Nicholas Shackel - May 8th- 11 AM ET
"Central questions in philosophy are concerned with rationality and with paradoxes. I like to work in both these areas. I have worked extensively on the nature of the obligation to be rational in action and belief. Moral, cultural, political and religious commitments give rise to a highly diverse variety of apparent obligations about what to do and believe. My work in this area is directed at analyzing how rationality's authority relates to these obligations. My work on paradoxes has taken me into working on their manifestations in formal theories of rationality, in epistemology and in metaphysics."
To see his work on postmodernist methodology (including where he originated the concept of a Motte and Bailey doctrine), go here.
Read his work on the nought belief paradox here.
Look here for his arguments for the idea that speaker knowledge is neither sufficient nor necessary for hearers to gain knowledge from their testimony.
