Referring Without Individuating the Referent.Ayoob Shahmoradi - forthcoming - Philosophical Quarterly.details A theory of reference attributed to Frege, Russell, and others holds that referring to an object requires the ability to uniquely individuate it. According to a famous story told around campfires on winter nights, a group of young revolutionaries—led by Kripke and Donnellan—was destined to tear down the Frege-Russell edifice of reference. And indeed, they did. Reflecting the spirit of the 60s and 70s, this makes for a compelling tale. However, the truth is that what these young revolutionaries actually did (...)

On Schellenberg’s The Unity of Perception. [REVIEW]Ayoob Shahmoradi - manuscriptdetails My general worry is that Schellenberg’s arguments against naive realism, generalism, and Russellian representationalism do not seem to be successful. Thus her attempt at ruling these views out fails. Her main arguments rely on a shared premise whose plausibility, in the absence of an appropriate theory of particulars, is hard to assess (§2.1). Apart from that, these arguments rely on an under-specified notion of constitution; there seems to be no sense of the term that makes all the premises of her (...)
