Abstract: [T]he writer, finding his bantling ["Pragmatism"] so promoted, feels that it is time to kiss his child good-by and relinquish it to its higher destiny, while to serve the precise purpose of expressing the original definition, he begs to announce the birth of the word "pragmaticism," which is ugly enough to be safe from kidnappers.2While his work in formal logic can be dry and technical, on most subjects Peirce's writing is vivid, wryly humorous, and lit by numerous and often splendid metaphors. Some of these are simply charming, as when he apologizes for "hopping about from one branch of my discourse and back again," like (he continues with a simile) "a robin redbreast or a Charles Lamb."3 Others are wonderfully ...

Abstract: Charles Peirce is recognized by many as among the most brilliant logical minds of the 19th century. Scholars have examined various areas of his logic, from the logic of relations to the discovery of quantifiers, up to the creation of the Existential Graphs, his chef d'oeuvre. But relatively few have paid attention to a neglected theme of his logical investigations, namely, the notion of vagueness. Fewer still have attempted to understand the origins of his notion of vagueness by going back to medieval logic and trying to understand why modern theories of vagueness1—from Bertrand Russell and Gottlob Frege to the present day—seem to have, at a first sight, nothing to do with Peircean vagueness.The main aim of this ...

Abstract: Scholars often compare the classical pragmatists.1 Most agree the classical pragmatists inherit the traditions of Europe, but adapt European ideas to American conditions.2 Many note the legacy of English Puritanism, the influence of Lockean empiricism and Scottish realism, or the impact that German Idealism and Romanticism had on American philosophy via Transcendentalism. In this context, scholars tend to argue that the classical pragmatists sought to naturalize Kant and/or Hegel by adapting their a priori philosophies into a philosophical experimentalism that conforms to modern science and appreciates Darwinian evolution. While also staying sensitive to questions of value, responsible to social concerns, and ... Read More

Abstract: Suppose someone cuts you off on the highway. Instead of launching a string of expletives, you might ask whether the driver is in a hurry for good reason. Maybe they're en route to the hospital to see a dying relative. This would explain their behavior in reasonable terms. Alternatively, it could be that the driver saw the exit, realized that unless something changed fast, they'd miss it, and veered onto the off-ramp with no regard. Both stories could be true given the evidence at hand. The one you choose, however, decides how you're going to feel. In the first case, you may feel empathy for the driver; in the second, you might lay into the horn. The situation forces us to choose how to interpret the data for ... Read More

Abstract: In the collected volume Insurrectionist Ethics, edited by Jacoby Adeshei Carter and Daryl Scriven, contributors engage in discussion over the ethics of revolt. Faced with the systemic persistence of immiseration, and given normative morality's complicity in sustaining such systems of domination, what ethical and practical recourse do the oppressed have to liberate themselves' This is a question which runs throughout the book and motivates the problem of an 'insurrectionist ethics,' as coined by Leonard Harris: a field of ethics which takes up a position, as he writes in the foreword, "that is in, starts from, and sojourns to a different place" (p. xiii). It is a re-imagining of the ethical which departs from ... Read More
