- Trypanosomosis and Transhumance: Contributions to Contemporary Conflicts Between Farmers and Herdsmen Along the Tsetse Fly Belts: Mathematical Modeling and Systematic Field Analysis Approach.Paul Olalekan Odeniran, Akindele Akano Onifade, Kehinde Foluke Paul-Odeniran, John Ohiolei, Oluwaseun Adeolu Ogundijo & Isaiah Oluwafemi AdemolaConflicts within the tsetse fly belt revealed a strong correlation between the dynamics of bovine trypanosomosis and the insurgency involving farmers and herders in Nigeria and parts of West Africa. This study examined the history, causes and influence of farmers-herdsmen conflicts on banditry, terrorism and food security as it relates to the epidemiology of African animal trypanosomosis (AAT). A combination of literature database searches, semi-structured questionnaires, and mathematical modeling was employed. The study found that transhumance contributes significantly to conflicts between (...)

- Ordered abelian groups that do not have elimination of imaginaries.Martina LiccardoWe investigate the property of elimination of imaginaries for some special cases of ordered abelian groups. We show that certain Hahn products of ordered abelian groups do not eliminate imaginaries in the pure language of ordered groups. Moreover, we prove that, adding finitely many constants to the language of ordered abelian groups, the theories of the finite lexicographic products $$\mathbb {Z}^n$$ and $$\mathbb {Z}^n \times \mathbb {Q}$$ have definable Skolem functions.No categories

- Seeming and reflective awareness.Blake McAllisterIn Appearance & Explanation, Kevin McCain and Luca Moretti argue that phenomenal explanationism (PE) offers a superior account to phenomenal conservatism (PC) as to why seemings justify. One of their arguments for this position is that PE is in a better position to respond to skepticism than PC, since the latter faces the problem of reflective awareness while the former does not. I deny that PE has any such advantage. To the contrary, I argue that PC offers a superior response (...)
- Defending phenomenal explanationism: responses to Fumerton, Huemer, McAllister, Piazza, Steup, and Zhang.Kevin McCain & Luca MorettiNo categories
- Phenomenal explanationism and non-inferential justification.Tommaso PiazzaIn this note, I argue that McCain and Moretti’s account of non-inferential justification is subject to the subjective point of view objection, and that for this reason, it does not provide an internalistically acceptable alternative to the account of this justification supplied by Huemer’s Phenomenal Conservatism (PC). Moreover, I contend that PC’s account is not afflicted by the same problem and that it does not generate the over-intellectualization and regress problem. Finally, contra McCain and Moretti, I argue that the non-inferential (...)
- Existential risk and equal political liberty.J. Joseph Porter & Adam F. GibbonsRawls famously argues that the parties in the original position would agree upon the two principles of justice. Among other things, these principles guarantee equal political liberty—that is, democracy—as a requirement of justice. We argue on the contrary that the parties have reason to reject this requirement. As we show, by Rawls’ own lights, the parties would be greatly concerned to mitigate existential risk. But it is doubtful whether democracy always minimizes such risk. Indeed, no one currently knows which political (...)
- Problems for phenomenal explanationism.Matthias SteupI raise several problems for Phenomenal Explanationism, which McCain and Moretti intend to be a fusion of Evidentialism and Phenomenal Conservatism. I argue that the view is actually a non-conservative, credentialist view. Unlike conservatism, it does not allow for immediate justification. I also argue that the view has trouble accounting for justification coming from background knowledge. Finally, I argue that the view runs into the problem of equally good explanations.
- What naturalism? great apes, old-fashioned philosophy, an the McDowellian language game.Corijn van MazijkThe article discusses certain limitations of the “McDowellian language game” and its approach to naturalism, arguing that it remains too detached from contemporary scientific insights on mind and life. I question the relevance of McDowell’s conceptual framework—focusing on concepts like “second nature”, “Bildung”, and “reason” — for addressing empirical, scientifically grounded theories about human nature. As an alternative, I discuss my own interdisciplinary approach, which seeks (among others) to integrate findings from primate studies on gaze following and proto-referential gestures to (...)No categories

- Wisdom, Intellectual Virtue, and Epistemology.Shane RyanThis paper argues that a wise person is an intellectually virtuous person. The intellectual virtue requirement is explained as a necessary condition for wisdom, intuitively the highest epistemic good. This provides an answer to Duncan Pritchard’s question as to the significance of the intellectual virtues for the epistemological project. In other words, the requirement explains why the intellectual virtues are central to the concerns of epistemology. The paper starts by providing an overview of intellectual virtue. An overview of recent analytic (...)No categories

