Dembroff (2018) Why Be Nonbinary?

Dembroff, Robin (2018). Why Be Nonbinary? Aeon. As someone who is gender nonbinary, I’ve gathered hundreds of these stories. Some are funny, others vicious. Despite a widespread assumption that everyone fits into neat gender categories, I’ve always been treated as a gender question mark. My social interactions since childhood have been filled with wildly vacillating gender expectations. These da..

2024-2 Feminist Ethics While reading Spelman’s article, I was wondering whether the aim of the paper is to explain society (particularly the household) using the concept of Homo reparans, or to criticize this very notion. According to Spelman, “there is a powerful and fascinating case for regarding Homo sapiens as Homo reparans” in the sense that objects (including ourselves) and relationships a..

A relation between objects, or between names or signs of objects? In my Begriffsshrift I assumed the latter. The reasons which seem to favour this are the following: a = a and a = b are obviously statements of..

2024-2 Frege and Russell Midterm Exam#3)(A) It is widely known that Russell’s paradox of classes had fatal consequences for naive set theory. Suppose {z: z ∉ z}, i.e., the set of all objects that are not members of themselves, exists. We then immediately encounter a contradiction, as follows:Call this set A, and ask “is A a member of itself?” If A ∉ A, then A meets the entrance requirement for A..

2024-2 Frege and Russell Midterm Exam#2) Explain why so many interpreters have held that Frege’s formal work breaches the distinction between term and wff. Find passage(s) in “On Sense and Reference” that suggest that Frege held that a declarative sentence names a truth-value. Explain how one can save Frege from this breach by interpreting his view as introducing characteristic functions for pro..
