| Nadeem J. Z. Hussain | Metaethics and Nihilism in Reginster's The Affirmation of Life Version 1.8 (July 21, 2007). It is not a simple matter to determine either what Nietzsche means by ‘nihilism’ or what he thinks we should do about it. To start with, there seem to be many different nihilisms discussed in different places in Nietzsche’s writings. Furthermore, though he seems at times to accept positions we might be inclined to think of as nihilistic, he also presents himself as showing us, or at least some of us, a path beyond nihilism. ... |

Although this analysis will appear at first to support the “thirdist” conclusion, I will argue in section 2 for a closer examination of the relationship between actions and beliefs. In particular, I will suggest that a Hitchcock-style Dutch Book (and, by... |

| Alistair Isaac | Measuring Information in Nature Dretske (1981) attempts to ground epistemology in an account of the flow of information in nature. Skyrms (forthcoming) argues that Dretske’s account offers the wrong notion of informational content. Dretske argues that a signal carries information about some state of affairs if and only if that state of affairs obtains with probability 1. This strict requirement allows Dretske to ground knowledge in information, but prevents him from taking advantage of the flexibility inherent in a probabilistic account. In... |