- A note on formalizing discussive logic.Hitoshi Omori & Igor SedlarDiscussive logic was introduced by Jaskowski as a logic of discussion. In this note we show that some natural translation-based formalizations of discussive logic in modal logic do not yield a paraconsistent logic but rather classical logic. Some alternative modal formalizations of discussive logic that avoid the collapse into classical logic are put forward.
- On a Suggested Logic for Paraconsistent Mathematics.John SlaneyThe logic subDL and its quantified extension subDLQ were proposed by Badia and Weber (Dialethism and its Applications, 2019: 155-176) as a basis for developing a version of mathematics in which paradoxes are harmless. In the present paper, subDL as defined in the literature is shown to be too strong to support the theories which motivate it. The crucial point is that contraction is derivable in subDL. It follows that the semantic structure used by Badia and Weber to invalidate contraction (...)
- Negated Implications in Connexive Relevant Logics.Andrew TedderConnexive expansions of relevant logics tend to prove every negated implication formula. In this paper I discuss why they tend to satisfy this unsavoury property, and discuss avenues by which it can be avoided, providing logics which stand as proofs of concept that these avenues can be made to work.

- Un-binding the Umwelt: The Differential Contributions of the Five Classical Senses can be Understood Through Hindu Tantra.Anand Venkatraman, Anand Viswanathan & Shyam Sudarshan RaoInformation from our senses, memories and thoughts is bound together into a unified whole that constitutes our experience of our world, our Umwelt. However, our ability to investigate our Umwelt through standard Western-derived neuroscience is limited, because of the third-person approach that undergirds the field. Achieving greater coherence in our understanding requires the addition of an approach which is fundamentally integrative. The most comprehensive first-person approach to the nervous system can be found in the introspective traditions of Tantric Hinduism. In (...)

- Ethical dilemmas concerning orthodontic treatment among orthodontists in a sample from Saudi Arabia: a pilot study.Nawaf H. Al Shammary & Abdulrahman K. AlshammariEthics is based on moral principles that should be the foundation for every healthcare decision, however, ethical concepts can often be challenging to define in specific clinical scenarios. There are several instances where a practising clinician often finds it difficult to make a proper decision despite maintaining integrity and professionalism. The objective of the present study was to explore the ethical dilemma faced by orthodontists practicing in Saudi Arabia concerning orthodontic treatment. This was a questionnaire-based cross-sectional study that was adapted (...)
- High-reward, high-risk technologies? An ethical and legal account of AI development in healthcare.Maelenn Corfmat, Joé T. Martineau & Catherine RégisBackground Considering the disruptive potential of AI technology, its current and future impact in healthcare, as well as healthcare professionals’ lack of training in how to use it, the paper summarizes how to approach the challenges of AI from an ethical and legal perspective. It concludes with suggestions for improvements to help healthcare professionals better navigate the AI wave. Methods We analyzed the literature that specifically discusses ethics and law related to the development and implementation of AI in healthcare as (...)
- Navigating ethics in HIV data and biomaterial management within Black, African, and Caribbean communities in Canada.Rusty Souleymanov, Bolaji Akinyele-Akanbi, Chinyere Njeze, Patricia Ukoli, Paula Migliardi, Linda Larcombe, Gayle Restall, Laurie Ringaert, Michael Payne, John Kim, Wangari Tharao & Ayn WilcoxBackground This study explored the ethical issues associated with community-based HIV testing among African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) populations in Canada, focusing on their perceptions of consent, privacy, and the management of HIV-related data and bio-samples. Methods A qualitative community-based participatory research (CBPR) approach was employed to actively engage ACB community members in shaping the research process. The design included in-depth qualitative interviews with 33 ACB community members in Manitoba, Canada. The study was guided by a Community Guiding Circle, which (...)

- Motivating Reasons, Moral Culpability, and Criminal Law.Re’em SegevConsider the following argument: (1) Whether, or the degree, persons are morally culpable ultimately depends on the (final) reasons that motivate their actions; (2) The degree to which persons are morally culpable should be a central concern of criminal law; (3) Criminal law in many countries focuses more on the beliefs and intentions of agents and less on their motivating reasons; therefore (4) Criminal law in many countries is unjust and should be revised. The premises of this argument are appealing (...)

- Sad Art Gives Voice to Our Own Sadness.Tara Venkatesan, Mario Attie-Picker, George Newman & Joshua KnobePeople tend to show greater liking for expressions of sadness when these expressions are described as art. Why does this effect arise? One obvious hypothesis would be that describing something as art makes people more likely to regard it as fictional, and people prefer expressions of sadness that are not real. We contrast this obvious hypothesis with a hypothesis derived from the philosophical literature. On this alternative hypothesis, describing something as art makes people more inclined to appropriate it, i.e., to (...)

