  • Keeping context in mind

    Open AccessMike BowkerARTICLELinguistics and Philosophy2024

    Arguments for context-sensitivity are often based on judgments about the truth values of sentences: a sentence seems true in one context and false in another, so it is argued that the truth conditions of the sentence shift between these contexts. Such arguments rely on the assumption that our judgments reflect the actual truth values of sentences in context. Here, I present a non-semantic explanation of these judgments. In short, our judgments ab…

  • A serpent in the garden

    Mike Bowker, Mark BowkerARTICLEInquiry2024

    This paper presents Elmar Unnsteinsson’s novel theory of Edenic Intentionalism, on which a speaker cannot refer to an object when the speaker is relevantly confused about its identity. A challenge to the theory is presented and several possible responses considered. The challenge is this: According to Edenic Intentionalism, reference often fails even when speakers seem to refer successfully. Elmar therefore supplements Edenic Intentionalism with …

  • A Problem for Generic Generalisations in Scientific Communication

    Open AccessMike BowkerARTICLEJournal of Applied Philosophy2023

    Generic generalisations like ‘Opioids are highly addictive’ are very useful in scientific communication, but they can often be interpreted in many different ways. Although this is not a problem when all interpretations provide the same answer to the question under discussion, a problem arises when a generic generalisation is used to answer a question other than that originally intended. In such cases, some interpretations of the generalisation mi…

  • Shifting perspective on indexicals

    Open AccessMike BowkerARTICLEPragmatics Quarterly Publication…2022

    The debate over the meanings of indexical expressions has relied heavily on the method of counterexamples. This paper challenges that method by showing that purported counterexamples can often be explained away by appeal to perspective shifts . For these counterexamples to establish anything about indexical reference, we must identify the conditions under which theorists can legitimately appeal to perspective shifts. Some tests for semantic conte…

  • Truth in Fiction, Underdetermination, and the Experience of Actuality

    Open AccessMike Bowker, Mark BowkerARTICLEThe British Journal of Aesthetics2021Citada por: 2Referências: 6

    It seems true to say that Sherlock Holmes is a detective, despite there being no Sherlock Holmes. When asked to explain this fact, philosophers of language often opt for some version of Lewis's view that sentences like 'Sherlock Holmes is a detective' may be taken as abbreviations for sentences prefixed with 'In the Sherlock Holmes stories ...'. I present two problems for this view. First, I provide reason to deny that these sentences are abbrevi…

  • The war in Georgia and the Western response

    Mike BowkerARTICLECentral Asian Survey2011Citada por: 3Referências: 10

    This article considers Western, and most particularly American, policy towards Tbilisi in the Russo-Georgian war of August 2008. The article does not accept the view of Russian leaders that the United States actively promoted the Georgian attack on South Ossetia. It does, however, argue that Washington's alliance with Georgia was sufficiently close to make President Saakashvili believe he would receive American support in the event of war with Ru…

  • Russia and Chechnya

    Open AccessMike BowkerARTICLENations and Nationalism2004Citada por: 5Referências: 9

    This paper considers the Chechen secessionist struggle against Russia. Although the Chechens had good moral grounds for claiming independence in November 1991, this paper shows that Yeltsin also had reasons, defensible in legal terms and liberal secessionist theory, for rejecting it. Even if Moscow had granted Chechnya independence, this would not have created peace and stability. Moscow had a right to defend its territorial integrity, but its co…

  • The Wars in Yugoslavia

    Mike BowkerARTICLEEurope Asia Studies1998Citada por: 2Referências: 4

    As YUGOSLAVIA COLLAPSED INTO WAR in 1991-92 Moscow had its problems closer to home and paid relatively little attention to events in the Balkans. Initially, Moscow was prepared to play a largely passive role in support of Western diplomatic efforts, but from 1993 Moscow showed a greater willingness to adopt a more independent pro-Serb line-a development not universally welcomed in the West, particularly as it coincided with the emergence of a vir…
