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-Rumelin, 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 Kunne 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."
