Cambridge Studies in Philosophy

A systematic account of the nature of fiction explaining why fictions can refer to the world and state facts about it. The book offers tools to address common worries about fictions such as whether they can offer knowledge, by critically engaging with the most insightful contributions from contemporary philosophy.

Resistance to Evidence

Consciousness is an intriguing mystery, of which standard accounts all have well-known difficulties. This book develops a novel account of how consciousness is constituted by our neural structure that avoids these difficulties.

The Neural Structure of Consciousness

"Explores the phenomenon of distrusting evidence coming from reliable sources with current examples including climate change and vaccine scepticism. The book argues that evidence resistance relates to a type of cognitive malfunction and distinguishes it from justified evidence rejection occurring in environments polluted with disinformation"--

This book develops a novel account of assertion in terms of its function of sharing knowledge.

A Functionalist Account of Assertion

Sharing Knowledge

"Reasons matter greatly to us in both ordinary and theoretical contexts, being connected to two fundamental normative concerns: figuring out what we should do and what attitudes to have, and understanding the duties and responsibilities that apply to us. This book introduces and critiques most of the contemporary theories of normative reasons-considerations that speak in favor of an action, belief, or emotion-to explore how they work. Artåurs Logins develops and defends a new theory: the Erotetic view of reasons, according to which normative reasons are appropriate answers to normative why questions (Why should I do this?). This theory draws on evidence of how why questions work in informal logic, language and philosophy of science. The resulting view is able to avoid the problems of previous accounts, while retaining all of their attractive features, and it also suggests exciting directions for future research. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core"--

Between Reasoning and Explanation

Normative Reasons

What are reasons to do something? This study assesses and critiques the current theories of normative reasons and provides a new theory of reasons as answers to normative why-questions, both for specialists and advanced students in epistemology, metaethics and ethics.This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Asay provides a fresh and daring perspective on the age-old question 'What is truth?'.

The Primitivist Theory of Truth

Argues that sceptical metaphysicians employ shadows of familiar objects, while denying that the entities which cast those shadows really exist.

In this text, Joseph Mendola develops a unified moral theory that defends the hedonism of classical utilitarianism.

Language, Cognition, and the Way We Think

Princeton Classics

How propaganda undermines democracy and why we need to pay attentionOur democracy today is fraught with political campaigns, lobbyists, liberal media, and Fox News commentators, all using language to influence the way we think and reason about public issues. Even so, many of us believe that propaganda and manipulation aren't problems for us-not in the way they were for the totalitarian societies of the mid-twentieth century. In How Propaganda Works, Jason Stanley demonstrates that more attention needs to be paid. He examines how propaganda operates subtly, how it undermines democracy-particularly the ideals of democratic deliberation and equality-and how it has damaged democracies of the past. Focusing on the shortcomings of liberal democratic states, Stanley provides a historically grounded introduction to democratic political theory as a window into the misuse of democratic vocabulary for propaganda's selfish purposes. He lays out historical examples, such as the restructuring of the US public school system at the turn of the twentieth century, to explore how the language of democracy is sometimes used to mask an undemocratic reality. Drawing from a range of sources, including feminist theory, critical race theory, epistemology, formal semantics, educational theory, and social and cognitive psychology, he explains how the manipulative and hypocritical declaration of flawed beliefs and ideologies arises from and perpetuates inequalities in society, such as the racial injustices that commonly occur in the United States. How Propaganda Works shows that an understanding of propaganda and its mechanisms is essential for the preservation and protection of liberal democracies everywhere.

How Propaganda Works

Dialects of English [DOE]

This is the first book solely dedicated to the systematic description of the linguistic and discourse features of Malaysian English. The descriptions are based on research done by the author and data from the Corpus of Spoken Malaysian English. The book also discusses current trends in the use of Malaysian English. Because of its scope and research-based content, the book provides valuable insights on the sub-varieties subsumed under the umbrella term 'Malaysian English'. It also examines where Malaysian English is situated within the milieu of regional and global Englishes. A survey of previous work on Malaysian English and an annotated bibliography provides a valuable 'one-stop' resource for students and researchers. The book can be used as a key or supplementary reference for both undergraduate and postgraduate courses on World Englishes or Varieties of English.

Handbooks of Applied Linguistics [HAL]

Linguistic and cultural diversity is raising profound challenges and new opportunities for health practitioners, consumers and researchers in applied linguistics. Increasing mobility and changing demographics are adding to this complexity in all areas of health provision. The Handbook of Intercultural Communication in Health Care provides an authoritative examination of methodological and conceptual directions in the field, highlighting new domains of research that are at the forefront in exploring and addressing issues of communication raised by this complexity. These include issues of ethics, expertise and accountability; trust and risk; inequality and access; agency and self-efficacy, team collaboration; and education and training. This is the first book to establish a bridge between research and practice through the inclusion of complementary contributions from health practitioners. The book thus provides a unique focus on the relevance of intercultural communication research in health care, including the range of modes of involvement of participants, practitioners and researchers, and the subsequent impact of research on lives, practices, professions, organisations and policy.

Handbooks of Germanic Linguistics

The handbook aims to provide an empirically well-founded overview and reference source for selected broad topics in Germanic syntax. The goal is to create a strongly comparative volume which provides empirical depth of select general phenomena in different Germanic languages, as well as informed theoretical comparisons, synthesizing the empirical findings.
