Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Originally put forward by Smart and Maxwell in the 1960’s, and later revived by Putnam (1975) and Boyd (1984), the no miracle argument for scientific realism has been much discussed. In this paper, I try to repudiate an anti- realist charge of circularity on the argument, here further scrutinized through a recent formulation due to Stathis Psillos (1999). Moreover, I attempt to turn the tables around on the anti-realists by arguing that they can hardly be said be able to explain the disheartening historical picture suggested by some of their own arguments, especially the ones pertaining to the famous pessimistic induction.

McDowell's Naturalism
- 2006
-
In: Kvantifikator för en Dag. Essays Dedicated to Dag Westerståhl on his Sixtieth Birthday. - 1652-0459. ; , s. 37-52
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This is an essay on McDowell’s naturalism. It is, pace some commentators, argued that McDowell’s naturalism does not end up in any strange metaphysical positions in the philosophy of mind, because second nature non-reductively supervenes on first nature and have causal powers. Pace certain other commentators, it is also argued that McDowell can be read as drawing a clear line between ethical platonism, and his own naturalized platonism, but only at the cost of landing in standard naturalism.

Commentary on Lycan's "Conditional-Assertion Theories of Conditionals"
- 2007
-
In: Philosophical Communications, Web Series. - 1652-0459. ; :43, s. 1-8
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Argues (a) that Lycan underestimates the plausibility of analyses of interrogative and imperative conditionals in terms of conditional communicative intentions and deconstructs "the simple illocutionary theory" in ways that hides its main resources for handling the kind of difficulties that Lycan is raising, and (b) that the simple theory still fails because of its constitutional inability to deal with the multitude of communicative purposes for which declarative conditionals are normally used, something which is inherent in the nesting difficulties raised by Lycan.
