Item Open Access An associationist bias explains different processing demands for toddlers in different traditional false-belief task(Karger, 2020) Fenici, Marco; Garofoli, D.Item Open Access Carving event and episodic memory at their Joints(Cambridge University Press, 2018) Keven, NazımMahr & Csibra (M&C) argue that event and episodic memories share the same scenario construction process. I think this way of carving up the distinction throws the baby out with the bathwater. If there is a substantive difference between event and episodic memory, it is based on a difference in the construction process and how they are organized, respectively.Item Open Access An Enquiry into Sufi Metaphysics(2012) Aranyosi, E. U.The fact that Sufi metaphysics is usually taken to be merely the writings of Islamic philosophers, like Ibn al-'Arabi, seems to underestimate the philosophical indications of literary texts in the Sufi tradition. When Sufi literary texts are examined for philosophical content, that content is sought within and through the traditional Sufist approach. However, there appears to be a lack of correspondence between the traditional approach on the main conceptions (of God, of the universe, etc.) in Sufism and what literary texts can offer regarding those, when some literary texts are to be examined in a way in which an underlying philosophical system can be extracted from them. In this article, Ipresent a brief analysis of The Conference of the Birds by Farid ud-Din Attar, one of the most significant works focusing on God and written in Sufi tradition. I suggest an alternative framework for Sufi metaphysics, which overlaps with the metaphysical connotations of The Conference of the Birds, via some Spinozistic ideas on God and on God's relationship to the rest of the universe. Since The Conference of the Birds represents a metaphysical doctrine that is apart from the traditional approach, I argue that we are not justified in thinking that Sufi metaphysics is only what Islamic philosophers have so far offered us.Item Open Access Let's call a memory a memory, but what kind?(Cambridge University Press, 2019) Keven, NazımHoerl & McCormack argue that animals cannot represent past situations and subsume animals’ memory-like representations within a model of the world. I suggest calling these memory-like representations as what they are without beating around the bush. I refer to them as event memories and explain how they are different from episodic memory and how they can guide action in animal cognition.Item Open Access Locke, Labor and Emancipation(2010) Steinvorth, U.In the first part of the paper, I describe the role labour, under conditions no longer existent, played for the perfection of individuals in Locke's political philosophy. Or to use a more up-to-date term, I describe labour's emancipatory role. In the second part, I examine the conditions for realizing Locke's aim of a society of autonomous individuals with a minimum of state power and market coercion, starting from a society whose members are becoming increasingly economically superabundant.Item Embargo The historiography of philosophy. by Michael Frede(Philosophy Documentation Center, 2023-03-01) Wolt, DanielItem Open Access
