I: The Meaning of the First Person Term
Maximilian de Gaynesford
Philosophy, Philosophy of Language

The central claim of this book is that I is a deictic term, like the other singular personal pronouns You and He/She. This is true of the logical character, inferential role, referential function, expressive use, and communicative role of all and only expressions used to formulate first-personal reference in any language. The first part of the book shows why the standard account of I as a 'pure indexical' ('purism') should be rejected. Purism requires three mutually supportive doctrines which turn out to be myths: a) that a simple rule is sufficient to give the meaning of I ('rule theory'); b) that one can use I to express thoughts without having to identify what is being referred to ('independence'); and c) that as a matter of the meaning of I, any use of the term is logically guaranteed against failure to refer ('the guarantee'). The second part of the book shows why the radically new account of I should be endorsed as a deictic term. Substitution instances and the behaviour of I in inference reveal that it has an obligatorily deictic logical character and inferential role. I fulfils its referential function in the deictic way, providing determinacy of reference by making an individual referentially salient in the extra-sentential context. The discriminability of the referent of an I-use depends on recognizing the referentially salient individual. This is true of its discriminability both to the reference-maker and to the audience. So I has the expressive use and communicative role of a deictic term. The conclusion of the book directs research towards the next step, showing how the meaning of I may be used to elucidate the thoughts expressed by the term, and from there questions relating to self-knowledge, practical reasoning, belief-acquisition, and belief-ascription.Less

Copyright's Paradox

Copyright is at once an engine of free expression and impediment to free expression. Copyright law underwrites much literature, journalism, music, art, and film. Yet copyright often stands in the way of speech that would build upon existing expression to convey new messages and artistic perspectives.In a seminal 1970 article, Melville Nimmer, the leading copyright and First Amendment scholar of his day, aptly termed the copyright‐free speech conflict a "largely ignored paradox." Yet today that conflict has come virulently to the fore, and copyright is increasingly chastised as a tool of private censorship.Why has that happened? What values and practices does the copyright‐free speech conflict put at stake? How should the conflict be resolved?These are the principal questions this book seeks to answer. This book explores the copyright‐free speech conflict as it cuts across traditional and digital media alike. In so doing, it juxtaposes the dramatic expansion of copyright holders' proprietary control against individuals' newly found ability to digitally cut, paste, edit, remix, and distribute popular sound recordings, movies, TV programs, graphics, and texts the world over. It tests whether, in light of these developments and others, copyright still serves as a vital engine of free expression and assesses how copyright does—and does not—burden speech. Taking First Amendment values as its lodestar, the book argues that copyright should be delimited by how it can best promote robust debate and expressive diversity, and it presents a blueprint for how that can be accomplished.Less

This book offers a general theory of expressive behavior, including but not limited to such behavior as it occurs in our own species. At the core of the project is the thesis that self-expression is a matter of showing a cognitive, affective, or qualitative state in such a way that the showing is a product of design. Design may be the result of conscious intention, natural selection, artificial selection, or convention. Showing comes in three forms: showing that something is so, showing something in such a way as to make it perceptible, and showing how an object appears or how an experience or affect feels. This elucidation of self-expression as designed showing of something inner sheds light on such issues as the distinction between saying and showing, the nature of speaker meaning, speech acts, the problem of other minds, implicature, the psychology and evolutionary biology of facial expression, idiosyncratic and conventional aspects of expressive behavior, empathy, qualia, and artistic expression, particularly expression in music. The work blends insights from evolutionary game theory, ethology, experimental psychology, neuroscience, pragmatics, and the philosophies of mind and language.Less

Contemporary speech production theory is introduced as the basis for modelling expression and emotive content in speech. The necessity for a computational approach is argued, together with the need for adequate testing of the models. Adding naturalness to synthetic speech, in the form of expressive content, is outlined as well as ideas about the inseparable relationship between production and perception.Less

This chapter summarizes the contents of the book and attention is drawn to the appendixes in the book, which introduce many documents and correspondence previously unavailable in the public domain. The issue of authenticity is addressed and it is suggested that in the future research in this study may assist a worthy craftsperson to produce a more authentic Bartók Viola Concerto, when the restrictions of copyright will allow the freedom of musical expression. It would require a composer thoroughly steeped in Bartók's compositional style and technique, who would dare to add both vertically and horizontally, to recompose, to revise, and to continue to refine the texture and orchestration until the result was consistently representative of Bartók at the height of his creative powers.Less

