  1. If Core Knowledge Is Perceptual, How Does it Contribute to Conceptual Development?Marjorie Rhodes, Griffin Pion, Elliot Schwartz & Eric Mandelbaum - forthcoming - Behavioral and Brain Sciences.
    (Commentary on Bai, D., Hafri, A., Izard, V., Firestone, C., & Strickland, B. (2025). “Core Perception”: Re-imagining Precocious Reasoning as Sophisticated Perceiving. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1–75.) -/- A central motivation of the core knowledge framework has been its promise to illuminate the foundations of cognition. Reclassifying core knowledge as perceptual alters what it can plausibly explain about conceptual development. We consider three broad possibilities for how the authors’ proposal could interact with cognitive development, showing that each raises novel questions (...)

  2. What a Loaded Generalization: Generics and Social Cognition.Daniel Wodak, Sarah-Jane Leslie & Marjorie Rhodes - 2015 - Philosophy Compass 10 (9):625-635.
    This paper explores the role of generics in social cognition. First, we explore the nature and effects of the most common form of generics about social kinds. Second, we discuss the nature and effects of a less common but equally important form of generics about social kinds. Finally, we consider the implications of this discussion for how we ought to use language about the social world.

  6. Brain-computer interfaces and personhood: interdisciplinary deliberations on neural technology.Matthew Sample, Marjorie Aunos, Stefanie Blain-Moraes, Christoph Bublitz, Jennifer Chandler, Tiago H. Falk, Orsolya Friedrich, Deanna Groetzinger, Ralf J. Jox & Johannes Koegel - 2019 - Journal of Neural Engineering 16 (6).
    Scientists, engineers, and healthcare professionals are currently developing a variety of new devices under the category of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs). Current and future applications are both medical/assistive (e.g., for communication) and non-medical (e.g., for gaming). This array of possibilities comes with ethical challenges for all stakeholders. As a result, BCIs have been an object of both hope and concern in various media. We argue that these conflicting sentiments can be productively understood in terms of personhood, specifically the impact of BCIs (...)

  7. Barriers to Effective Public Secondary Education in Rural Areas in Haiti.Calixte-Hallworth Marjorie - 2023 - Dissertation, Walden University
    The limited access to public secondary education in rural regions of Haiti has impacted children who want to pursue their education beyond the primary level. This generic qualitative study aimed to explore the perceptions of informed Haitian educators and other educators who were knowledgeable about the lack of access to public secondary education in rural Haiti, specifically through the framework of polarities of democracy theory. Data were gathered by conducting semistructured interviews with 20 educators who were situated in both Haiti (...)

  8. The Polarities of Democracy as a Framework for Leadership and Social Change (7th edition).Marjorie Calixte-Hallworth - 2025 - Asian Journal of Applied Science and Technology (Ajast) 9 (4): 134-140.
    Democratic systems are characterized by enduring tensions among core values such as freedom, justice, equality, and participation. While democratic theory has long acknowledged these tensions, they are often approached through either/or decision-making frameworks that contribute to polarization, institutional instability, and declining public trust (Dahl, 2001; Rawls, 2001). Drawing on polarity theory and the work of William J. Benet, this article examines the Polarities of Democracy framework as a conceptual approach to leadership and social change. The framework conceptualizes democracy as a (...)

  9. Role of Haiti in U.S. Independence and Expansion: A Cross-National Perspective.Marjorie Calixte-Hallworth - 2024 - Asian Journal of Basic Science and Research 6 ( Issue 3):139-144.
    This article examines the crucial, yet frequently neglected, contribution of Haiti to the United States' quest for independence and territorial expansion. It explores Haiti's influence on U.S. foreign policy and economic strategies from a cross-national perspective, focusing on key historical events such as the American Revolution and the Louisiana Purchase. Despite Haiti's significant role, mainstream media and historical narratives have largely downplayed these connections, diminishing its impact on the U.S. trajectory. The article also contextualizes current issues, noting the racism faced (...)

