Consequentialism and Robust Goods

Utilitas, 1–9, doi:10.1017/S0953820819000116 Abstract In this article, I critique the moral theory developed in Philip Pettit’s The Robust Demands of the Good: Ethics with Attachment, Virtue, and Respecvirtue and respect. I argue that Robust-Goods Consequentialism fails because it implies very implausible value judgements.

Mistake is to Myth What Pretense is to Fiction: A Reply to Goodman.

Philosophia 45(3): 1275–1282. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11406-017-9812-5. Abstract In this reply I defend Kripke’s creationist thesis for mythical objects (Reference and Existence, 2013) against Jeffrey Go). I argue that Goodman has mistaken the basis for when mythical abstracta are created. Contrary to Goodman I show that, as well as how, Kripke’s theory consistently retains the analogy between creation of mythical objects and creation of fictional objects, while also explaining in what way they differ.

Gustav Nilsonne: Pathways to an open science system: Replacing academic journals

Venue: Institutet för framtidsstudier, Holländargatan 13, 4th floor, Stockholm, and onlineREGISTERResearch seminar with Gustav Nilsonne, Associate Professor of neuroscience. He is active in meta-sciencOpen science enables cumulative knowledge and facilitates discovery. The transition to an open science system is underway, but important roadblocks remain. A decentralised, evolvable network of platforms interconnected by open standards, and governed by the scientific community, is technically feasible. However, academic researchers remain tied to traditional journals not least because assessment of merit is tied to the venue of publication. Ways forward can include redirection of funding from legacy publishing models to new infrastructure and the development of new methods to assess scientific contributions. Concerted action by stakeholders needs to be combined with pluralistic experimentation on policies and interventions to further open science practices.
