…
