Elusive Externalism
BJ Salow
Aug 18, 2017
Epistemologists have recently noted a tension between (i) denying access internalism, and (ii) maintaining that rational agents cannot be epistemically akratic, believing claims akin to ‘p, but I shouldn’t believe p’. I bring...
Taking a chance on KK
Dorr et al. (Philos Stud 170:277–287, 2014) present a case that poses a challenge for a number of plausible principles about knowledge and objective chance. Implicit in their discussion is an interesting new argument against KK...
The Externalist’s Guide to Fishing for Compliments
Bernhard Salow
Apr 25, 2017
Suppose you’d like to believe that $\textit{p}$ (for example, that you are popular), whether or not it’s true. What can you do to help? A natural initial thought is that you could engage in $\textit{Intentionally Biased...
Don't Look Now
Good’s Theorem is the apparent platitude that it is always rational to ‘look before you leap’: to gather (reliable) information before making a decision when doing so is free. We argue that Good’s Theorem is not platitudinous...
Transparency and the KK Principle
An important question in epistemology is whether the KK principle is true, i.e., whether an agent who knows that $\textit{p}$ is also thereby in a position to know that she knows that$\textit{p}$. We explain how a “transparency”...

management. Two studies were conducted to evaluate the measurement of conscious
and intuitive emotional anxiety toward one’s personal finances....
Cognition as a treatment target in depression
Cognitive dysfunction in depression is associated with poorer clinical outcomes and impaired psychosocial functioning. However, most treatments for depression do not specifically target cognition. Neurocognitive deficits such as...
Neural crest and placode interaction during the development of the cranial sensory system
In the vertebrate head, the peripheral components of the sensory nervous system are derived from two embryonic cell populations, the neural crest and cranial sensory placodes. Both arise in close proximity to each other at the...
The CB1 receptor antagonist AM251 impairs reconsolidation of pavlovian fear memory in the rat basolateral amygdala
Amidohydrolases Animals Auditory Perception Basolateral Nuclear Complex Benzamides Bicuculline Cannabinoid Receptor Antagonists Carbamates Conditioning Classical electroshock Enzyme Inhibitors Fear GABA-A Receptor Antagonists Male Memory Piperidines Pyrazoles Rats Receptor Cannabinoid CB1 Receptors GABA-A
Cooperative interactions within the family enhance the capacity for evolutionary change in body size
Classical models of evolution seldom predict the rate at which populations evolve in the wild. One explanation is that the social environment affects how traits change in response to natural selection. Here, we determine how...