The artworld is a complicated place. It contains acts of artistic creation, interpretation, evaluation, preservation, misunderstanding, and condemnation. The goal of this book is to turn a critical reflective eye upon various aspects of the artworld, and to articulate some of the problems, principles, and norms implicit in the actual practices of artistic creation, interpretation, evaluation, and commodification. Aesthetic theory is treated as a descriptive, rather than normative, enterprise: one that relates to artworld realities as a semantic theory relates to the fragments of natural language it seeks to describe. Sustained efforts are made to illuminate emotional expression, correct interpretation, and objectivity in the context of artworld practice; the relevance of jazz to aesthetic theory; the goals of ontology (artworld and otherwise); the relation(s) between art and language; and the relation(s) between artistic/critical practice and aesthetic theory.Less

This book discusses novel advances in informatics and statistics in molecular cancer research. Through eight chapters it discusses specific topics in cancer research, talks about how the topics give rise to development of new informatics and statistics tools, and explains how the tools can be applied. The focus of the book is to provide an understanding of key concepts and tools, rather than focusing on technical issues. A main theme is the extensive use of array technologies in modern cancer research — gene expression and exon arrays, SNP and copy number arrays and methylation arrays — to derive quantitative and qualitative statements about cancer, its progression and aetiology, and to understand how these technologies at one hand allow us learn about cancer tissue as a complex system and at the other hand allow us to pinpoint key genes and events as crucial for the development of the disease. Cancer is characterized by genetic and genomic alterations that influence all levels of the cell's machinery and function.Less

This book examines some recent answers to the questions of how and where to draw the divide between semantics (roughly, features of the literal meaning of linguistic items) and pragmatics (roughly, features emerging from the context within which such items are being used). In particular, the book defends what is commonly known as 'minimal semantics' (aka 'semantic invariantism' or 'insensitive semantics'). Minimal semantics, as the name suggests, offers a pretty minimal account of the inter-relation between semantics and pragmatics. Specifically, it holds that while context can affect literal semantic content in the case of genuine (i.e. lexically or syntactically marked) context-sensitive items (e.g. indexicals, demonstratives, tense markers), this is the extent of pragmatic influence within the semantic realm. Minimalism, then, prohibits what are here called 'free pragmatic effects': putative effects on semantic content which are not required by any lexico‐syntactic item in a sentence. The book opens with an exploration of the current positions in this debate, introducing the main approaches of minimalism, indexicalism, contextualism, relativism, and occasionalism and offers some initial reasons for being concerned about many of the positions opposing minimalism. The main arguments against minimalism are then explored, looking at the argument that minimal contents are explanatorily irrelevant, the argument that at least some sentences fail to express minimal contents, and the argument that the kinds of word meanings which minimalism requires are either impossible or explanatorily inadequate. The ultimate conclusion of the book is that none of these arguments are compelling and that minimalism in fact provides an attractive and plausible account of the literal meanings of natural language sentences.Less

This chapter examines how music fits into the evolution of human cognitive capabilities and how the auditory system, larynx, motor systems, and cephalic expansion underlie musical expression as well as the evolution of social contact. The specific adaptation for decoding facial responses, and the more general aptitudes such as applying numerical capabilities to diverse problems, pervade a biological understanding of cognitive adaptation. Cognitive systems are distributed across neural systems that traverse the brain stem to the forebrain. The chapter first provides an overview of some of the core features of problem solving and human expression before discussing the concepts of time and calculations that are embedded in our cognitive capabilities. It also explores the importance of hearing and vocal expression for music and concludes by suggesting that the roots of music may be in the inherent shared features of our social brain.Less

This treatment of "party" life traces the many different forms of communal expression that underlie black parties. It reveals new dimensions to the way we think about the cultural and political sphere, both nationally and transnationally. This book draws broadly on examples from popular culture, literature, social movements, and daily life to explore an array of themes ranging from black ideologies, the demise of Black power and Third Worldism as emancipatory projects for liberation, to more contemporary issues and debates on multiculturalism and transnational forms of identity. Capturing what is often overlooked due to an emphasis on nations, on surveys, and on formal institutions, it offers an expansive, integrated framework for the study of not only black politics but of political and social theory the world over.Less

