New paper: Incoherence, referential and Fregean
I’m happy to report that my paper Incoherence, referential and Fregean has been accepted for publication in Synthese. You can download a preprint here. Structural irrationality, also known as incoherence, consists in the obtaining or failure to obtain of certain relations among the propositional contents of a subject’s attitudes. For instance, it is structurally irrational to believe in a proposition P and also believe its negation not-P.

Tim Bayne on the global workspace and AI consciousness theconversation.com/an-ai-lab-sa...
An AI lab says chatbots have what may be a key feature of consciousness. Are they right? And what now?
Anthropic says there is something lurking inside Claude that looks a lot like the ‘global workspace’ one influential theory of consciousness depends on.

So, many would now suggest that coordination between concepts is intransitive. But how often and how significant would this be? In this paper, Joost and I respond: not very! Out today open access in Ratio: "On the Limits of Intransitive Coordination" onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...
On the Limits of Intransitive Coordination
A growing number of authors suggest that concept coordination—the kind of relation we pick out when we say that the concepts of one or more individuals represent something as the same—is not a transi....