  10. A PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY ON THE LIVED EXPERIENCES AND EXPRESSION OF EXISTENTIAL DILEMMAS AMONG COLLEGE STUDENTS.Marjorie Lopez-Tiu - 2025 - Guild of Educators in Tesol International Research Journal 3 (2):102-117.
    As students begin their university journey, they will encounter numerous new experiences that could significantly impact their growth and development. But beyond this positive aspect lies a session of queries of confusion that would make the students question their true purpose, and position in life. Thus, this study explored the experiences of college students regarding existential crisis, its factors, effects, and its coping strategies. To attain the desired objectives, the research utilized a qualitative research design framed within the context of (...)

  11. Misuse made plain: Evaluating concerns about neuroscience in national security.Kelly Lowenberg, Brenda M. Simon, Amy Burns, Libby Greismann, Jennifer M. Halbleib, Govind Persad, David L. M. Preston, Harker Rhodes & Emily R. Murphy - 2010 - American Journal of Bioethics Neuroscience 1 (2):15-17.
    In this open peer commentary, we categorize the possible “neuroscience in national security” definitions of misuse of science and identify which, if any, are uniquely presented by advances in neuroscience. To define misuse, we first define what we would consider appropriate use: the application of reasonably safe and effective technology, based on valid and reliable scientific research, to serve a legitimate end. This definition presents distinct opportunities for assessing misuse: misuse is the application of invalid or unreliable science, or is (...)

  12. Queer Voices in the Pedagogical Spaces Towards Inclusivity: Overcoming the Binary Linguistic Standards in Education.Nikky Garo, Gerard Louiez Mapalo, Samantha Cancino, Samantha Duco, Tertius Breindel Portabes, Shawn Michael Pajinag & Marjorie Marquez - 2025 - International Review of Social Sciences Research 5 (3):247-269.
    This research critically xamines the operation of the binary linguistic standards in philosophy tertiary education, using queer theory as a deconstructive lens. Employing collaborative autoethnography (CAE), this study explores the lived experiences and narratives of queer philosophy educators and students, underscoring the subjective experience as a vital source of insight. This approach aligns with queer theory (queering), allowing for the deconstruction of macro- and microlevel heteronormativity within the university and classroom contexts, revealing how students' daily encounters expose the fragility and (...)

  13. Marjorie Perloff, radical artifice: Writing poetry in the age of media.Leon Surette - 1993 - Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism 51 (4):642-642.
    Marjorie Perloff is a distinguished commentator on the literature of this century, best known for her work on Futurism, one of the pre-First War international and inter-art avant garde movements. Radical Artifice takes on the avant garde since 1960, observed from the angle of the institutions of popular culture -- in particular television talk shows, and graphic advertisements. The project of the book is to respond to Charles Bernstein's decree: "There is no natural look or sound to a poem. (...)

  14. Measuring Perceived Service Quality and Client Satisfaction of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) Program in Rhode Island.Anne Quinterno - 2017 - Academia.Edu.
    Perceptions of VITA satisfaction are the degree to which clients find various VITA site attributes important in enhancing their income tax preparation experience. The main dimensions of perceived VITA client satisfaction are reliability and accessibility, or service quality. The findings of this study reveal that between the two dimensions (reliability and accessibility); reliability has emerged as the most important predictor of client satisfaction. Therefore, it can be concluded, that the scales chosen are suitable to gain interpretable and reliable data on (...)

  16. ¿Por qué Panecio de Rodas perdió interés por el sabio estoico? Una respuesta desde el tema de los tipos de vida (περì βíων).José Luis Ponce Pérez - 2025 - Noctua 12 (2):380-409.
    Panaetius of Rhodes (2nd century BC) is often considered a heterodox Stoic, exhibiting significant differences from his predecessors, Zeno, Cleanthes and Chrysippus. Notably, scholars of Stoicism have observed that Panaetius appears to have lost interest in the figure of the wise man as a model of moral and epistemic perfection, as conceived by the early Stoics. However, the textual evidence that would confirm this abandonment is inconclusive. The reasons behind this shift are also unclear. Therefore, this work has two (...)

