Ten philosophy papers in no particular order. Only rules: I really enjoyed it & it came out this year. Could easily have picked dozens of others. Whatever is sometimes said about the state of the field, there is a lot of great work being done out there. đŸ§”
#1 Ema Sullivan-Bissett @Ema_SB. Unimpaired abduction to alien abduction: lessons on delusion formation. Fascinating discussion of alien abduction beliefs and what they reveal about the unappreciated power of one-factor accounts of delusions. https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/09515089.2020.1765324 /2
#5 EJ Green. The Perception-Cognition Border: A Case for Architectural Division. When I thought there was nothing new to say on the issue, a compelling new dimension restriction hypothesis for distinguishing perceptual and cognitive processes. Superb. https://read.dukeupress.edu/the-philosophical-review/article-abstract/129/3/323/166790/The-Perception-Cognition-Border-A-Case-for /7
#10 @jorgemlg, Axel Baz and @chazfirestone. Sustained representation of perspectival shape. Beautiful – literally, look at their figures! – mix of philosophy & exp ingenuity, casting new light on a time-old puzzle about perspectival representation. https://www.pnas.org/content/117/26/14873 /END
