c++ is an expressive language, but it does not allow software developers to say all the things about their systems that they need to be able to say. In particular, C+ + offers no way to express many important constraints on a system's design, implementation, and presentation. In this paper, we describe CCEL, a metalanguage for C+ + that allows software developers to express constraints on C+ + ...

As far as I know, the first one to give a formal analysis of these concepts was the philosopher David Lewis, in his book Convention [131]. One of his examples is traffic conventions, about the role of common knowledge in how one behaves in road traffic. To explain this properly, I wonder if yo...

Toward clarifying the relationship between love and Christian ethics, this essay briefly engages the highly influential agapist conception of love and questions its sufficiency as the basis of Christian ethics.

Traditional philosophy has been under attack from several quarters in recent years. The traditional philosopher views philosophy as an armchair discipline relying, for the most part, on reason and reflection. Some philosophers doubt the legitimacy of this type of inquiry. Their arguments usually occur along two dimensions. Some argue that the primary data source for the armchair philosopher—int...
