Cambridge Studies in Philosophy

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

This book explores the relation between assertion and knowledge sharing. It shows that assertion and knowledge sharing are intimately connected: what it takes to assert well is explained in terms of assertion's function of knowledge sharing.

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.

Consciousness is an intriguing mystery, of which standard accounts all have well-known difficulties. This book examines the central question about consciousness: that is, the question of how phenomenal features of our experience are related to physical features of our nervous system. Using the way in which we experience color as a central case, it develops a novel account of how consciousness is constituted by our neural structure, and so presents a new physicalist and internalist solution to the hard problem of phenomenal consciousness, with respect specifically to sensory qualia. The necessary background in philosophy and sensory neurophysiology is provided for the reader throughout. The book will appeal to a range of readers interested in the problems of consciousness.

"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"--

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

Asay's book offers a new perspective on the age-old question 'What is truth?', one which promises to shake up contemporary views, and yet is rooted in the very origins of analytic philosophy. For all those interested in the philosophy of language, and metaphysics.

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.

Most contemporary metaphysicians are sceptical about the reality of familiar objects. They prefer an ontology of the spatially tiny or temporally tiny (or both). Crawford L. Elder argues that all such attempts to 'explain away' familiar objects project downwards, onto the tiny entities, structures and features of familiar objects themselves.

Familiar Objects and their Shadows

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

In Goodness and Justice, Joseph Mendola develops a unified moral theory that defends the hedonism of classical utilitarianism, while evading utilitarianism's familiar difficulties by adopting two modifications. His theory incorporates a developed form of consequentialism.

Goldberg explores the nature of linguistic knowledge communication presenting a novel argument for familiar anti-individualistic views.

In acknowledging an ineliminable social dimension to mind, language, and the epistemic categories of knowledge, justification, and rationality, this book develops fundamental links between externalism in the philosophy of mind and language, on the one hand, and externalism in epistemology, on the other.

Locke’s Essay

This book introduces students and researchers to the philosophical issues at play in the growing field of Bayesian epistemology. It focuses not on how to do particular calculations but instead on the philosophical foundations at the convergence of belief and mathematical representation. Its central questions are: What is the nature of quantifying belief? What is the source of its norms? How is it reasonable to represent belief numerically? Accessible to those without any mathematical background, this book will become a much used classic in the field.

Beyond the Modern

In a world of endless predictions and precision algorithms The Power of Maybes offers a daring new way forward. What if uncertainty isn't a problem to solve, but a gift? This book reclaims hesitation, ambiguity, and not-knowing as powerful tools to resist the rigid control of digital systems. The Power of Maybes explores the radical idea that embracing uncertainty is essential in our age of planetary computation. Where machines seek to lock down knowledge, capture potential, dictate futures, and foreclose possibilities, The Power of Maybes argues for the cultivation of doubt, ambiguity, and un-knowing as forms of resistance. By reframing the unknown as a powerful resource, The Power of Maybes presents a bold approach to living and thinking alongside machines without surrendering to their grip. Blending philosophy, design, and critical tech studies, The Power of Maybes challenges dystopian fears and utopian hopes about technology, and champions new ways of being open, ungridded, unscaled. It's a call to cultivate the unknown and nurture potential. For those ready to reclaim their agency in an algorithmic age, this book is a guide to living with oceanic uncertainty -and finding power in it.

In the 21st century, decision-making processes are increasingly being transferred from humans to machines. Algorithms and prediction capture and shape our choices about how we live and interact with others before we can register their mechanisms of reaching outcomes. The time that we would allocate to critical thinking, reflecting and assessing, evaporates. Through an examination of the work that predictive machines do when making decisions and their impact on human capacities, this cutting-edge study looks to ‘uncertainty’ as a central, epistemic tool for reimagining human-machine encounters. It focuses on the space of ‘maybes’, before prediction, as an area for critical inquiry and cultivation.

Through a transdisciplinary approach that brings together design studies and philosophies of processes and technology, Betti Marenko explores how the area of uncertainty can be mapped, diagrammed and designed. By framing uncertainty as a design material, she demonstrates how it can be mobilized to create new modes of knowledge production. 

This book sheds light on how current computational processes can deepen contested classifications, inequalities and hierarchies, and offers alternative anticipatory design methods and stratagems based on uncertainty that can be used to avoid reduction and algorithmic capture. It offers a framework for harnessing the power of ‘maybes’ through design and contributes to contemporary debates around the growing intelligence and autonomy of machines. It is a timely intervention on how to reinvent critique in the algorithmic age by designing new modes of living attuned not to what is, but to what may be.

Rethinking Development

Post-development advocates and decolonial thinkers are calling for radical alternatives to development. The book will be an important guide for students, researchers and practitioners looking for better ways to address the desires and aspirations of marginalised communities in the Global South.

Radical Alternatives or Ambivalent Engagements?

Post-Development from the Global South

"A thrilling exploration of competing cosmological origin stories, comparing new scientific ideas that upend our very notions of space, time, and reality. By most popular accounts, the universe started with a bang some 13.8 billion years ago. But what happened before the Big Bang? Here prominent cosmologist Niayesh Afshordi and science communicator Phil Halper offer a tour of the peculiar possibilities: bouncing and cyclic universes, time loops, creations from nothing, multiverses, black hole births, string theories, and holograms. Along the way, they offer both a call for new physics and a riveting story of scientific debate. Incorporating Afshordi's cutting-edge research and insights from Halper's original interviews with scientists like Stephen Hawking, Roger Penrose, and Alan Guth, Battle of the Big Bang compares these models for the origin of our origins, showing each theory's strengths and weaknesses and explaining new attempts to test these theories. Battle of the Big Bang is a tale of rivalries and intrigue, of clashes of ideas that have raged from Greek antiquity to the present day over whether the universe is eternal or had a beginning, whether it is unique or one of many. But most of all, Afshordi and Halper show that this search is filled with wonder, discovery, and community-all essential for remembering a forgotten cosmic past"--
