Oddly enough, Philip was born almost two hundred years after the death of Ruiz and was still alive, though quite ill, in 1586, the date of the painting. So in any one of the twelve years until his actual death in 1598 Philip was in a position to visit this very painting and see himself in heaven. I do not know if he ever saw it

Luther's soul-sleeping and his denial of individual judgment before the General Resurrection are obviously ill suited to handle the manifest content of the parable of Dives and Lazarus at Luke 16:19-34. This point applies a fortiori to those Christian mortalists who endorse Thnetopsychism. No fiddling with commas makes the obvious import of this parable go away

I have in mind a position on which the auxiliary principle is replaced by a principle governing when two non-identical body stages make up the same four-dimensional worm. Then we might say, in the fashion of David Lewis, that the two perimortem duplicates remain distinct but become exactly coincident in the afterlife. This idea is discussed in the section titled "Are We Worms?"

Again, the idea of a necessity holding in virtue of the essences of some entities and not in virtue of the essences of other entities is an idea that Fine has done so much to make clear. Even if the essences of things derive from the essence of God, there are still some (necessary) truths that hold thanks to those derivative essences, such as the truth that I am necessarily self-identical. The specification of the truths that are grounded by those derivative essences will include many necessary truths. The subclass of these that makes no reference to God and his will are mundane necessities in my sense

Why "deeply" disjunctive? Well, the stage theorist can note that a stage is trivially, as it were by stipulation, a temporal counterpart of itself, and he can then say in a non-disjunctive fashion that to exist at a time is to have a temporal counterpart at that time. But this superficially non-disjunctive account is still deeply disjunctive, for there are two very, very different ways of having a temporal counterpart at a time. One is by way of being identical with that counterpart, and the other is not

Why "mysterious?" Well, as everyone admits, we obviously do think and talk about "unnatural things." So just how "strong" is the reference-magnetic force, how do we measure it, and what predictions does the strength of the force make when it comes to just what is required to pry us from the natural defaults that are the alleged reference magnets? Please don't just describe the cases, then describe the desired results, and then say that the force is strong enough to get the desired results

what follows here, and after the text of each of the other lectures, the questions that appear were asked by people who attended or read the lectures. I have noted who pressed the question, when the person was known to me. I hope that I have given the questions their proper force and emphasis; if and where I have failed to do this I apologize to the relevant questioner. Some of the answers are the answers I should have given, or they fill out in more detail the answers I did give. I have omitted the questions that sought clarifications of points when those clarifications were contained in the long text from which the lectures were sampled. It is that text that is here presented in an updated and revised form

In what follows here, and after the text of each of the other lectures, the questions that appear were asked by people who attended or read the lectures. I have noted who pressed the question, when the person was known to me. I hope that I have given the questions their proper force and emphasis; if and where I have failed to do this I apologize to the relevant questioner. Some of the answers are the answers I should have given, or they fill out in more detail the answers I did give. I have omitted the questions that sought clarifications of points when those clarifications were contained in the long text from which the lectures were sampled. It is that text that is here presented in an updated and revised form.

15-Month-Old Infants Detect Violations in Pretend Scenarios
-
As to how early we are aware of persons as such, there is recent evidence that as early as fifteen months infants are surprised by intentional action that does not fit the perceived reality of the situation. See Kristine Onishi, Renee Beillargeon, and Alan Leslie, which vindicates a crucial empirical prediction of the seminal work of Alan Leslie on pretense

Resurrection and Immortality in the Pauline Corpus

An alternative is the "Lewis view" of fission, according to which equal fission is consistent with identity because it simply shows that the number of particles was the same before and after fission, thanks to pre-fission collocation of particles. The upshot of the Lewis view in this case is that there have been two wholly coincident bodies all along, finally distinguished by perimortem fission. One dies, the other never does. Again, on this adaptation of the Lewis view there is no literal resurrection. There is just a preternatural perimortem sleight of hand

Notice something that will turn out to be crucial in what follows. In making these claims I am not asserting claims of diachronic identity, or identity over time, for this arena of presence and action. My own view is that such claims are in themselves radically indeterminate. The issue is instead whether anything that could be given to me now in just the same phenomenological and evidential way as this arena of presence and action could be anything other than this arena of presence and action

See the preface to Kripke, Naming and Necessity. There is a choice about how to implement the idea of the rigidity of the name "Martin Amis" with respect to situations in which Amis does not exist. We can say that the name still denotes Amis in such circumstances-after all, "Amis does not exist" is true of those circumstances-or we can restrict the notion of the rigidity of a designator so that it only requires unvarying designation in all situations in which it designates anything

This remains true on the account below, which recognizes two uses of "I." "I" remains rigid in each of its uses, so any given use either rigidly refers to a person or rigidly refers to a self. When, in describing a dream in which I was Hannibal, I say, "I was not myself last night," the first use of "I" rigidly refers to this self and the second rigidly refers to Johnston

In a lecture appearing on YouTube, a lecture given in 2006, Saul Kripke seems to endorse the view that "I" denotes a self or ego; but he resolutely withholds anything more on what a self is and how it could get to be semantically associated with the use of "I."

Just a note on terminology, which will be helpful in what follows. When I capitalize, as in "Human Being," "Hibernator," and "Teletransporter," I mean to pick out those that have been ac-culturated in the relevant way. So, a Human Being is one who has been acculturated in the ways of the Human Beings, and a Teletransporter is one who has been acculturated in the ways of the Tele-transporters. But of course, a Teletransporter at each time at which he exists is-the "is" of constitution-some human being (or human animal), though not necessarily the same human being (or human animal). I shall also write of the kind human being and the relation of being the very same human being

You could of course follow Peter Geach and define a notion of "relative identity," but it is bootless to do so because the questions we are interested in-questions like "Will I survive?" or "Will any person around after the event be me?"-are questions framed in terms of numerical identity. You would need to argue that numerical identity is incoherent in order to make a notion of relative identity interesting as a successor notion. And that is none too easy a thing to do, for the notion of numerical identity is so simple it is very difficult for its constituent parts to rub together inconsistently

Nor do I insist that being a person does not admit of degree. Once we explain and accept something like Locke's second, oft neglected, clause in his characterization of a person, namely that a person has a "concernment" as he call it, we shall see a way in which some persons can be less than "fully fledged."

Almost all work on the philosophy of color, my own early work included, ignores the crucial distinction between cherry red and being cherry red, i.e., between the quality that is the shade or color and the property that is having that shade as your surface, volume or radiant color.

Epistemidsts typically explain what they regard as the kind of ignorance that goes under the heading of indeterminacy by appeal to the existence of many candidate meanings that differ just a little in meaning. One, and only one, of these gets picked by how we use a word, thanks to hypersensitive rules about how use determines meaning. So, on this view, what we describe as vagueness or indeterminacy is our inability to see or discover just what we mean and where what we mean draws the crucial line. But if we recognize the so-called penumbral truth then we should not think of the difference between the Human Beings and the Teletransporters in that kind of way. (A point made to me by Dean Zimmerman.)