    This chapter uses the distinction between speculative and analytic philosophy as a background against which to present the summaries of the articles on the nature of philosophy by Mary Whiton Calkins, Dorothy Walsh and Marjorie Glicksman. Calkins and Walsh (in her first contribution) examine the relationship between philosophy and metaphysics: Calkins identifies philosophy with speculative metaphysics while Walsh argues that any ethical theory requires some underlying speculative metaphysics. In Walsh’s second contribution, she further argues that philosophical language rightly is (...)

  18. God as a Single Processing Actual Entity.Rem B. Edwards - 2013 - Process Studies 42 (1):77-86.
    This article defends Marjorie Suchocki’s position against two main objections raised by David E. Conner. Conner objects that God as a single actual entity must be temporal because there is succession in God’s experience ofthe world. The reply is that time involves at least two successive occasions separated by perishing, but in God nothing ever perishes. Conner also objects that Suchocki’s personalistic process theism is not experiential but is instead theoretical and not definitive. The reply is that his dismissal (...)

    Based on Maldonado-Torres’s formulation of the term, we conceive the decolonial turn as a form of liberating and decolonising reason beyond the liberal and Enlightened emancipation of rationality, and beyond the more radical Euro-critiques that have failed to consistently challenge the legacies of Eurocentrism and white male heteronormativity (often Eurocentric critiques of Eurocentrism). We complement Maldonado-Torres’s account of the decolonial turn in philosophy, theory and critique by providing an analysis of the trajectories of academic philosophy and clarifying the relevance of (...)

  20. The Certainties of Delusion.Jakob Ohlhorst - 2021 - In Luca Moretti & Nikolaj Jang Lee Linding Pedersen, Non-Evidentialist Epistemology. Leiden: Brill. pp. 211-229.
    Delusions are unhinged hinge certainties. Delusions are defined as strongly anchored beliefs that do not change in the face of adverse evidence. The same goes for Wittgensteinian certainties. My paper refines the so-called framework views of delusion, presenting an argument that epistemically speaking, considering them to be certainties best accounts for delusions’ doxastic profile. Until now there has been little argument in favour of this position and the original proposals made too extreme predictions about the belief systems of delusional patients. (...)

  21. Zurvanist Supersubstantivalism.Daniel Nolan - 2023 - Asian Journal of Philosophy 2 (2):1-19.
    Zurvanism was an ancient variant of Zoroastrianism. According to Zurvanism, the great powers of good and evil, Ahura Mazda and Angra Mainyu, were the sons of a greater god Zurvan, associated with time. According to Eudemus of Rhodes, some Persian thinkers, presumably Zurvanists, took there to be three great principles underlying the world: light, darkness, and greatest of all time (or perhaps, according to Eudemus, space). This paper explores what metaphysics might underlie these doctrines, and what contemporary options we (...)

  22. Apocalyptic Evangelicals and Middle Eastern Conflicts: Religion, Politics, and Geopolitical Risk.Farzad Didehvar - manuscript
    This article investigates the role of evangelical apocalyptic thought in shaping conflicts in the Middle East, with particular attention to U.S. foreign policy and Israeli politics. Beginning with the guiding question—Do some evangelicals and their apocalyptic ideas shape the fighting in the Middle East?—the study traces the historical roots of evangelical influence in American society, their rise as a political force, and their division into passive and radical groups. While the passive majority emphasizes moral living and cultural values, the radical (...)

  24. What Animals Can Do: Agency, Mutuality, and Adaptation.Catherine Read & Agnes Szokolszky - 2024 - Biological Theory 19 (3):198-208.
    The endeavor to naturalize the philosophy of biology brings the problem of agency to the forefront, along with renewed attention to the organism and organicism. In this article, we argue for a mutualist approach to agency that starts to unravel layers of this complex issue by focusing on perception and action at the core of all biological agency. The mutuality of animals and their surroundings is seen as distinct from the typical concepts of organism, preexisting environment, and their interactions. Mutuality (...)

