TL;DR: The authors examined whether people share the Gettier intuition (viz. that someone who has a true justified belief that p may nonetheless fail to know that p) in 24 sites, located in 23 countries (counting Hong Kong as a distinct country) and across 17 languages.
Abstract: This article examines whether people share the Gettier intuition (viz. that someone who has a true justified belief that p may nonetheless fail to know that p) in 24 sites, located in 23 countries (counting Hong Kong as a distinct country) and across 17 languages. We also consider the possible influence of gender and personality on this intuition with a very large sample size. Finally, we examine whether the Gettier intuition varies across people as a function of their disposition to engage in “reflective” thinking.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors survey the existing literature on the ordinary understanding of pain and add to it, detailing the results of seven new studies on pain using both questionnaire and corpus analysis methods.
Abstract: The standard view of pains among philosophers today is that their existence consists in being experienced The typical line of support offered for this view is that it corresponds with the ordinary or commonsense conception of pain Despite this, a growing body of evidence from experimental philosophers indicates that the ordinary understanding of pain stands in contrast to the standard view among philosophers In this paper, we will survey this literature and add to it, detailing the results of seven new studies on the ordinary understanding of pain using both questionnaire and corpus analysis methods

TL;DR: It is the aim to provide the reader with some food for thought and to give some pointers to the literature that provide an easy access to this field of research, dealing in particular with the implication problem.
Abstract: Current research in Logic is no longer confined to the traditional study of logical consequence or valid inference. As can be witnessed by the range of topics covered in this special issue, the subject matter of logic encompasses several kinds of informational processes ranging from proofs and inferences to dialogues, observations, measurements, communication and computation. What interests us here is its application to quantum physics: how does logic handle informational processes such as observations and measurements of quantum systems? What are the basic logical principles fit to handle and reason about quantum physical processes? These are the central questions in this paper. It is my aim to provide the reader with some food for thought and to give some pointers to the literature that provide an easy access to this field of research. In the next section I give a brief historical sketch of the origin of the quantum logic project. Next I will explain the theory of orthomodular lattices in section 2. Section 3 covers the syntax and semantics of traditional quantum logic. In section 4, I focus on the limits of quantum logic, dealing in particular with the implication problem. This paves the way to section 5 on modal quantum logic. I end with section 6 on dynamic quantum logic, giving the reader a taste of one of the latest new developments in the field.

TL;DR: The contextual approach defended here clears up the notion of explanation and pushes us (at least for now) towards a pluralist vision on mathematical explanation.
Abstract: Purpose
In this article, we aim to present and defend a contextual approach to mathematical explanation.

TL;DR: The philosophy of mathematics has long been concerned with determining the means that are appropriate for justifying claims of mathematical knowledge, and the metaphysical considerations that render them so as discussed by the authors. But, as of late, many philosophers have called attention to the fact that a much broader range of normative judgments arise in ordinary mathematical practice; for example, questions can be interesting, theorems important, proofs explanatory, concepts powerful.
