Signals
Evolution, Learning, and Information
Brian Skyrms

Brian Skyrms offers a fascinating demonstration of how fundamental signals are to our world. He uses various scientific tools to investigate how meaning and communication develop.

Between Saying and Doing
Towards an Analytic Pragmatism
Robert B. Brandom

Between Saying and Doing aims to reconcile pragmatism with analytic philosophy.

Thomas L. Carson

Persons, Interests, and Justice
Nils Holtug

In our lives, we aim to achieve welfare for ourselves, that is, to live good lives. But we also have another, more impartial perspective, where we aim to balance our concern for our own welfare against a concern for the welfare of others. This is a perspective of justice. Nils Holtug examines these two perspectives and the relations between them.