This book examines how emotions form a bridge between our experience of art and of life. We often find that a particular poem, painting, or piece of music carries an emotional charge; we may also experience emotions towards, or on behalf of, a particular fictional character. These experiences are philosophically puzzling, for their causes seem quite different from the causes of emotion in the rest of our lives. Using many literary, visual and musical examples, this book shows that what these experiences have in common, and what links them to the expression of emotion in non-artistic cases, is the role played by feeling. It surveys various accounts of the nature of fiction, attacks contemporary cognitivist accounts of expression, and offers an uncompromising defence of a controversial view about musical expression: that music expresses the emotions it causes its listeners to feel. Whilst this book engages with the work of contemporary theorists, it remains accessible to readers without philosophical training.Less

Meaning in Law: A Theory of Speech

Despite widespread admiration for the First Amendment's protection of speech, this iconic feature of American legal thought has never been adequately theorized. Existing theories of speech proceed on the basis of legal doctrine and judicial decisionmaking, social and political philosophy, or legal and intellectual history. But these are not the disciplines one would most naturally turn to in analyzing speech. This book takes a new and different approach. The book develops a general legal theory of speech on the basis of linguistic theory and the philosophy of language. The opening chapters retrace the main conceptual stages in the expression of meaning: from natural meaning, through symbolism, to signification. The book then focuses on three failed attempts to demarcate the outer, definitional boundaries of "speech" in the constitutional sense: prior restraints, obscenity, and defamation. Later chapters analyze symbolic speech (communication by nonlinguistic means) as the key to developing an intention-based theory of speech. The essential elements of the theory are: Nonnatural Meaning; The Signaling of Intent; The Recognition of Intent; and Establishing a Convention. A final chapter applies these insights to the case law of symbolic speech and resolves some basic confusions in the legal literature. This analysis proceeds by way of an original distinction between actual conduct (in the real world) and the "ideal conduct" described in a statute. The former may be described both as communicative and noncommunicative, while the latter has already been conceptualized as either communicative or noncommunicative. This distinction clears up a major legal quandary: how conduct that counts as communication may nevertheless be regulated or prohibited, without running afoul of the First Amendment's protection of speech.Less
Meaning in Law : A Theory of Speech
Despite widespread admiration for the First Amendment's protection of speech, this iconic feature of American legal thought has never been adequately theorized. Existing theories of speech proceed on the basis of legal doctrine and judicial decisionmaking, social and political philosophy, or legal and intellectual history. But these are not the disciplines one would most naturally turn to in analyzing speech. This book takes a new and different approach. The book develops a general legal theory of speech on the basis of linguistic theory and the philosophy of language. The opening chapters retrace the main conceptual stages in the expression of meaning: from natural meaning, through symbolism, to signification. The book then focuses on three failed attempts to demarcate the outer, definitional boundaries of "speech" in the constitutional sense: prior restraints, obscenity, and defamation. Later chapters analyze symbolic speech (communication by nonlinguistic means) as the key to developing an intention-based theory of speech. The essential elements of the theory are: Nonnatural Meaning; The Signaling of Intent; The Recognition of Intent; and Establishing a Convention. A final chapter applies these insights to the case law of symbolic speech and resolves some basic confusions in the legal literature. This analysis proceeds by way of an original distinction between actual conduct (in the real world) and the "ideal conduct" described in a statute. The former may be described both as communicative and noncommunicative, while the latter has already been conceptualized as either communicative or noncommunicative. This distinction clears up a major legal quandary: how conduct that counts as communication may nevertheless be regulated or prohibited, without running afoul of the First Amendment's protection of speech.

