An Infallible Method, Fallible Practioners: Descartes' Epistemology
gilbert harman discusses the idea of a reasoned change in view. He shows that reasoned change in view is not identical to deductive logic.
http://www.dons.net.au/~nevre/zach/phil/descartes.html

Extractions: Descartes begins his contemplation of a method by noting that he has, at one time or another, taken as true many propositions he later found to be false (I 117). Later, by considering the possibility that he may be dreaming or being deceived by some demon, he realizes that almost everything he has taken to be true is less than certain (II 13). In light of these considerations, he concludes that it is best to discard all the beliefs he has formerly taken as true. His path to knowledge will begin with a blank page, so as not to be cluttered with any falsehoods (I 117). In this exposition Descartes explicitly states that his goal is to assert only that which is absolutely certain, 'Even if I make but little progress I should at least be sure not to fall,' (I 119). Gilbert Harman begins his discussion of reasoned change of view with the example of a woman considering what to eat for breakfast (1). This practical example belies his practical goals. Harman attempts to give a much more descriptive account of reasoned change in view, as compared to Descartes' prescriptive account. Or, if Harman's account is to be taken as prescriptive, he sets very different goals than Descartes. Descartes specifically states that he is interested only in the indubitable, 'I should hold back my assent from opinions which are not completely certain and indubitable just as carefully as I do from those which are patently false,' (II 12). Harman, on the other hand, does not state his goal directly, but it is clear in his discussion that he wishes to outline principles of reasoned change in view that allow one to accept uncertain propositions as true (4-5, as well as much of chapter 3).

http://nathannobis.com/papers/vagueness.html

Extractions: In Philosophical Writings (UK), No. 14, Summer 2000, pp. 29-39. Abstract: Shafer-Landau argues that occasional indeterminacy in the metaphysics of moralsi.e. that moral predicates are vague and, thus, that some moral judgments are neither true nor false (i.e. indeterminate in truth value)is compatible with 'moral realism,' the view that there are objective moral truths. I argue not that his argument is unsound, but that the view he tries to underminethat indeterminacy and moral realism are in compatibleis a position held by no philosopher informed on the issues surrounding vagueness and moral realism (nor is it one that would be held upon sustained reflection by those informed on these debates). Thus, since there is little antecedent reason to presume that indeterminacy poses a problem for a realistic conception of morality, Shafer-Landau's argument for their compatibility shows us little.

http://www.ul.ie/~philos/vol5/mysticism.html

Extractions: EXPLANATION, EVIDENCE, AND MYSTICAL EXPERIENCE Jeff Johnson Abstract This article argues that the testimony of mystics provides an interesting potential source of evidence for theism. The model of inference to the best explanation is utilized to analyze and assess mystics' testimony. It is argued that the evidential value of the reports from mystics, both within the theistic tradition and from without, ultimately proves weak. I If there is a God, one might well expect him not merely to concern himself with the progress of the human race by bringing about the occurrence of things prayed for, providing opportunity for men to do worthwhile things, or providing a revelation at a particular moment in history, or a society to continue that revelation; but also perhaps to show himself to and speak to at any rate some of the men whom he has made and who are capable of talking about God and worshipping him. . . . The argument from religious experience claims that this has often occurred; many have experienced God (or some supernatural thing connected with God) and hence know and can tell us of his existence (Swinburne 1991, 244).

Extractions: (Amherst, NY: Prometheus, 2002) Philosophers have a way of going on quests to find reasons for what already seems intuitively obvious. Especially if religion is involvedit is hard to see anyone believing in, say, God, just because of convoluted metaphysical arguments. The arguments are there, perhaps, as a defensive measure, just to provide that extra feeling of certainty. Religion, however, is not the only area where philosophy blends into apologetics. Debates over morality have a similar flavor. We might wonder if all the arguments are but a veneer over philosophers' deep-seated convictions about what must be right. Atheism, Morality, and Meaning , although it is a book well worth reading, will not do much to allay such skepticism. Michael Martin is an eminent atheist philosopher, and he gives us a hard-hitting critique of those theistic arguments which claim that all is futile in the realms of morality and meaning if there is no God. It certainly belongs in the bookshelves of anyone who is interested in the debate over whether God is necessary for a moral life. However, although Martin does well in exposing some common mistakes of theistic moral arguments, he is less convincing when he argues for objective morality in a godless world. A frequent accusation that religious believers level against skeptics is that, without God, anything is permitted. Doubt too much, and we summon the demons of moral relativism; we need God to extract us from that abyss. And so Martin is much concerned to establish that, even without God, we can have fully objective moral truths and the way to get a handle on such moral realities is through philosophical reflection rather than revelation and surrender to divine authority. If this were so, philosophical atheists could conclusively answer their religious critics. We would have a full-blooded morality; we could have everything our religions promised and better, as we would avoid the metaphysical baggage of spiritual realms and the mindless surrender to arbitrary commandments.

Extractions: The concept of a speaker meaning something by making an utterance is central to explaining how language is used. (M) expresses this concept: (M) S meant something by uttering U . Paul Grice and others have been concerned with arriving at a correct analysis of it. His original proposal was (G): (G) S intended the utterance of U to produce some effect in an audience by means of the recognition of this intention. Both Grice and his commentators have emphasized what they think is unacceptable about (G). Their argument has been that counter-examples can be given to the claim that (G) is equivalent to (M). Thus a new analysis of (M) is needed, though difficult to establish. In contrast, I will show that we can obtain from (G) an important insight into the use of language. It is that part of what it is for a speaker to intend either to communicate a message or to perform an illocutionary speech act is that he intend that an audience take him to have this intention. I argue that (G) provides a correct analysis of what it is for a speaker to have either of these intentions.
