Metaphysicians and cosmologists often make bold, surprising claims about the universe. It is bigger, older, full of more things, more intricately interconnected, than most of us ever thought. Supposing they are correct, does that have any bearing on what we ought to believe about everyday matters, and on what we ought to feel, want, and do in everyday contexts? Many philosophers have been ... Read more

A natural thought about our first-person experience is that "all and only the things of which I am aware are present to me." Hare, however, goes one step further and claims, counterintuitively ...

Yet we know we exist in a universe that consists of mindless, meaningless, unfree, nonrational, brute physical particles. How can we resolve the conflict between these two visions?In Freedom and Neurobiology, the ... Read more

Series series Technologies of Lived Abstraction
An investigation of the “occurrent arts” through the concepts of the “semblance” and “lived abstraction.”Events are always passing; to experience an event is to experience the passing.