Begun by Craig Newmark as an e-mail to some friends about cool events happening around San Francisco, craigslist is now the leading classifieds service on the planet. It is also a throwback to the early Internet. The website has barely seen an upgrade since it launched in 1996. There are no banner ads. The company doesn't profit off your data. This book explores how people use craigslist to buy and sell, find work, and find love—and reveals why craigslist is becoming a lonely outpost in an increasingly corporatized web. The book looks at the site's history and values, showing how it has mostly stayed the same while the web around it has become more commercial and far less open. It examines craigslist's legal history, describing the company's courtroom battles over issues of freedom of expression and data privacy, and explains the importance of locality in the social relationships fostered by the site. More than an online garage sale, job board, or dating site, craigslist holds vital lessons for the rest of the web. It is a website that values user privacy over profits, ease of use over slick design, and an ethos of the early web that might just hold the key to a more open, transparent, and democratic Internet.Less

Frege on Definitions: A Case Study of Semantic Content

This book explores the difficulties presented for Gottlob Frege's semantic theory, as well as its modern descendents, by the treatment of defined expressions. The book begins by focusing on the psychological constraints governing Frege's notion of sense, or meaning, and argues that, given these constraints, even the treatment of simple stipulative definitions led Frege to important difficulties. This book suggests ways out of these difficulties that are both philosophically and logically plausible and Fregean in spirit. This discussion is then connected to a number of more familiar topics, such as indexicality and the discussion of concepts in recent theories of mind and language. The latter part of the book, after introducing a simple semantic model of senses as procedures, considers the problems that definitions present for Frege's idea that the sense of an expression should mirror its grammatical structure. The requirement can be satisfied, the book argues, only if defined expressions—and incomplete expressions as well—are assigned senses of their own, rather than treated contextually. The book then explores one way in which these senses might be reified within the procedural model, drawing on ideas from work in the semantics of computer programming languages. With its combination of technical semantics and history of philosophy, the book tackles some of the hardest questions in the philosophy of language.Less

This chapter examines the neuromolecular and plastic brain. Ideas about plasticity and the openness of brains to environment influences, from initial evidence about nerve development, through the recognition that synaptic plasticity was the very basis of learning and memory, to evidence about the influence of environment on gene expression and the persistence throughout life of the capacity to make new neurons—all this made the neuromolecular brain seem exquisitely open to its milieu, with changes at the molecular level occurring throughout the course of a human life and thus shaping the growth, organization, and regeneration of neurons and neuronal circuits at time scales from the millisecond to the decade. This was an opportunity to explore the myriad ways in which the milieu got "under the skin," implying an openness of these molecular processes of the brain to biography, sociality, and culture, and hence perhaps even to history and politics.Less

The problem of expression has seemed more difficult than it actually is because philosophers have construed it in terms of intentional objects and necessary connections, when really the explanation is causal and there are only contingent collections. The problem has been to show that all that is wanted for a theory can be obtained from within the causal picture. This the book has attempted to do. However, the obstacles that need to be overcome are not solely philosophical ones. When we listen to music, walk around an art gallery, or read about the thoughts and experiences of composers and artists, it is difficult to believe that expression can be explained in a relatively clear way using familiar philosophical concepts. The experience of expression seems almost to require a complicated and mysterious analysis. Regardless of the importance ethical or aesthetic judgements have in our lives, they raise problems which it is proper for philosophy to look at.Less

What's so special about music? We experience it internally, yet at the same time it is highly social. Music engages our cognitive/affective and sensory systems. We use music to communicate with one another—and even with other species—the things that we cannot express through language. Music is both ancient and ever evolving. Without music, our world is missing something essential. This book offers a social and behavioral neuroscientific explanation of why music matters. Its aim is not to provide a grand, unifying theory. Instead, it guides the reader through the relevant scientific evidence that links neuroscience, music, and meaning. It considers how music evolved in humans and birds, how music is experienced in relation to aesthetics and mathematics, the role of memory in musical expression, the role of music in child and social development, and the embodied experience of music through dance. It concludes with reflections on music and well-being. The book is a tour through the current research on the neuroscience of music.Less

This chapter examines the relative status of language and other, similar activities: singing, weeping, groaning, and laughter. The proper manner and degree in which the wise man or woman should indulge in these had been a recurrent theme of classical literature since Homer; again, this had for Augustine been overlaid by the Christian Scriptures, and by some three hundred years of exegesis. It is argued that the paralinguistic activities in the Confessions not only help structure the work, but also represent a careful negotiation of the classical and Christian grammars of the emotions.Less

