Abstract: Filip Čukljević ABSTRACT: In this article I shall investigate Alexander Nehamas’s classic interpretation of Friedrich Nietzsche in relation to the idea of self-fashioning. My aim is to dispel certain misconceptions about Nehamas’s Nietzsche and to explore what his vision of life actually involves. First, I shall expose some basic presuppositions about self-fashioning, that have to … PubDate: Sun, 28 May 2023 17:42:33 +000

Abstract: Arnold Cusmariu ABSTRACT: Exemplifying with sculptures the author created, the article shows that ontological algorithms can yield aesthetic content, while epistemological algorithms can capture it. Bridging the gap between art and logic creates new and exciting aesthetic opportunities, allaying Henry Moore’s fears of ‘paralysis by analysis.’ On the flip side, appreciating all that algorithmic art … PubDate: Sun, 28 May 2023 17:39:50 +000

Abstract: Yuval Eytan ABSTRACT: The roots of the ideal of authenticity in modern Western thought are numerous and complex. In this article, I explore their development in relation to Rousseau’s paradoxical conclusion that complete satisfaction is an aspiration that not only cannot be fulfilled but whose actual realization will make a person miserable. I argue that … PubDate: Sun, 28 May 2023 17:35:34 +000

Abstract: Mubarak Hussain ABSTRACT: For a long time, researchers of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and futurists have hypothesized that the developed Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) systems can execute intellectual and behavioral tasks similar to human beings. However, there are two possible concerns regarding the emergence of AGI systems and their moral status, namely: 1) is it possible … PubDate: Sun, 28 May 2023 17:29:12 +000

Abstract: Rajesh Sampath ABSTRACT: This article will offer a close reading of sections 74 and 75 of “Chapter V: Temporality and Historicality” of Division Two of Heidegger’s Being and Time (1927).

Abstract: Howard Sankey ABSTRACT: Truth in a correspondence sense is objective in two ways. It is objective because the relation of correspondence is objective and because the facts to which truths correspond are objective. Truth about artifacts is problematic because artifacts are intentionally designed to perform certain functions, and so are not entirely mind independent. Against … PubDate: Sun, 28 May 2023 17:17:17 +000

Abstract: Robert James M. Boyles ABSTRACT: This paper further cashes out the notion that particular types of intelligent systems are susceptible to the is-ought problem, which espouses the thesis that no evaluative conclusions may be inferred from factual premises alone. Specifically, it focuses on top-down artificial moral agents, providing ancillary support to the view that these … PubDate: Sun, 27 Nov 2022 20:42:46 +000

Abstract: Arnold Cusmariu ABSTRACT: A valid and arguably sound private language argument is built using premises based on Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations augmented by familiar analytic distinctions and concepts of logic. The private language problem and the solution presented here can be plausibly traced to Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. Both literatures missed the connection.

First, the paper provides an elaboration of the concept of objective violence as opposed to (but nonetheless still in relation … PubDate: Sun, 27 Nov 2022 20:36:19 +000

Abstract: Landon Frim ABSTRACT: Should the state teach ethics' There is widespread disagreement on whether (and how) secular states should be in the business of promoting a particular moral viewpoint. This article attempts to schematize, and evaluate, these stances. It does so by posing three, simple questions: (1) Should the state explicitly promote certain ethical values … PubDate: Sun, 27 Nov 2022 20:32:00 +000
