Generic Generalizations
from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(2016-4-25 13:17)
|
[New Entry by Sarah-Jane Leslie and Adam Lerner on April 24, 2016.]
Generics are statements such as "tigers are striped", "a duck lays eggs", "the dodo is extinct", and "ticks carry Lyme disease". Generics express generalizations, but unlike quantified statements, generics do not carry information about how many members of the kind or category have the property. For example, if asked "how many ravens are black?" one could reply "all [or some, or most, etc.] ravens are black", but one cannot felicitously reply with the...

Hiddenness of God
from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(2016-4-24 8:30)
|
[New Entry by Daniel Howard-Snyder and Adam Green on April 23, 2016.]
"Divine hiddenness", as the phrase suggests, refers, most fundamentally, to the hiddenness of God, i.e., the alleged fact that God is hidden, absent, silent. In religious literature, there is a long history of expressions of annoyance, anxiety, and despair over divine hiddenness, so understood. For example, ancient Hebrew texts lament God's failure to show up in experience or to show proper regard for God's people or some particular person, and two Christian Gospels portray Jesus, in his cry of dereliction on the...

Quantum Mechanics, Interpretations of
from Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(2016-4-20 16:37)
|
Interpretations of Quantum Mechanics Quantum mechanics is a physical theory developed in the 1920s to account for the behavior of matter on the atomic scale. It has subsequently been developed into arguably the most empirically successful theory in the history of physics. However, it is hard to understand quantum mechanics as a description of the … Continue reading Quantum Mechanics, Interpretations of →

Human Dignity
from Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(2016-4-20 16:00)
|
Human Dignity The mercurial concept of human dignity features in ethical, legal, and political discourse as a foundational commitment to human value or human status. The source of that value, or the nature of that status, are contested. The normative implications of the concept are also contested, and there are two partially, or even wholly, … Continue reading Human Dignity →

Essential vs. Accidental Properties
from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(2016-4-19 11:25)
|
[Revised entry by Teresa Robertson and Philip Atkins on April 18, 2016.
Changes to: Main text, Bibliography, notes.html, origin-essentialism.html]
The distinction between essential versus accidental properties has been characterized in various ways, but it is currently most commonly understood in modal terms: an essential property of an object is a property that it must have, while an accidental property of an object is one that it happens to have but that it could lack. Let's call this the basic modal characterization, where a modal characterization of a notion is one that explains the notion in terms of...

Law and Language
from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(2016-4-16 9:59)
|
[Revised entry by Timothy Endicott on April 15, 2016.
Changes to: Main text, Bibliography]
The use of language is crucial to any legal system, not only in the same way that it is crucial to politics in general, but also in two special respects. Lawmakers characteristically use language to make law, and law must provide for the authoritative resolution of disputes over the effects of that use of language. Political philosophers are not generally preoccupied with questions in the philosophy of language. But legal philosophers are political philosophers with a specialization that gives language (and philosophy of language) a...
