2020 was a weird year, but I am back now. At the end of last year I gave an online talk at our Department’s Theoretical Seminar. It’s here.

Direct Reference – A Conceptual Proposal
În decembrie am participat la First ALEF Workshop in Analytic Philosophy cu o prezentare cu acest titlu. Slide-urile se găsesc aici.
Sfârșit de semestru
Am ținut în acest semestru un curs opțional, dedicat cărții doamnei Anscombe, Intention. Pagina cursului conține, pentru fiecare întâlnire, traducerea paragrafelor discutate (am reușit să parcurg toată cartea) și înregistrările audio ale discuțiilor.
Random notes from 2017
I will just leave them here:
Psychology and responsibility
Some notes written about one year ago. I did revise them, but nothing is publishable.
Empirical actions (and some other things)
This is mainly an (yet unsuccessful) attempt to develop what I understood as a Wittgensteinean suggestion here for how we could justify claims of the form ‘I know that p’, where p describes what is happening in the speaker’s environment, by performing certain empirical actions. Since these are my personal notes, some other thoughts are intermixed. If you have any feedback, please leave a comment bellow.
Reason, Actions, Nature
These are some notes which I wrote down in the last few months. I was thinking of writing a book, so I wrote in order to make the topic of my book a bit more clear. This is the only use of this text – to make it clear for myself what I am supposed to write about in my book. The only result of writing everything found here, which I would acknowledge, is that the title of my book should be ‘Reason, Language and Actions’. Nothing else should be taken seriously, nothing is worth mentioning etc. I did not proofread the text for grammar mistakes. If you want to take a look at it, you’re on your own.
Ostension and Demonstrative Reference
This was the title of my talk at BCAP2015.
Here are the slides: Ostension and Demonstrative Reference – slides
And an audio recording of my talk:
Here is a draft of the text I have used for my presentation: Ostension and Demonstrative Reference
Mixed thoughts on reference
Just a mix of things I wrote down in the last few months while preparing my talk for BCAP2015. Nothing in here should be taken as my official claim.
