🧠Is there a 4th doxastic attitude beyond belief, disbelief, and suspension?

[Journal of the American Philosophical Association @APA_Journal]

There is a large literature on friendship, but next to nothing about enemyship. This article examines enemyship and asks two questions:

1. Is there anything intrinsically good about having an enemy?

2. Would a good person ever have enemies?

🧠 New article:

A Functional Analysis of Self-Deception https://t.co/qZ1I9jNLIj

Intentional self-deception is paradoxical. Accidental self-deception seems implausible. This paper says self-deception occurs when your behavior misleads you, whether or not you meant it to.

[Journal of the American Philosophical Association @APA_Journal]

📢 New article out: Welfare Subjects and Autopoiesis
https://t.co/dYPNxT1V8q

Are only sentient beings welfare subjects? This piece argues that autopoiesis—self-sustaining, adaptive organization—is the real key.
