(2) The assumption that there could be truths which cannot, in principle, be known to be true is false or even absurd. The book scrutinizes theses (1) and (2). It contains discussions of the truth-theoretical approaches of Peirce, Putnam, Dummett, C. Wright, Apel, Habermas and others, offers an account of the speech act of assertion, a critique of deflationism about truth, an analysis of the concept of fallibility and a discussion of Fitch's paradox of knowability.
Im Zentrum epistemischer Wahrheitskonzeptionen stehen die folgenden beiden Thesen: (1) Der Wahrheitsbegriff kann durch epistemische Konzepte idealer Begründbarkeit, Behauptbarkeit, Kohärenz oder Konsensfähigkeit expliziert werden. (2) Die Annahme, es könnte wahre Aussagen geben, die prinzipiell nicht als wahr erkennbar oder doch begründbar sind, ist falsch oder sogar sinnlos. "Wahrheit, Begründbarkeit und Fallibilität" unterzieht diese Thesen einer kritischen Prüfung. Neben der Diskussion wahrheitstheoretischer Ansätze von Peirce, Putnam, Wright, Apel und anderen enthält dieses Buch eine Bestimmung der normativen Relevanz des Wahrheitsbegriffs für Behauptungshandlungen, eine Kritik des Deflationismus, eine Analyse des Konzepts der Fallibilität sowie eine Diskussion des Paradox of Knowability.

While many authors hold that there are findings and theories from those fields that are relevant to normative ethics, it often remains unclear precisely how this relevance relation is to be construed and spelled out. In what follows, I critically discuss various proposals, which have recently been made in this regard by philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists. Philosophical debates in normative ethics, it is often claimed, should be attentive to empirical results obtained in social phychological studies of moral cognition and in neuroscientific investigations of the biological underpinnings of moral judgement formation. In what follows I critically discuss various proposals which have recently been made in this regard by philosophers, psychologists and neuroscientists. Normative ethics, socia...

Originally introduced in psychology, the term is now widely used in the social sciences and humanities, as well as in the biological sciences. In this article we introduce and discuss the central themes of contemporary philosophical debates on gender. Particular attention is paid to recent feminist arguments concerning the distinction between sex and gender, and to how feminist debates today intersect with neuroscience research on sex-related differences between human brains.
In un'accezione ormai diventata standard, il termine "genere" denota insiemi di ruoli e aspettative sociali convenzionalmente associati alla fisiolo-gia sessuale degli esseri umani. Originariamente introdotto in ambito psico-logico, il termine "genere" è oggi ampiamente utilizzato sia nelle scienze sociali e umanistiche sia nelle scienze biologiche. In questo articolo rin-tracciamo e discutiamo le tematiche centrali del dibattito filosofico contem-poraneo sul genere, ponendo particolare attenzione alle discussioni recenti in ambito femminista sulla distinzione tra sesso e genere e alle intersezioni di esse con la ricerca neuroscientifica sulle differenze sessuali.

If moral truth is assertorically constrained, then any modest moral transcendental argument from performative inconsistency can be converted into an ambitious moral transcendental argument. The chapter provides an account of performative inconsistency and suggests an alternative to the widespread reading of transcendental conditionals in terms of an ‘if-then’-sentences whose antecedents express a proposition to the effect that some x is possible and whose consequents express a statement to the effect that some y is actual.
