UTILITARIANISM, CONSEQUENTIALISM AND MAKING ROOM FOR SUPEREROGATION by NORA GRIGORE
download pdf Abstract. I am discussing three strategies of fitting supererogation within consequentialist frameworks, namely Slote’s (1984) and Scheffler’s (1994). My main claim is that not only the utilitarian or consequentialist framework is modified to accommodate supererogation, but also the concept of supererogation suffers transformations in the process. It is therefore questionable if the theories…

Carnapian Ontology and Why It Works by SILVIU VELICA
Download PDF Abstract. I argue that, in order to have a proper understanding of Carnap’s views on ontology in his ‘Empiricism, Semantics, and Ontology’, one must take into account an assumption explicitly formulated elsewhere regarding what should be taken as ‘real’. Approached in this manner, his views are a lot more powerful than may seem…