The Adath Jeshurun Congregation was founded in Minneapolis, Minnesota on August 20, 1884 by Kive Goldblum, Abraham Album, David Cohen, and Simon Gittelson. The congregation was originally known as A'Tas Yeshurun, and had only 15 members at the time of its incorporation. These members, immigrants from Russia, Lithuania, and Rumania, were part of the migration of European Jews to the United States in the 1880's. Although Adath Jeshurun began by closely following orthodox Jewish customs, it soon became the first Conservative congregation west of the Mississippi River. Adath Jeshurun was ahead of its time regarding gender relations. Men and women sat and worshipped together and boys and girls were taught in the same classroom. However, the first Bar Mitzvah, for David Jeffrey, occurred in 1891, and the first Bat Mitzvah, for Sybil Wolk, did not occur until 1943.
In 1903, after 19 years of holding Minyanim in rented rooms and halls, the congregation was able to afford the $5,000 purchase of the 1st Swedish Methodist Episcopal Church, located at 1125 7th Street South in Minneapolis. Unfortunately, a tornado on August 22, 1904 destroyed the building. The congregation then purchased the 1st Christian Church at the intersection of 9th Street and 12th Avenue South in Minneapolis for $8,000.
In 1909, the Articles of Incorporation were amended, changing the name of the congregation to Adath Yeshurun. It was not until 1930 that the name was changed to its present spelling of Adath Jeshurun.
Adath Jeshurun's first Rabbi was Aaron Herman Sinal, who served from 1884-1893. Rabbis changed frequently following Rabbi Sinal's departure, and there was no steady Rabbi until the arrival of Meyer Mirviss, who served as part-time Rabbi beginning in 1907. In 1910, Rabbi Joseph Silver arrived to serve the congregation. He was followed by Rabbi Calman David Matt, who served as Rabbi from 1912-1927.
Rabbi Matt, apart from being an accomplished poet, was a strong leader. During his tenure, he helped form the Sunday School, Bible classes, the Herzl Literary Society, a singing group, and the Deborah Society for girls. It was also during his tenure that a new synagogue building was constructed at 3400 Dupont Avenue South in Minneapolis. The new synagogue was designed to seat over 1,000 people and was the first synagogue to be constructed with a chapel. The congregation moved into the new synagogue on September 11, 1927.
Rabbi Matt was followed by Rabbi Jesse Schwartz, who served as Rabbi from 1927-1929. During his tenure, the Men's Club began. A Women's League had existed for some years, though under varying names (Sisters of Peace, Ladies Auxiliary), not taking the final name of Women's League until 1924. Other programs and clubs included a Junior League, Talmud Torah, Religious School, and a Study Circle.
In 1930, Rabbi Albert Gordon replaced Rabbi Schwartz, and remained with the congregation until 1946, when he accepted the post of Executive Director of the administrative headquarters of Conservative Judaism, offered to him by the United Synagogue of America. Rabbi Gordon, despite often forgoing his pay during the Great Depression, greatly expanded many synagogue programs, including the Men's Club and Women's League. He created a lecture series that drew national speakers, and he himself became a national speaker, with a weekly radio show broadcast on WCCO which was heard in 27 states. He was outspoken on anti-Semitic issues in Minneapolis, and was also a respected labor arbitrator. He held a Doctorate in Sociology from the University of Minnesota. During his tenure, the Adath Jeshurun newsletter, the "Clarion", began publication. Solomon Winter, the congregation's first professional cantor, was also hired during this time period. The congregation expanded greatly during this time, growing from 85 to 403 families by the time of Rabbi Gordon's departure.
Cantor Morris Amsel arrived in 1945 and, under his guidance, Adath Jeshurun became a singing congregation. He became Cantor Emeritus in 1975, when he retired to Florida.
In 1947, Rabbi Morris Gordon took over the congregation. Along with Rabbi Kassel Abelson of Beth El Synagogue, he founded the United Synagogue Youth, which would go on to become a national organization. His Saturday evening Seudah Shlishis Project won a Solomon Schechter Award.
