But, Father Wheeland, the Bible Lies!

In lieu of an abstract, below is the essay\u27s first paragraph. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: For thou art with me…” We sit and recite these words that we know by heart, which seem to mean absolutely nothing to us right now. I look to my sister on my left; she looks back at me for reassurance. I give her a strong, stern look: We can do this. As the psalm, which does no justice in representing the reason we are here, is ending, my sister and I stand up in anticipation of Father Wheeland inviting us to the pulpit. He introduces us to all the people who already know us very well before stepping aside. My sister, although three years older, is just not strong enough to go first, so I step up

Conscious Intentionality in Perception, Imagination, and Cognition

Participants in the cognitive phenomenology debate have proceeded by (a) proposing a bifurcation of theoretical options into inflationary and non-inflationary theories, and then (b) providing arguments for/against one of these theories. I suggest that this method has failed to illuminate the commonalities and differences among conscious intentional states of different types, in the absence of a theory of the structure of these states. I propose such a theory. In perception, phenomenal-intentional properties combine with somatosensory properties to form P-I property clusters that serve as phenomenal modes of presentations of particulars. In imagination, somatosensory properties are replaced with phenomenal-intentional properties whose intentional objects are somatosensory properties, thus resulting in imaginative facsimiles of perceptual P-I property clusters. Such structures can then be used as phenomenal prototypes that pick out individuals and kinds. Sets of such prototypes constitute a subject’s conception of individuals and kinds. Combined with a few additional elements, these imaginative P-I property clusters serve as the building-blocks of conscious cognitive states. Different ways of carving up theoretical space classify my theory either as inflationary or as non-inflationary. I conclude that the theory is anti-inflationary in letter but inflationary in spirit

“Point of View: Now Is Not the Time to Cut Funding for Public Broadcasting,” POV, BU Today

President Trump’s proposed budget threatens to pull the plug on federal funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the major funder of Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) programming and National Public Radio (NPR) and the supporter of 350 local member public television stations. This proposed cut will do very little to fix the US budget deficit, but it will contribute mightily to the shortage of reliable public information available to citizens at a time when they need it most.http://www.bu.edu/articles/2017/pov-funding-for-public-broadcasting/Published versio

Developing cycle hubs in a destination – a how to guide

This ‘how-to’ guide draws on our experience of planning and delivering a project designed to enhance provision for leisure cycling in rural Northumberland. By sharing the lessons learned during 18 months working in Haltwhistle and Wooler between autumn 2009 and spring 2011, we hope that other market town communities in Northumberland and further afield will be able to stimulate and cater for this increasingly important tourism sector
