A priori knowledge: Yes.
To ground epistemic justification of logical systems, or beliefs about the nature of mathematical objects (that is, not simply their presence and implications), is impossible because empirical analysis is constrained against other possible worlds.
Abstract objects: Platonism.
To say that universals are conceptual utilities is to be lazy and uninteresting. Universals are necessary to evade the problem of cosmic coincidence, and a world where common properties between objects is merely an arbitrary evaluation seems implausible.
Aesthetic value: Objective.
There are two senses that aesthetic judgements are objective: (i) that judgements of intrinsic mental states causally explained by external events are necessarily objective, (ii) that absolute aesthetic judgement should not be met with skepticism because it relies on the same internal mechanism that all non-aesthetic judgement relies on: the phenomenological force of appearances.
Analytic-synthetic distinction: No.
Epistemic justification: Internalism.
To establish an externalist theory is to assume internalist justification, in that trusting their judgement assumes the justifying power of what is based on: propositional attitudes. These theories are usually motivated by a confusion between truth and justification.
External world: Non-skeptical realism.
Free will: Libertarianism.
To imply that the propositional contents of our beliefs is determined by the contingent location of atoms is self-defeating.
God: Atheism.
Theological realism requires alien and absurd metaphysical commitments, and the God concept is fundamentally dehumanizing.
Knowledge: Rationalism.
Knowledge claims: Invariantism.
Laws of nature: non-Humean.
Logic: Classical.
Mental content: Internalism.
Meta-ethics: Moral realism.
Metaphilosophy: Non-naturalism?
Mind: Non-physicalism.
Moral judgment: Non-cognitivism. Friege-Greige, introspection—enough said?
Moral motivation: Internalism.
Newcomb’s problem: Two boxes.
Normative ethics: Deontology.
Perceptual experience: Non-disjunctive direct realism.
Personal identity: Further-fact view.
Politics: Libertarianism.
Proper names: Millian.
Science: Scientific anti-realism.
Teletransporter (new matter): Death.
Time: A-theory.
Trolley problem: Don’t switch.
Truth: Correspondence.
Zombies: Conceivable but not metaphysically possible.
Which philosophers do you identify with: G.E. Moore, Aristotle.
