Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Theoria publishes articles on a wide range of philosophical topics, including epistemology, ethics, philosophy of language, logic, and metaphysics. Recent articles explore the nature of moral competence and accountability, the public understanding of critical thinking, and the philosophical implications of Gödel incompleteness. The journal also features discussions on the buck-passing account of value, interpersonal trust, social punishment, and the interpretation of Kant's political philosophy. Further topics include neo-sentimentalist theories of virtue, belief normativism, the safety account of knowledge, and the relationship between credences and beliefs. The scope extends to logical analyses of social phenomena like pluralistic ignorance, the object of knowledge, theories of vagueness, and Wittgenstein's hinge propositions. Additionally, the journal addresses debates in the philosophy of language concerning proper names, belief revision processes, manipulation arguments in compatibilism, and the theory of arbitrary reference. Finally, articles examine the demarcation between science and pseudoscience, radical permissivism in epistemology, and the Turing test in the philosophy of mind.