Rabbi Stanley Rabinowitz arrived in 1953. In 1954, a trifold celebration was held in honor of his installation, the dedication of the new religious school annex, and the 70th anniversary of Adath Jeshurun. In 1960, Rabbi Jerome Lipnick took over for Rabbi Rabinowitz. During his tenure, he initiated Scholar-In-Residence programs, a Soviety Jewry program, and he marched for civil rights in Mississippi.
Rabbi Arnold Goodman arrived in 1966, and was more traditional in his views than many of his predecessors. He had a Master's degree in education and a law degree and taught Jewish Studies courses at St. Catherine University in St. Paul. He initiated the Saturday Morning Program (SMP), which provided children in grades 5-9 with the opportunity to learn synagogue skills. This program won a Solomon Schechter award in 1979.
In 1974, a new Kallah Retreat Center was opened at 10500 Hillside Lane in Minnetonka. The Center provided a place for individuals, families, and groups of students to experience Jewish living for a night or a weekend. In 1976, Rabbi Goodman formed the Chevra Kevod Hamet, a traditional Jewish burial society. The group studies Jewish death and burial practices, and trains members to perform the Taharah ritual of cleansing the body for burial. This groundbreaking program was featured in the 1979 television documentary "A Plain Pine Box."
In 1979, Esther Katz was elected the first female president of Adath Jeshurun. Rabbi Goodman was elected president of the Rabbinical Assembly of America in 1982.
Morton Kula replaced Morris Amsel as Cantor in 1975. Cantor Kula was instrumental in starting the TAMID program, a cultural series that showcased Jewish music, drama, dance, and art. TAMID won a Solomon Schechter award in 1979. Cantor Kula retired in 1994, becoming the second Cantor Emeritus, and was replaced with Cantor Scott Buckner.
In 1983, Rabbi Barry Cytron replaced Rabbi Goodman and saw Adath Jeshurun through its centennial in 1984. Rabbi Harold Kravitz came to Adath Jeshurun as Associate Rabbi in 1987 and replaced Rabbi Cytron in 1996.
In 1991, a vote was taken of the congregation to decide whether to renovate the synagogue or build a new synagogue at 10500 Hillside Lane in Minnetonka, the site of the Kallah Retreat Center. 2/3 of congregants voted to build anew in Minnetonka, and in 1995 the new synagogue was opened.
Since 1995, Adath Jeshurun's mission statement has been: "The Mission of the Adath Jeshurun Congregation, a member of the Conservative Movement, is to be a progressive, egalitarian, and sacred community, dedicated to Torah (Learning and Tradition); Avodah (Prayer and Spirituality); & Gemilut Hasadim (Acts of Loving Kindness)."
In 2011, Adath Jeshurun merged with the B'nai Emet Synagogue, welcoming the latter's members to join the congregation at 10500 Hillside Lane. B'nai Emet was established as the "Rumanian Schil," or "Rumanian Hebrew Congregation" in 1889. The synagogue was eventually renamed B'nai Abraham. B'nai Abraham had no official rabbi for many years and relied instead upon the services of lay leaders. Its first home was located on 15th Avenue South between 3rd and 4th streets in Minneapolis.
In 1920, B'nai Abraham purchased a building located at 825 13th Avenue South for $10,000. The congregation remained there for 26 years. In 1942, Rabbi Hardin became Rabbi. He was succeeded by Rabbi Reuben Maier, who was succeeded by Rabbi Mordecai Liebhaber in 1952.
By the mid-1950s, many members of the congregation were no longer living in Minneapolis, but had instead moved closer to St. Louis Park. Accordingly, in 1959, B'nai Abraham built a new sanctuary and center located at Highway 7 and Ottawa Avenue in St. Louis Park. The new sanctuary could seat 80, and opened into an auditorium which could seat 1,000.
Rabbi Moses Sachs led the congregation beginning in 1958. In 1971, B'nai Abraham merged with Congregation Mikro-Tifereth and was renamed B'nai Emet, under the leadership of Rabbi Sylvan Kamens. Rabbi Kamens was followed by Rabbis Harold Yoskowitz, Howard Siegel, Barry Woolf, and Charni Flame Selch. In 2009, Joel and Ethan Coen filmed their movie "A Serious Man" at B'nai Emet.
By 2011, membership of B'nai Emet was 225, down from a peak of over 900 in the 1980's. The decision was made to merge with Adath Jeshurun and to continue under the latter's name, and the Ottawa Avenue synagogue was put up for sale.
