Some Philosophical Links

The Philosophers' Carnival is up at The Brooks Blog. This is edition #55.

Kenny has a paper up on the semantics of sense perception in Berkeley.

Richard has a post expressing skepticism about the 'experimental philosophy' movement. I have similar concerns -- the x-phi'ers seem to ignore the importance of rational requirement in much talk about intuitions. My skepticism is aggravated by the fact that I don't see any reason to think that appeal to 'intuition' in philosophical argument is an appeal to one thing in particular, rather than to very different things in different contexts.