  27. Rationalism.Jakob Ohlhorst - 2024 - In Ema Sullivan-Bissett, The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Delusion. Routledge.
    This chapter introduces the rationalist model of delusions. It begins by presenting John Campbell’s seminal proposal that delusions are caused top-down by pathological Wittgensteinian framework or hinge beliefs. After presenting Campbell’s rationalist account of delusions, the chapter raises and examines prominent objections by Tim Bayne & Elisabeth Pacherie as well as by Tim Thornton. The former make an important distinction between the aetiological top-down cognitive part and the epistemological rationalist framework part of Campbell’s account. The thesis that delusions are caused (...)

    Taylor Swift's songwriting is notable for its direct, clear, and powerful expressions of grief. “Marjorie,” “Bigger than the Whole Sky,” and “epiphany” are especially striking in this regard. In fact, the lyrics of these songs can be connected to contemporary philosophical discussions of grief in ways that not only heighten appreciation of the songs but also deepen our understanding of grief, a notoriously complex emotional state.

    The recent remarkable success of generative AI models to create text and images has already started altering our perspective of intelligence and the “uniqueness” of humanity in this world.

  39. From Poetics to Logic: Exploring Some Neglected Aspects of Aristotle's Organon.Olavo de Carvalho - 2005 - Handbook of the First World Congress and School on Universal Logic 1:57-65.
    I try to read Aristotle's Poetics and Rhetoric as if they were an integral part of the Organon instead of separate works as they were sorted by Andronicus of Rhodes. The results are quite surprising. First, poetics and rhetoric, considered as sciences of speech, were much more intimately related to Aristotle's analytical logic than it is generally acknowledged by prominent interpreters. I maintain that Dialectics (the Topics) operated as a bridge leading from these two sciences to analytical logic; that (...)

  40. Persons and a Metaphysics of the Navel.Dennis M. Weiss - 2018 - Journal of Science Fiction and Philosophy 1:1-15.
    Naturalist views of persons, such as those of the philosophers Annette Baier and Marjorie Grene, emphasize that human persons are cultural animals: We are living, embodied, organic beings, embedded in nature, the product of Darwinian evolution, but dependent on culture. Such naturalist views of persons typically eschew science fiction and look askance at the philosophical fantasies and thought experiments that often populate philosophical treatments of personal identity.

  41. Zeno of Elea’s Arguments Against the One.Ian J. Campbell - 2026 - Archiv für Geschichte der Philosophie 108 (1):1-39.
    According to the orthodox interpretation of Zeno's plurality paradoxes defended by Platonists, these arguments indirectly defend Parmenidean monism by showing that things are not many. But Simplicius, and the various other orthodox interpreters whom he discusses, were aware of and attempted to undermine a competing ‘heterodox’ interpretations, which were prominent in the peripatetic tradition, according to which some of Zeno’s arguments pose a threat to, or even specifically target, Parmenides. I argue that our surviving peripatetic reports according to which Zeno (...)

  43. Towards Even More Irresistible Axiom Weakening.Roberto Confalonieri, Pietro Galliani, Oliver Kutz, Daniele Porello, Guendalina Righetti & Nicolas Toquard - 2020 - In Roberto Confalonieri, Pietro Galliani, Oliver Kutz, Daniele Porello, Guendalina Righetti & Nicolas Toquard, Proceedings of the 33rd International Workshop on Description Logics {(DL} 2020) co-located with the 17th International Conference on Principles of Knowledge Representation and Reasoning {(KR} 2020), Online Event, Rhodes, Greece.
    Axiom weakening is a technique that allows for a fine-grained repair of inconsistent ontologies. Its main advantage is that it repairs on- tologies by making axioms less restrictive rather than by deleting them, employing the use of refinement operators.

We extend the definitions of (...)
