Ceteris paribus laws need machines to generate them (2014)
Journal Article
Pemberton, J., & Cartwright, N. (2014). Ceteris paribus laws need machines to generate them. Erkenntnis, 79(10), 1745-1758. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10670-014-9639-4

Most of the regularities that get represented as ‘laws’ in our sciences arise from, and are to be found regularly associated with, the successful operation of a nomological machine. Reference to the nomological machine must be included in the cp-clau... Read More about Ceteris paribus laws need machines to generate them.

A Curious Dialogical Logic and Its Composition Problem (2014)
Journal Article
Uckelman, S. L., Alama, J., & Knoks, A. (2014). A Curious Dialogical Logic and Its Composition Problem. Journal of Philosophical Logic, 43(6), 1065-1100. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10992-013-9307-1

Dialogue semantics for logic are two-player logic games between a Proponent who puts forward a logical formula φ as valid or true and an Opponent who disputes this. An advantage of the dialogical approach is that it is a uniform framework from which... Read More about A Curious Dialogical Logic and Its Composition Problem.

Narratology beyond the Human (2014)
Journal Article
Herman, D. (2014). Narratology beyond the Human. Diegesis (Wuppertal), 3(2), 131-143

This essay uses Lauren Groff’s 2011 short story “Above and Below” to explore aspects of a narratology beyond the human, considering how ideas developed by scholars of narrative bear on questions about the nature and scope of human-animal relationship...

Gambaudo, S. (2014). Kristeva, Ethics and Intellectual Practice. Text Matters: A Journal of Literature, Theory and Culture, 4(4), 145-160. https://doi.org/10.2478/texmat-2014-0010

The aim of this article is to revisit the work of the French philosopher Julia Kristeva and ask what place we might give her conceptual framework today. I will focus on one key aspect of Kristeva’s work, sexual difference, as that which ties most, if... Read More about Kristeva, Ethics and Intellectual Practice.

Accounting for the phenomenology and varieties of auditory verbal hallucination within a predictive processing framework (2014)
Journal Article
Wilkinson, S. (2014). Accounting for the phenomenology and varieties of auditory verbal hallucination within a predictive processing framework. Consciousness and Cognition, 30, 142-155. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.concog.2014.09.002

Two challenges that face popular self-monitoring theories (SMTs) of auditory verbal hallucination (AVH) are that they cannot account for the auditory phenomenology of AVHs and that they cannot account for their variety. In this paper I show that both... Read More about Accounting for the phenomenology and varieties of auditory verbal hallucination within a predictive processing framework.

Does the inherence heuristic take us to psychological essentialism? (2014)
Journal Article
Marmodoro, A., Murphy, R. A., & Baker, A. (2014). Does the inherence heuristic take us to psychological essentialism?. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 37(05), 494-495. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0140525x13003798

We argue that the claim that essence-based causal explanations emerge, hydra-like, from an inherence heuristic is incomplete. No plausible mechanism for the transition from concrete properties, or cues, to essences is provided. Moreover, the fundamen...

A New Explanatory Challenge for Nonnaturalists (2014)
Journal Article
Cowie, C. (2014). A New Explanatory Challenge for Nonnaturalists. Res Philosophica, 91(4), 661-679. https://doi.org/10.11612/resphil.2014.91.4.3

According to some contemporary nonnaturalists about normativity (e.g., Parfit, Scanlon, Dworkin), normative facts exist in an ontologically non-committing sense. These nonnaturalists face an explanatory burden. They must explain their claim that norm... Read More about A New Explanatory Challenge for Nonnaturalists.

A focus on the history of light microscopy for cell culture (2014)
Journal Article
Lancaster, C. (2014). A focus on the history of light microscopy for cell culture. Kaleidoscope (Durham), 6(1), 27-47

This essay will consider the use and influence of light microscopy (and its variants) in biological cell culture. Improvements in technology generated several instruments for use by scholars in the sixteenth and seventeenth century, and the microscop...

Two Approaches to Reasoning From Evidence or What Econometrics Can Learn From Biomedical Research (2014)
Journal Article
Reiss, J. (2015). Two Approaches to Reasoning From Evidence or What Econometrics Can Learn From Biomedical Research. Journal of Economic Methodology, 22(3), 373-390. https://doi.org/10.1080/1350178x.2015.1071510

This paper looks at an appeal to the authority of biomedical research that has recently been used by empirical economists to motivate and justify their methods. I argue that those who make this appeal mistake the nature of biomedical research. Random...

What is a “sense of foreshortened future?” A phenomenological study of trauma, trust, and time (2014)
Journal Article
Ratcliffe, M., Ruddell, M., & Smith, B. (2014). What is a “sense of foreshortened future?” A phenomenological study of trauma, trust, and time. Frontiers in Psychology, 5, Article 1026. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.01026

One of the symptoms of trauma is said to be a “sense of foreshortened future.” Without further qualification, it is not clear how to interpret this. In this paper, we offer a phenomenological account of what the experience consists of. To do so, we f...
