Robert C. Koons

TL;DR: A general theory is formulated to cope with how the status of arguments in a system evolves when the system is updated based on a new concept: the division of an argumentation framework and it is proved that under a certain semantics that satisfies the directionality criterion (complete, preferred, ideal, or grounded semantics), the extensions of the updated framework are equal to the result of a combination of the extension of an unaffected sub-framework.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an argument from Transtemporal Identity for Subject-Body Dualism, a non-cartesian approach to the problem of self-consciousness.

TL;DR: In this article, a computational account of mutual belief and a critique of context-insensitive solutions to the liar paradox are presented. And three context-sensitive solutions are applied to the doxic paradox.

TL;DR: In the staunch version of HM as discussed by the authors, a substantial form is not merely some structural property of a set of elements, but a power conferred on those elements by that structure, a power that is the cause of the generation and persistence of a composite whole through time.

TL;DR: In this article, Koons takes on two powerful dogmas: anti-realism and materialism, and develops an efficient metaphysical system that accounts for such phenomena as information, mental representation, our knowledge of logic, mathematics and science, the structure of spacetime, the identity of physical objects, and the objectivity of values and moral norms.
