...- freys. Again, philosophers will find a lot to chew on here. There are many other facets of Howie’s lovely book that deserve comment (for example, his lucid account of the dispute between Fisher and Jerzy Ney- man), but I hope to have conveyed at least some of its richness. Interpreting Prob...

... and corollary are supposed to relate truth-in to the ordinary notion of truth, but they apply the latter notion to I,for sentences + of SC. Truth is a property of natural language sentences or propositions; d is nei- ther. The introduction of the notion d”quoted above is obscure. One recon- struction...

... offered “How Can We Be Moved by the Fate of Anna Karen- ina?” It was not the job of my replier, Michael Weston, to agree with me, but nei- ther has anyone else agreed—at least, not in that part of the subsequent dis- cussions with which I am familiar. Neither does Robert Yanal, who comments...

.... But this is no ordinary treatment of the topic. Somewhat controversially, he examines Kant’s contributions nei- ther in terms of how we should read him nor how the German idealists actually read him, but rather how German idealists should read Kant (8). In doing so, he argues that Kant and the German idealists both...

... the reductionist stances of Alyssa Ney and John Heil [78]; it wasn’t clear to me that it was consistently honored, however, when she was criticizing the weak emergentist accounts rival to her own offered by Mark Bedau [169] and Sandra Mitchell [172].) Wilson takes seriously the charge that there is reason...

... constraints to allow for the unambiguous recovery of ordinary 3D reality. While I agree that wave function monistic accounts of ordinary reality (e.g., Albert’s functionalism or Ney’s priority monism) yield an explanatory gap (even given the 3D-ish structure of GRW jumps), I was puzzled here. All type-B...

... was never a zygote, then I didn’t exist before or during the existence of the zygote to which I’m intimately related. Conception occurred either before or during the existence of that zygote. Hence if I was never a zygote, then I existed nei- ther before...

... where ‘x is ⌽’ is not true (that is, false or nei- ther true nor false). On a strong reading of the negation, employed ⌽ throughout in the Standard Analysiss, ‘x is not- ’ is true just in case ‘x is ⌽’ is false; and so the sentences ‘x is ⌽’ and ‘x...

... and stipulate that “quidditism” refers to a view on which it is possible for them to switch roles. See Lewis (2009) for a discussion of this issue.  6. Leibniz famously drew this conclusion in the case of space. Shoemaker (1984) and Ney (2007) draw this conclusion in the case of quidditism...

..., the assumption of a well-founded partial ordering and the Covering aspect of the tiling con- straint both help to render Monism and Pluralism exhaustive. These could be waived, though then one would need to consider the prospect that nei- ther the one whole nor a complete plurality of its parts are basic...

...) with the same context. On the Indexical Theory, the contexts are different, because they contain dif- ferent demonstrations. But the demonstrations demonstrate the same object: namely, Ortcutt. That is, there is only one demonstratum. So, on the Bare Bones Theory, there is only one context. As a result, nei...

Other examples-most taken...

An adequate nonstandard notion of completion can possess nei- ther of these characteristics. It cannot be sensitive...

... is the sense supplemented with a reference, the full sense. Context affects the answer to (i ) but not (ii ); in contrast, it affects nei- ther with proper names. Thus, depending upon whether judgeable con- tent or invariance is at issue, a thought can come to be seen in different ways. If we ask...

... try to reply that there is an equivalent of the Doomsday Argument that confirms QMS and is cancelled out by the confirmation of QME. But there isn’t. Indeed, I argued earlier that nei- ther QME nor QMS is confirmed by discovering which branch you are on, so there is no shift to be cancelled out...

... to take seriously that explicability is something that allows only a progressive or piecemeal approach. In that case, there should be nothing unwelcome to a rationalist in acquiring a tincture of constructivism. Thanks to Christie Thomas, Jeff McDonough, Alyssa Ney, and Michael Della Rocca...
