Summary: It has become increasingly common to endorse and implement anonymous grading as a way of promoting fairness or equality of opportunity in the classroom. However, the current models for anonymous grading are self-undermining and have received little attention in applied ethics.

Jacob Berger
Summary: This article discusses the phenomenology of particularity in perceptual experience. While some theorists argue that this phenomenology demands special accounts of perception, the author presents a novel view grounded in the higher-order theory of consciousness, suggesting that the appearance of particularity arises from suitable higher-order states rather than any constitutive relationship between perception and particulars.

Summary: This article explores the consequences of direct realism and William James's philosophy of mind in the context of American naturalism, focusing on the debate between John Dewey and Roy Wood Sellars. It compares Sellars's critical realism and evolutionary naturalism with Dewey's pragmatic realism and emphatically evolutionary naturalism, highlighting the differences in methodology, critique of James's reflex arc concept, and the mind-body problem. The article also discusses Sellars's retention of introspection as a methodologically appropriate approach and Dewey's rejection of it, with examples of their modifications to the reflex arc concept. Finally, the article contrasts Sellars's dual-aspect theory, which maintains a privacy of mind constrained to the brain, with Dewey's view of mind as sociocultural, expanding into the body and world.

Summary: This paper explores the discussions of sociality in phenomenology through a dialogue with analytic philosophy. The author argues that the existing views on "we" do not cover all first-person plural experiences, and proposes a distinction between "we" and being part of "us". Two forms of "us" experiences are outlined.

Summary: According to First-Person Realism, one's own first-person perspective on the world is metaphysically privileged in some way. After clarifying First-Person Realism by reference to parallel debates in the metaphysics of modality and time, eight different arguments in favor of First-Person Realism are surveyed.

Manuele Dozzi
Summary: The aim of this paper is to propose an exploratory theory of fictional objects based on amorphism, aiming to reconcile inconsistent intuitions about these entities. The paper formulates a two-level criterion of identity based on creative acts, utilizes the notion of internal predication, and proposes considering essential properties to fix the identity of ficta across stories. It also addresses the challenge of negative existential statements by equating non-existence with unreality.

Summary: This article explores the interaction between contemporary algorithmic security technology and the political theory of the state of exception. It argues that algorithmic security technology carries exceptions throughout its political and technological architecture. The article concludes that while most machine learning technology reinforces and reproduces the relations of domination, there is still space for it to operate within spaces of political non-identity and support liberatory politics.

Summary: This paper argues for a revised version of the Verifiability Criterion, supported by probabilities and the potential for meaning as context change. It discusses the logical validity of the argument and its implications for potential applications of the criterion. The paper also highlights the relativity of meaning to language and probability, suggesting that different parameter choices may result in different judgments on meaning.

Summary: Noah McKay presents a novel argument claiming that theism provides a more plausible explanation for humans' ability to obtain correct moral beliefs compared to naturalism. However, his central contention regarding the limited plausible explanations in naturalism is incorrect as various Buddhist traditions offer a naturalistic explanation that is equally valid.

Summary: Successful public justification of coercive policy in liberal societies relies on a solution to the aggregation problem. This problem has been largely ignored by theories of liberalism that rely on public justification or public reason. The article examines three approaches to the aggregation problem within the context of abortion policy and argues that none of them offers a promising solution. The author suggests that public reason should be seen as a procedural tool for managing and mitigating political conflicts in a pluralistic democratic society.

Summary: This paper aims to develop a new metaontological view starting from the widely accepted claim that musical works are created. It argues that musical works are both concrete and created objects, but they are also mind-independent. Musical works are similar to natural objects, and our understanding of them can be mistaken.

Summary: Animalism is the belief that we are all animals, but it faces objections. For instance, conjoined twins present a challenge to animalism because it seems that there is only one animal instead of two. However, the Aristotelian perspective on sensation in animals and the explanation of organism-hood from Maureen and Samuel Condic provide responses to this concern, which are also effective in cases like craniopagus parasiticus and cephalopagus.
