There are three themed parts to this book: values, ethics and
emotions in the first part, epistemology, perception and
consciousness in the second part and philosophy of mind and
philosophy of language in the third part. Papers in this volume
provide links between emotions and values and explore dependency
between language, meanings and concepts and topics such as the
liar’s paradox, reference and metaphor are examined. This book is
the second of a two-volume set that originates in papers presented
to Professor Kevin Mulligan, covering the subjects that he
contributed to during his career. This volume opens with a paper by
Moya, who proposes that there is an asymmetrical relation between
the possibility of choice and moral responsibility. The first part
of this volume ends with a description of foolishness as
insensitivity to the values of knowledge, by Engel. Marconi’s
article makes three negative claims about relative truth and
Sundholm notes shortcomings of the English language for
epistemology, amongst other papers. This section ends with a
discussion of the term ‘subjective character’ by Nida-Rümelin,
who finds it misleading. The third part of this volume contains
papers exploring topics such as the mind-body problem, whether
theory of mind is based on simulation or theory and Künne shows
that the most common analyses of the so-called 'Liar' paradox are
wanting. At the end of this section, Rizzi introduces syntactic
cartography and illustrates its use in scope-discourse semantics.
This second volume contains twenty nine chapters, written by both
high profile and upcoming researchers from across Europe, North
America and North Africa. The first volume of this set has two main
themes: metaphysics, especially truth-making and the notion of
explanation and the second theme is the history of philosophy with
an emphasis on Austrian philosophy.
