273Representationalism vs. anti-representationalism: A debate for the sake of appearancePhilosophical Psychology 16 (1): 5-23. 2003.In recent years the cognitive science community has witnessed the rise of a new, dynamical approach to cognition. This approach entails a framework in which cognition and behavior are taken to result from complex dynamical interactions between brain, body, and environment. The advent of the dynamical approach is grounded in a dissatisfaction with the classical computational view of cognition. A particularly strong claim has been that cognitive systems do not rely on internal representations and …Read more

240Abstract Much has been written about the socio-cultural functions of religion. It is equally important to discuss the role and impact of religion and ethics on development and promoting reform in civil society. In today's South Asian context it is necessary to analyse religion both as a tradition and a representation of modernity. Otherwise it is difficult to clearly understand not only the relationship of domination-subordination, together with processes of exclusions and violence prevalent in …Read more

99Research on social influences often distinguishes between social and quality incentives to ascribe meaning to the value that popularity conveys. This study examines the neural correlates of those incentives through which popularity influences preferences. This research reports an functional magnetic resonance imaging experiment and a behavioral task in which respondents evaluated popular products with three focus perspectives; unspecified focus, focus on social aspects, and focus on quality. The…Read more

70Extrait du chapitre XXVI de la Philosophie du comme siPhilosophia Scientiae 9 (1): 175-194. 2005.Nous proposons une traduction française d’un extrait du chapitre XXVI de l’édition populaire de Die Philosophie des Als Ob de Hans Vaihinger (édition populaire, 1923). L’enjeu de ce texte est de manifester, d’une part, que l’utilisation de fictions est nécessaire au traitement de certains problèmes théoriques et pratiques. D’autre part, il montre qu’utiliser des fictions afin de résoudre certains problèmes théoriques (en l’occurrence, mathématiques) ne conduit pas à l’erreur, pourvu que l’on ado…Read more

66Corporate social and financial performance: An extended stakeholder theory, and empirical test with accounting measures (review)Journal of Business Ethics 79 (3): 299-310. 2008.Although agreement on the positive sign of the relationship between corporate social and financial performance is observed in the literature, the mechanisms that constitute this relationship are not yet well-known. We address this issue by extending management’s stakeholder theory by adding insights from psychology’s prospect decision theory and sociology’s resource dependence theory. Empirically, we analyze an extensive panel dataset, including information on disaggregated measures of social pe…Read more

62Full algebra of generalized functions and non-standard asymptotic analysisLogic and Analysis 1 (3-4): 205-234. 2008.We construct an algebra of generalized functions endowed with a canonical embedding of the space of Schwartz distributions.We offer a solution to the problem of multiplication of Schwartz distributions similar to but different from Colombeau’s solution.We show that the set of scalars of our algebra is an algebraically closed field unlike its counterpart in Colombeau theory, which is a ring with zero divisors. We prove a Hahn–Banach extension principle which does not hold in Colombeau theory. We …Read more

61The Philosophy of ‘as If’Routledge. 1924.Hans Vaihinger was an important and fascinating figure in German philosophy in the early twentieth century, founding the well-known journal Kant-studien. Yet he was overshadowed by the burgeoning movements of phenomenology and analytical philosophy, as well as hostility towards his work because of his defense of Jewish scholars in a Germany controlled by Nazism. However, it is widely acknowledged today that The Philosophy of 'As If' is a philosophical masterwork. Vaihinger argues that in the fac…Read more

57Controversies and existence claims in chemistry: The theory of resonanceSynthese 69 (3): 273-290. 1986.Controversies, i.e., multiple theory confrontations, may have a strong impact on the development of science. By an analysis of the so-called resonance controversy in chemistry the view that controversies and their resolution differ considerably from the process of theory succession is defended. It is argued that controversies are symptomatic of foundational problems, produce theory-scattering or domain-splitting, and induce ontological shifts. An explication is given of the role of existence cla…Read more

52New Perspectives on J. G. FichteIdealistic Studies 6 (2): 118-159. 1976.To this day, an adequate interpretation in English of Fichte’s entire philosophy is lacking. Even Frederick Copleston, whose sixty-two pages on Fichte in his History of Philosophy I should recommend as the best general introduction so far available, capitulates at the end before the task of seeing a unity in the thought of this philosopher.

48Meeting Heterogeneity in Consumer Demand for Animal Welfare: A Reflection on Existing Knowledge and Implications for the Meat Sector (review)Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 26 (3): 629-661. 2013.The legitimacy of the dominant intensive meat production system with respect to the issue of animal welfare is increasingly being questioned by stakeholders across the meat supply chain. The current meat supply is highly undifferentiated, catering only for the extremes of morality concerns (i.e., conventional vs. organic meat products). However, a latent need for compromise products has been identified. That is, consumer differences exist regarding the trade-offs they make between different aspe…Read more

34Charitable InterpretationsPolitical Theory 32 (1): 61-84. 2004.John Rawls offers an account of public reason that argues that comprehensive doctrines are admissible into public deliberations of fundamental political matters only when they are used to say things that can also be said on the basis of the noncomprehensive liberal political values of freedom and equality. This essay argues that elements of comprehensive doctrines ought to be allowed into public reason even when those elements cannot be translated into the terms of liberal political values. It d…Read more

31Une controverse française sur la vision kantienne de la guerre: Avec un mot touchant la conférence sur la paixPhilosophie 120 (1): 12-21. 2014.En France, un différend très intéressant touchant l’opinion de Kant sur la guerre vient d’être résolu. En voici le compte-rendu d’après les sources dont nous disposons. Le célèbre journal politique « Le temps » publiait dans le numéro du 17 mars 1899 un rapport sur « Une conférence de M. Brunetière » : celui-ci avait donné le 16 mars une conférence à l’hippodrome de Lille, devant environ 3 000 personnes....
