This book offers a comprehensive philosophical treatment of microaggressions. Its aims are to provide an intersectional analysis of microaggressions that cuts across multiple groups and dimensions of oppression and marginalization, and to engage a variety of perspectives that have been sidelined within the discipline of philosophy.

This book brings together original essays that showcase how several current debates in epistemology, philosophy of psychology, and philosophy of mind can benefit from more reflection on these and related questions about the significance of consciousness for inference.

This book provides a rigorous analysis of Owen Flanagan¿s comparative philosophy. The contributors discuss his philosophy of human flourishing and naturalized approach to Asian Philosophy. The essays critically analyse Flanagan¿s naturalized eudaimonics, naturalized Buddhism, and theory of Confucian human flourishing and moral modularity.

The aim of this volume is to open up new perspectives and to raise new research questions about a unified approach to truth, modalities, and propositional attitudes. It will be of interest to researchers working in epistemology, logic, philosophy of logic, philosophy of language, philosophy of mathematics, and semantics.

This volume offers responses to philosophical naturalism from the perspectives of four different yet fundamentally interconnected philosophical traditions: Kantian idealism, Hegelian idealism, British idealism, and American pragmatism.

This collection brings together contributions from a diverse group of philosophers who explore a broad but thematically unified set of questions on the role of naturalism in the philosophy of the social sciences.

The aim of this collection is to further our understanding of what a good moral and political education within a democratic context consists in by combining perspectives from moral psychology, political philosophy and philosophy of education.

Domination consists in subjection to the will of others and manifests itself both as a personal relation and a structural phenomenon serving as the context for relations of power. Domination has again become a central political concern through the revival of the republican tradition of political thought (not to be confused with the US political party). However, normative debates about domination have mostly remained limited to the context of domestic politics. Also, the republican debate has not taken into account alternative ways of conceptualizing domination. Critical theorists, liberals, feminists, critical race theorists, and postcolonial writers have discussed domination in different ways, focusing on such problems as imperialism, racism, and the subjection of indigenous peoples. This volume extends debates about domination to the global level and considers how other streams in political theory and nearby disciplines enrich, expand upon, and critique the republican tradition''s contributions to the debate. This volume brings together, for the first time, mostly original pieces on domination and global political justice by some of this generation''s most prominent scholars, including Philip Pettit, James Bohman, Rainer Forst, Amy Allen, John McCormick, Thomas McCarthy, Charles Mills, Duncan Ivison, John Maynor, Terry Macdonald, Stefan Gosepath, and Hauke Brunkhorst.

Although scholarship in philosophy of action has grown in recent years, there has been little work explicitly dealing with the role of time in agency, a role with great significance for the study of action. As the articles in this collection demonstrate, virtually every fundamental issue in the philosophy of action involves considerations of time. The four sections of this volume address the metaphysics of action, diachronic practical rationality, the relation between deliberation and action, and the phenomenology of agency, providing an overview of the central developments in each area with an emphasis on the role of temporality. Including contributions by established, rising, and new voices in the field,　Time and the Philosophy of Action　brings analytic work in philosophy of action together with contributions from continental philosophy and cognitive science to elaborate the central thesis that agency not only develops in time but is shaped by it at every level.

Timothy Smiley has made ground-breaking contributions to modal logic, free logic, multiple-conclusion logic, and plural logic. He has illuminated Aristotle¿s syllogistic, the ideas of logical form and consequence, and the distinction between assertion and rejection, and has worked to debunk the theory of descriptions. This volume brings together new articles by an international roster of leading logicians and philosophers in order to honour Smiley¿s work. Their essays will be of significant interest to those working across the logical spectrum¿in philosophy of language, philosophical and mathematical logic, and philosophy of mathematics.

Immanuel Kant is widely recognized for his groundbreaking contributions to metaphysics, moral philosophy, political philosophy, and aesthetics. His contributions to education theory, while nonetheless groundbreaking, have not received the attention they deserve. This volume gathers together internationally recognized Kant scholars to examine these writings and how his thoughts on education are still relevant for us today.

This volume addresses key questions related to how content in thought is derived from perceptual experience. It includes chapters that focus on single issues on perception and cognition, as well as others that relate these issues to an important social construct that involves both perceptual experience and cognitive activities: aesthetics.

The issues explored in this book concern the act and object of judgment. What kind of act is judgment? How is it related to a range of other mental acts, states, and dispositions? How many objects are there of a given judgment? These and related questions are approached from a variety of historical and contemporary perspectives.

This book presents the central issues provoked by the radical contextualist position according to which there is an insurmountable gap between meaning and saying.
