It is commonly held that Bradley’s regress has a solution within a tropeontology. This seems to happen when a bundle is understood as constituted by non-transferable tropes. It also seems to happen when a bundle is understood as constituted by transferable tropes related by a relational trope of compresence whose existence specifically depends on those relata. In this article I demonstrate that these proposals fail in addressing the essential question that underlies the regress, incurring in a question-begging response already anticipated by Bradley.

Kripke formulates four objections to a simple dispositional solution to the Wittgenstenian rule-following puzzle. I present here two partially dispositional proposals, which are different from the simple view discussed by Kripke, and argue that they are not affected by his four objections to it. One of the two proposals may be attributed, although precautiously, to Wittgenstein himself. The other one, which I prefer, invokes a teleological notion of disposition. The two proposals rely on the concept of simplicity, or —alternatively— the concept of natural similarity. Some Kripkean criticisms of the use of such concepts to solve the rule-following problem are rejected.

Asbjørn Steglich‐Petersen
In a recent article in this journal, Esteban Cespedes (2015) seeks to defend the contrastive account of singular causation from my criticisms (Steglich-Petersen 2012). Cespedes objects to my argument on three counts: (1) it is circular in presupposing a principle that it seeks to establish; (2) that same principle is false; and (3) even if the principle were true, it would not speak against the contrastive account. In this note I argue that all three objections are unconvincing.

Exploramos aqui la conexion entre los conceptos de riesgo e igualdad en el argumento del observador imparcial. La concepcion de la justicia que elegiria un observador imparcial se justifica por la pureza del procedimiento de eleccion. Sin embargo, si modelizamos esta decision utilizando medidas del riesgo habituales en matematica financiera, veremos como el criterio de eleccion del observador bajo el velo de la ignorancia contiene una preferencia implicita por el grado de desigualdad resultante. Esto nos obliga a reconsiderar la pureza procedimental de la eleccion.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss a thesis of Epistemic Abstinence that was developed by an important group of political theorists starting in the 1980s. The thesis is of central importance to political liberalism. It is meant to secure a consensus on procedural rules and public principles of justice by insisting that the many interests and fundamental conceptions that coexist in society abstain from making claims about the truth their own moral precepts within the public sphere. I argue that this strategy breaks down because the thesis of Epistemic Abstinence cannot be applied to itself.

Este articulo trata el problema de los objetos creados que pueden ser repetidos, como las obras musicales y las literarias. En la seccion 2 presentamos una serie de desiderata intuitivos que toda teoria debe satisfacer. En las secciones 3 y 4 presentamos un silogismo disyuntivo extendido. Los objetos en cuestion pueden ser o bien universales concretos, particulares concretos, universales abstractos o particulares abstractos. Mostramos como es que las teorias que consideran que son cualquiera de las tres ultimas opciones fracasan. Por lo tanto, debemos entender a dichos objetos como universales concretos. En la seccion 5 ofrecemos una teoria breve pero detallada de la naturaleza metafisica de los universales concretos para despues mostrar como esta propuesta permite dar cuenta de los desiderata intuitivos a la vez que se evitan las objeciones presentadas en contra de teorias alternativas

El debate reciente iniciado por Hubert Dreyfus y John McDowell ha llamado la atencion sobre la relacion entre racionalidad y accion no reflexiva. En este articulo propongo una forma de especificar el desacuerdo entre quienes llamare intelectualistas y antiintelectualistas. A la luz de esta propuesta arguyo que el principal argumento antiintelectualista solo tiene exito si se acepta al menos uno de tres presupuestos implicitos que estan lejos de ser autoevidentes y cuya verdad es puesta en duda por fenomenos familiares. Termino con consideraciones que sugieren que el intelectualista ha quedado en una mejor posicion argumentativa

An argument proposed by Steglich-Petersen (2012) establishes that while contrastive causation can be applied to general causation and causal explanation, it is a mistake to consider it in cases of singular causation. I attempt to show that there is no mistake. Steglich-Petersen’s argument does not seem to be strong enough and is actually circular. Furthermore, I briefly argue that even if we take his argument to be valid, there is still a response from the side of contrastive causation.
