[Revised entry by Rosemarie Tong and Nancy Williams on May 4, 2009.
Changes to: Main text, Bibliography]
Feminist Ethics is an attempt to revise, reformulate, or rethink traditional ethics to the extent it depreciates or devalues women's moral experience. Among others, feminist philosopher Alison Jaggar faults traditional ethics for letting women down in five related ways. First, it shows less concern for women's as opposed to men's issues and interests. Second, traditional ethics views as...

The frequent excursions which I have made into this province have all sprung from the profound conviction that the foundations of science as a whole, and of physics in particular, await their next greatest elucidations from the side of biology, and especially, from the analysis of the sensations.

Ancient Theories of Soul
from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(2009-4-23 16:17)
|
[Revised entry by Hendrik Lorenz on April 22, 2009.
Changes to: Main text, Bibliography]
Ancient philosophical theories of soul are in many respects sensitive to ways of speaking and thinking about the soul [psuche] that are not specifically philosophical or theoretical. We therefore begin with what the word 'soul' meant to speakers of Classical Greek, and what it would have been natural to think about and associate with the soul. We then turn to various Presocratic...

The concept of modularity has loomed large in philosophy and psychology since the early 1980s, following the publication of Fodor's ground-breaking book The Modularity of Mind (1983). In the twenty-five years since the term 'module' and its cognates first entered the lexicon of cognitive science, the conceptual and theoretical landscape in this area has changed dramatically.

The Development of Intuitionistic Logic
from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(2009-4-2 9:06)
|
[Revised entry by Mark van Atten on April 1, 2009.
Changes to: Main text]
We will be principally concerned with the historical development of the intuitionists' explanation of the logical connectives. An "explanation" here is an account of what one knows when one understands and correctly uses the logical connectives. The emphasis is on (the history of) Brouwer's explanation of logic within the framework of intuitionistic mathematics, and on (the history of) its codification in Heyting's Proof Interpretation....

Advance Directives and Substitute Decision-Making
from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy
(2009-3-25 10:17)
|
[New Entry by Agnieszka Jaworska on March 24, 2009.]
There is a rough consensus in medical ethics on the requirement of respect for patient autonomy: physicians must ultimately defer to patients' own decisions about the management of their medical care, so long as the patients are deemed to have sufficient mental capacity to make the decisions in question. For...
