- Meditations on Western Philosophy.Charles Bakker - manuscriptIn this paper I shall explain how I came to realize that for as long as I believed that there exists an epistemic gap, or veil of perception, separating the world into that which is subjective and internal to the mind from that which is objective and external to the mind, I was unable to provide a compelling argument for the existence of this same Epistemic Gap ontology.
- Induction, Induction, Goose!Charles Bakker - manuscriptIn this paper I raise concerns that I have with what I perceive to be as a complete lack of warrant for Hume’s assertion that there are only two types of reasoning – demonstrative and probable. (Hume’s fork) What I leave for others to decide is whether this lack of warrant therefore successfully undercuts Hume’s argument for the Problem of Induction.
- The Ecology of Death.Charles Bakker - manuscriptThis is not an academic paper. It is the hurried thinking out loud of an academic who is admittedly late to the game when it comes to taking our present climate catastrophe seriously. What I suggest is that if we want to study living systems, which we must do if we want to increase our chances of survival as a species, we also need to study what I refer to as death systems.
- Not Without a Doubt.Charles Bakker - manuscriptIn this paper, I share my story about some of my experiences with doubt. Along the way, I also share some philosophical reflections. I know this does not tell you very much, but like I said, I am telling a story, and I do not want to spoil the ending.
- A Brief Memo to Pragmatists Concerning Induction.Charles Bakker - manuscriptThis is an open letter addressed to my fellow Pragmatists concerning the Problem of Induction. Others are of course also welcome to read it.
- Flirting with Natural Philosophy.Charles Bakker - manuscriptThis sentence is almost longer than the romp I go on with science and philosophy in this brief paper.
