If you are a graduate student or a post-doc interested in epistemology, consider applying for this summer school in Urbino this coming August. Urbino is incredible!
I have uploaded a draft of a paper on Philpapers on which Josh and I have been working for years now. It is about the nature of language as a skill. Comments welcome (though preferably by email). philpapers.org/rec/ARMLAS-2
Last May, I was honored to deliver a keynote at SALT 33 and was humbled by the interest that it generated. I just posted the paper based on the talk. I plan to work more on this so comments and queries are very welcome philpapers.org/rec/CARASA-13
I wrote about free speech, 'cancel culture', and the contradictions of the right-wing attack on universities for the @LRB lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/…
Yesterday we published 10 Routledge philosophy handbooks in pbk at £42.99 a pop, from political epistemology and skill to practical reason and humility. Terrific stuff for the bookshelf @m_j_hannon @Ale1808 @Routledge_Phil @EllenFridland @cpavese19 rb.gy/3ai96
Brown will win a game if he rolls a six. He rolls, it lands six, so he won. It seems like he intentionally won the game—but didn't intentionally roll a six. Why is this? You can find out in a new article forthcoming in Cognition by @cpavese19 and me: osf.io/fp74d (1/3)
Researchers sometimes say that people have two concepts of causation - one based on counterfactuals, the other based on production A beautiful series of papers by @paul_henne argues that this is all wrong. The relevant intuitions can all be explained by counterfactuals
This is a really nice thread about some of my recent work on causal judgment (thanks @xphilosopher). You can read more of this work on my website (paulhenne.com). And there is more of this work on the way! x.com/xphilosopher/s…

How can anybody take these rankings seriously, once one realizes that "Q" in "QS" stands for "Quacquarelli"? ;-) dailynous.com/2023/03/24/202…
There have been three different recent papers on this topic, providing three different theoretical frameworks I'm not sure quite what to believe, but the whole discussion has definitely been super exciting
You buy a normal lottery ticket, and - through sheer luck – you end up winning the lottery. Here, it seems wrong to say: "You won the lottery intentionally" Why? A series of recent experimental papers argue that this effect is actually pointing to something pretty fundamental

I-language(s) vs. C-language(s). An interesting read on language as a skill. @xzistor
I have uploaded a draft of a paper on Philpapers on which Josh and I have been working for years now. It is about the nature of language as a skill. Comments welcome (though preferably by email). philpapers.org/rec/ARMLAS-2
@cpavese19 I would say, revealing my own bias, that many linguists who study language change do not believe that change is actuated or diffuses primarily through acquisition. Lexical innovation provides a very clear counter-example imo, but there are lots of grammatical cases as well
@cpavese19 Also, Chomsky isn't always consistent, of course, and it's no one job to try to make everything he says add up, but I'm really curious if your take can be reconciled with statements like this one he has made. Thanks! Again, loved the paper! x.com/jwgrieve/statu…
@haspelmath @psejenks @spiantado Even Chomsky seems to acknowledge this. Languages must be learnable (no matter the theory you subscribe), but the structures being learned need not be a product of learning (sorry reposting for typo and link) chomsky.info/responsibility…
@cpavese19 Feel free to use ideas from that paper or my Substack - I want them to be useful. And feel free to ask questions - I am open to any interactions.
Thrilled that my paper “Nietzsche and the Significance of Genealogy” has been accepted at Mind!
