23The rhetoric of “unprincipled” philosophy. A critical notice of articulated experiences: Towards a radical phenomenology of contemporary social movementsThe European Legacy 10 (4): 389-395. 2005.In this critical notice I review the main ideas presented in Peyman Vahabzadeh's thought-provoking investigation into the genesis of new social movements, Articulated Experiences: Towards a Radical Phenomenology of Contemporary Social Movements. I examine two central features of Vahabzadeh's work: (i) its notion of ?ultimate referentiality;? and (ii) the centrality of the role accorded to language in Vahabzadeh's overall theory. I argue that in his stipulation that language is the most fundament…Read more

68Varieties of self-explanationBehavioral and Brain Sciences 32 (2): 155-156. 2009.Carruthers is right to reject the idea of a dedicated piece of cognitive architecture with the exclusive job of reading our own minds. But his mistake is in trying to explain introspection in terms of any one mindreading system. We understand ourselves in many different ways via many systems

85On Fodor's analogy: Why psychology is like philosophy of science after allMind and Language 21 (5): 553-564. 2006.Jerry Fodor has argued that a modular mind must include central systems responsible for updating beliefs, and has defended this position by appealing to shared properties of belief fixation and scientific confirmation. Peter Carruthers and Stephen Pinker have attacked this analogy between science and ordinary inference. I examine their arguments and show that they fail. This does not show that Fodor's more general position is correct

227Are intellectual property rights compatible with Rawlsian principles of justice?Ethics and Information Technology 14 (2): 109-121. 2012.This paper argues that intellectual property rights are incompatible with Rawls’s principles of justice. This conclusion is based upon an analysis of the social stratification that emerges as a result of the patent mechanism which defines a marginalized group and ensure that its members remain alienated from the rights, benefits, and freedoms afforded by the patent product. This stratification is further complicated, so I argue, by the copyright mechanism that restricts and redistributes those r…Read more
