Cloud computing is rapidly gaining traction in business. It offers businesses online services on demand (such as Gmail, iCloud and Salesforce) and allows them to cut costs on hardware and IT support. This is the first paper in business ethics dealing with this new technology. It analyzes the informational duties of hosting companies that own and operate cloud computing datacentres (e.g., Amazon...

Abstract Philosophers of science have recently taken care to highlight different modeling practices where scientific models primarily contribute modal information, in the form for example possibility claims, how‐possibly explanations, or counterfactual conditionals. While examples abound, comparatively little attention is being paid question under what conditions , and virtue what, can perform ...

Since the publication of Anscombe’s famous paper “Modern Moral Philosophy” (1958), virtue ethics has become a matter of discussion among scholars. At least four charges have been raised against virtue ethics, one of which is the charge of promoting undue enthusiasm regarding the moral fitness of human beings. This article explores the limits of virtue ethics with regard to the frailty of human ...

Abstract The epistemic argument against epiphenomenalism aims to prove that even if is true, its adherents are not able justify their inferential beliefs. This would mean they cannot know right which a self-stultifying consequence. I elaborate on this problem and then present an updated version of based property dualism. argue position capable refuting the conclusion in spite accepting essentia...

William Alston has provided a by now well-known objection to the deontological conception of epistemic justification by arguing that since we lack control over our beliefs, we are not responsible for them. It is widely acknowledged that if Alston’s argument is convincing, then it seems that the very idea of doxastic responsibility is in trouble. In this article, I attempt to refute one line of ...

The original questionnaire was translated into Italian and modified in o...

Jonathan Kvanvig’s The Value of Knowledge and the Pursuit of Understanding (2003) is a pioneering work in ‘‘value-driven epistemology.’’ According to this approach, since certain epistemic goods clearly are valuable or matter to us, our accounts of these goods should at least be sensitive to, and ideally should illuminate or explain, their value. It is natural to think that knowledge is one of ...

The paper discusses Bernard Bolzano’s epistemological approach to believing and knowing with regard to the epistemic requirements of an axiomatic model of science. It relates Bolzano’s notions of believing, knowing and evaluation to his notions of infallibility, immediacy and foundational truth. If axiomatic systems require their foundational truths to be infallibly known, this knowledge involv...

We briefly give an overview of Dynamic Epistemic Logic (DEL), mainly in semantic terms. We focus on the simplest of epistemic actions in DEL, called public announcements. We also sketch the effect of more complex epistemic actions, and briefly show how als factual change can be modelled in the same framework. We then apply the logic of public announcements in DEL to the analysis of a knowledge ...
