Experimental Philosophy of Language: Perspectives, Methods, and Prospects
This book presents the current state of experimental philosophy of language, drawing attention to corpus methods. The volume highlights new trends in experimental philosophy of language, thus exploring the future’s discipline. It includes cross-linguistics studies that reveal the differences and similarities in how speakers of different languages use specific terms, and scrutinizes methodological advances used in experimental philosophy of language. The book also includes politically engaged experimental philosophy of language studies focusing on slurs, pejoratives, and hate speech. The topic’s interdisciplinary nature makes the volume of interest to a broad range of scholars across disciplines including philosophy, linguistics, philology, psychology, and computational linguistics.
The Compact Compendium of Experimental Philosophy
The relatively new movement of Experimental Philosophy applies different systematic experimental methods to further illuminate classical philosophical issues. This book brings together experts from the field to give the reader a compact yet extensive overview, offering a ready at hand introduction to the state of the art.
Scripts and Social Cognition
This book argues that our success in navigating the social world depends heavily on scripts. Scripts play a central role in our ability to understand social interactions shaped by different contextual factors. In philosophy of social cognition, scholars have asked what mechanisms we employ when interacting with other people or when cognizing about other people. Recent approaches acknowledge that social cognition and interaction depend heavily on contextual, cultural, and social factors that contribute to the way individuals make sense of the social interactions they take part in. This book offers the first integrative account of scripts in social cognition and interaction. It argues that we ...
The Ethics of Conceptualization
Philosophy strives to give us a firmer hold on our concepts. But what about their hold on us? Why place ourselves under the sway of a concept and grant it the authority to shape our thought and conduct? Another conceptualization would carry different implications. What makes one way of thinking better than another? The Ethics of Conceptualization develops a framework for concept appraisal. Its guiding idea is that to question the authority of concepts is to ask for reasons of a special kind: reasons for concept use, which tell us which concepts to adopt, adhere to, or abandon, thereby shoring up—or undercutting—the reasons for action and belief that guide our deliberations. Traditionally...
The Political Turn in Analytic Philosophy
A new wave of thinkers from across different disciplines within the analytical tradition in philosophy has recently focused on critical, societal challenges, such as the silencing and questioning of the credibility of oppressed groups, the political polarization that threatens the good functioning of democratic societies across the globe, or the moral and political significance of gender, race, or sexual orientation. Appealing to both well-established and younger international scholars, this volume delves into some of the most relevant problems and discussions within the area, bringing together for the first time different essays within what we deem to be a “political turn in analytic philosophy.” This political turn consists of putting different conceptual and theoretical tools from epistemology, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics at the service of social and political change. The aim is to ensure a better understanding of some of the key features of our social environments in an attempt to achieve a more just and equal society.
Multilingual Digital Humanities
Multilingual Digital Humanities explores the impact of monolingualism—especially Anglocentrism—on digital practices in the humanities and social sciences. The volume explores a wide range of applied contexts, such as digital linguistic injustice, critical digital literacy, digital learning, digital publishing, low-resourced, minoritised or endangered languages in a digital space, and multilingual historical intertextuality. These discussions are situated within wider work on language technologies, language documentation and international (in particular European) language-based infrastructure creation. Drawing on both primary and secondary research, this four-part book features 13 diverse...
Feministische Epistemologien
Feministische Erkenntnis- und Wissenschaftstheorien gehen aus äußerst lebhaften, interdisziplinären Diskussionen in der Philosophie und den Sozialwissenschaften hervor. Sie analysieren, wie Geschlechternormen auf Wissende einwirken, kritisieren die Benachteiligung weiblicher und queerer Menschen durch herrschendes Wissen und schlagen Alternativen zu gängigen epistemischen Begriffen und Praktiken vor. Der Band versammelt klassische Texte sowie aktuelle Weiterentwicklungen u. a. von Patricia Hill Collins, Sandra Harding und Donna Haraway, Miranda Fricker und Gurminder K. Bhambra, größtenteils erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung. Alle verbindet eine Kernthese: Wissen ist eingebettet in historisch spezifische soziale Praktiken und Strukturen, die keineswegs geschlechtsneutral sind.
Cuestiones de la filosofía del lenguaje: pragmática
La filosofía del lenguaje es uno de los campos de reflexión filosófica más fecundos. Hay cuestiones de naturaleza formal y semántica que siguen estando vigentes, pero lo que caracteriza a la filosofía del lenguaje analítica reciente es su giro hacia la pragmática: no solo el lenguaje, sino los hablantes y el contexto de habla deben ser considerados a la hora de determinar e interpretar el significado. ¿Cómo interaccionan semántica y pragmática en el análisis filosófico del significado lingüístico?
Advances in Experimental Philosophy of Lying
Lying is a familiar and morally important phenomenon. No matter if it is in election battles, in personal relationships or in the form of fake news lying affects us almost every day. Showcasing cutting-edge research on the concept of lying, including work on blatant falsehoods, children's concept of lying and deception in the courtroom, this interdisciplinary collection examines what it means to lie and how lying should be defined. Bringing together leading and rising scholars from philosophy, psychology, linguistics and anthropology, chapters present novel empirical findings using a variety of methods including experiments, armchair methods, corpus studies and fMRI. Advancing our understanding of the concept of lying, it also focuses on related concepts such as fake news and bullshit, as well as fundamental questions such as whether lying is morally worse than misleading. It is an essential resource for any student or scholar looking to stay ahead of the latest developments in the philosophy of lying and related fields in philosophy of language, ethics and moral philosophy, philosophy of law, moral psychology, linguistics and cognitive science.
Moral Fictionalism
Moral realists maintain that morality has a distinctive subject matter. Specifically, realists maintain that moral discourse is representational, that moral sentences express moral propositions - propositions that attribute moral properties to things. Noncognitivists, in contrast, maintain that the realist imagery associated with morality is a fiction, a reification of our noncognitive attitudes. The thought that there is a distinctively moral subject matter is regarded as somethingto be debunked by philosophical reflection on the way moral discourse mediates and makes public our noncognitive attitudes. The realist fiction might be understood as a philosophical misconception of a discourse t...
