  • Paranoia: A Study in Diagnosis

    by A. Fried, J. Agassi ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)

    Edited by Nicole A. Vincent, Ibo van de Poel, Jeroen van den Hoven ...
    Series series Philosophy and Religion (R0)

But defending responsibility from determinism is a potentially endless and largely negative enterprise; it can go on for as long as dissenting voices remain, and although such work strengthens the theoretical foundations of these ...

  • Being Realistic about Reasons

    by T. M. Scanlon ...
    T. M. Scanlon offers a qualified defense of normative cognitivism--the view that there are irreducibly normative truths about reasons for action. He responds to three familiar objections: that such truths would have troubling metaphysical implications; that we would have no way of knowing what they are; and that the role of reasons in motivating and explaining action could not be explained if ...