- La voluntad de la emoción. Cólera y pensamiento en la concepción aristotélica de la voluntariedad práctica.Esteban BiedaEs harto conocido el análisis aristotélico de las distintas clases de acción humana en función de su voluntariedad e involuntariedad en Ética nicomaquea III, 1. Algo que suele llamar la atención de los especialistas es la inclusión de las acciones emocionales entre las voluntarias. En el presente trabajo intentaré dar cuenta de las razones para dicha inclusión, argumentando que surgen del marco racional que orienta la acción emocional, marco en función del cual Aristóteles puede catalogarlas como voluntarias. The Aristotelian analysis (...)No categories
- On the Intentionality of Shame and Pride.Marta CabreraThis paper argues against the widely held view according to which the main difference between shame and pride, and the rest of our emotions – such as fear, hate, surprise, joy or jealousy – is that the former are necessarily directed at the self as the intentional object of the emotion while the latter are typically oriented towards objects in the world other than the self. I examine three arguments in favour of this view and claim that further arguments should (...)No categories
- Historia, lenguaje y circunstancia. Un diálogo de la Nueva Filología con la Historia Conceptual.Esmeralda Balaguer GarcíaThe aim of this article is to establish a dialogue between the philological reform proposed by the philosopher José Ortega y Gasset in his books, called “new philology”, and the methodology established by Reinhart Koselleck’s conceptual history for analysing the semantics of concepts in their contexts. The thesis is that Ortega’s new philology as a technique of historical reason is a precedent, sometimes direct and sometimes indirect, of the Begriffsgeschichte. El objetivo de este artículo es el de establecer un diálogo (...)No categories
- Claude Lefort y la filosofía.Diego Paredes GoicocheaEl propósito de este artículo es explorar la interrogación sobre la filosofía que Claude Lefort despliega en su obra, a partir de la figura del “pensador escritor” y de la noción del “heroísmo del espíritu”. En el primer caso, la actividad de pensamiento a la que se consagra el filósofo es indisociable del trabajo de expresión implicado en la escritura de una obra. En el segundo caso, se devela una tensión entre una representación de la filosofía como saber del Uno (...)No categories
- La resonancia en la teoría crítica de Hartmut Rosa: una respuesta a los límites prácticos de la ética discursiva para las sociedades aceleradas.José Luis López GonzálezFor the sake of universalism and against totalitarianism, discursive ethics has shown with Jürgen Habermas a practical deficit by denying moral philosophy the possibility of reflecting on the alienating conditions for dialogue through a specific ethos. This article examines how Hartmut Rosa's theory of resonance can revitalise the debate on the conditions that can undermine the motivation for dialogue in accelerated societies, based not on the concept of ethos, but on the concept of Modus der Weltbeziehung [Mode of world-relationship]. En (...)No categories
- Teatralidad y exterioridad como hilos conductores de la caracterización platónica de los portadores de la caverna y los sofistas.Lucas Manuel ÁlvarezNos proponemos en este trabajo aportar nuevos argumentos en favor de una identificación entre los portadores de objetos de la alegoría de la caverna caracterizados por Sócrates en República y los sofistas caracterizados por el Extranjero en el diálogo Sofista. Enfocaremos nuestra atención en una serie de términos presentes en sendas obras, lo que nos permitirá reconocer dos tendencias compartidas por aquellos agentes: la de la teatralidad y la de la exterioridad de sus quehaceres. In this paper, we aim to (...)No categories
- El dinamismo de la intencionalidad colectiva y su fundación en la perspectiva de segunda persona como cuerpo extendido: revisitando a Husserl.Ivana María Anton MlinarLos enfoques fenomenológicos de la intersubjetividad permiten reconocer que los individuos resultan tanto “constituyentes” como “constituidos” por su reconocimiento mutuo como agentes intencionales, dando lugar a la capacidad de integrar una intencionalidad colectiva. Revisiones del aporte husserliano en el marco de estudios contemporáneos de ontología social han puesto de manifiesto la contribución novedosa de su descripción multicapa de la comunalización para explicar la integración social de los individuos. Partiendo de esta dinámica, el presente artículo se propone, por un lado, mostrar (...)No categories
- Sobre la originalidad distintiva del genio. Una revisión de las propuestas de Perloff y Goldsmith.Adrián Santamaría PérezEl presente artículo tratará de dirimir hasta qué punto el concepto de “genio no-original” propuesto por Perloff y Goldsmith es concebible. Para ello, tras una situación introductoria de su producción ensayística en el estado del arte, se reconstruirá lo que ambos autores quieren decir por los dos conceptos que integran el binomio: “originalidad” y “genio”. Después, con la ayuda de un panorama y algunos de los autores más importantes de la filosofía del arte, se comparará su propuesta conceptual con la (...)No categories
- Lejos del cielo. La dimensión cívica de los consumidores precarios.Lluís Pla VargasPersiste una concepción de los consumidores que los excluye de la ciudadanía. Pero existen razones que justifican que los consumidores deban ser comprendidos como ciudadanos. Aquí el concepto de uso social desempeña un papel fundamental. Pero la dimensión cívica del consumo ha de plantearse ahora en coordenadas distintas: la de la crisis de la ciudadanía laboral y el ascenso del precariado. Este trabajo pretende (1) exponer la conexión entre consumo y ciudadanía, (2) desarrollar el concepto de uso social como medio (...)No categories
- El papel de la filosofía y las humanidades frente a la nueva barbarie.Manuel Bermúdez VázquezLas disciplinas humanísticas y, en concreto, la filosofía, están viendo reducidas su presencia en todos los niveles del sistema educativo. Orientados hacia la formación profesional, los itinerarios educativos siguen una agenda de maximización del beneficio. La educación es vista más como un gasto que como una inversión y se buscan los resultados inmediatamente. La necesidad de ofrecer una perspectiva distinta, que reivindique la presencia de los contenidos humanísticos en nuestra sociedad, es la única salida frente al auge de la nueva (...)No categories

- The Impoverishment of Metaphysics in Pontus de Tyard’s Premier and Second Curieux.Christian TrottmannPontus de Tyard may be well known as a poet of la Pléiade, also as the bishop of Chalon-sur-Saône towards the end of his life, yet throughout all these, he was a philosopher. He played an important part in the Royal Academy in promoting philosophy in the French language, being one of the first to write in French. His metaphysics is a good example of the poverty of philosophy in the Renaissance. His first philosophical works were devoted to the arts: (...)No categories

- Wilderness values in rewilding: Transatlantic perspectives.Linde De Vroey & Arthur R. ObstThis article re-investigates the underlying values driving the rapidly growing rewilding movement in Europe and North America. In doing so, we respond to a common academic narrative that draws a sharp distinction between North American and European approaches to rewilding. Whereas the first is said to promote a colonial vision of wilderness, European rewilding is claimed to value a more inclusive notion of wildness. We challenge this narrative through a genealogical investigation into the wild(er)ness ideas that inspired rewilding, showing that (...)

- Environmental philosophy in Asia: Between eco-orientalism and ecological nationalisms.Laÿna Droz, Martin F. Fricke, Nakul Heroor, Romaric Jannel, Orika Komatsubara, Concordia Marie A. Lagasca-Hiloma, Paul Mart Jeyand J. Matangcas & Hesron H. SihombingEnvironmental philosophy – broadly conceived as using philosophical tools to develop ideas related to environmental issues – is conducted and practised in highly diverse ways in different contexts and traditions in Asia. ‘Asian environmental philosophy’ can be understood to include Asian traditions of thought as well as grassroots perspectives on environmental issues in Asia. Environmental issues have sensitive political facets tied to who has the legitimacy to decide about how natural resources are used. Because of this, the works, practices, and (...)
- Imagining rural landscapes: Making sense of a contemporary landscape identity complex in the Netherlands.Timothy Theodoor Marini Lam & Koen ArtsPeriods of accelerated societal change in European history have disrupted gradual alteration in the landscape, creating breaks with the past. This has led to, what we refer to as, the contemporary landscape identity complex in the Netherlands. Composed of dissonant narratives surrounding the landscape that play out on the societal level, the contemporary landscape identity complex may create tensions that can obstruct conservation efforts. In this article, we map out this complex. Three narrative clusters, distilled from literature and supplemented by (...)
- The anthropocentrism thesis: (mis)interpreting environmental values in small-scale societies.David SamwaysIn both radical and mainstream environmental discourses, anthropocentrism (human centredness) is inextricably linked to modern industrial society's drive to control and dominate nature and the generation of our current environmental crisis. Such environmental discourses frequently argue for a retreat from anthropocentrism and the establishment of a harmonious relationship with nature, often invoking the supposed ecological harmony of indigenous peoples and/or other small-scale societies. In particular, the beliefs and values of these societies vis-à-vis their natural environment are taken to be instrumental (...)
- Environmental orientations at work: Scientific and embodied environmental knowledge.Simon SchauppBased on two qualitative case studies undertaken in Switzerland, this article compares the positioning of Climate Strike activists and construction workers on questions of climate change, so as to analyse the impact of work practices on environmental orientations. Building on a praxeological approach, the article argues that communities of practice in workplaces and educational institutions influence environmental orientations. Everyday practice in schools and universities fosters the scientific environmental knowledge that is central to the orientations of climate activists. By contrast, the (...)
