On the basis of impossibility results on probability, belief revision, and conditionals, it is argued that conditional beliefs
differ from beliefs in conditionals qua mental states. Once this is established, it will be pointed out in what sense conditional beliefs are still conditional,
even though they may lack conditional contents, and why it is permissible to still regard them as beliefs, although they are
not beliefs in conditionals. Along the way, the main logical, dispositional, representational, and normative properties of
conditional beliefs are studied, and it is explained how the failure of not distinguishing conditional beliefs from beliefs
in conditionals can lead philosophical and empirical theories astray.

In my remarks, I discuss Sosa's attempt to deal with the sceptical threat posed by dreaming. Sosa explores two replies to
the problem of dreaming scepticism. First, he argues that, on the imagination model of dreaming, dreaming does not threaten
the safety of our beliefs. Second, he argues that knowledge does not require safety, but a weaker condition which is not threatened
by dreaming skepticism. I raise questions about both elements of his reply.

An inverse akratic act is one who believes X, all things considered, is the correct act, and yet performs ~X, where ~X is
the correct act. A famous example of such a person is Huck Finn. He believes that he is wrong in helping Jim, and yet continues
to do so. In this paper I investigate Huck’s nature to see why he performs such acts contrary to his beliefs. In doing so,
I explore the nature of empathy and show how powerful Huck’s empathic feelings are. Drawing from Martin L. Hoffman, I show
the relationship between empathy and a principle of justice. This relationship leads to Huck acting virtuously, as Rosalind
Hursthouse maintains.

I have argued that to say qualia are epiphenomenal is to say a world without qualia would be physically identical to a world
with qualia. Dan Cavedon-Taylor has offered an alternative interpretation of the commitments of qualia epiphenomenalism according
to which qualia cause beliefs and those beliefs can and do cause changes to the physical world. I argue that neither of these
options works for the qualia epiphenomenalist and thus that theory faces far more serious difficulties than has previously
been recognized.

It is argued that when spiritual care by physicians is linked to the empirical research indicating the salutary effect on
health of religious beliefs and practices an unintended degradation of religion is involved. It is contended that it is much
more desirable to see support for the patient’s spirituality as part of holistic care. A proposal for appropriate spiritual
care by physicians is offered.

I argue that thinking of existence questions as deep questions to be resolved by a distinctively philosophical discipline
of ontology is misguided. I begin by examining how to understand the truth-conditions of existence claims, by way of understanding
the rules of use for ‘exists’ and for general noun terms. This yields a straightforward method for resolving existence questions
by a combination of conceptual analysis and empirical enquiry. It also provides a blueprint for arguing against most common
proposals for uniform substantive ‘criteria of existence’, whether they involve mind-independence, possession of causal powers,
observability, etc., and thus for showing that many arguments for denying entities (numbers, ordinary objects, fictional characters,
propositions…) on grounds of their failure to meet one or more of these proposed existence criteria are mistaken.

In this paper, I argue, contra Perry, that the existence of locating beliefs does not require the abandonment of the analysis
of belief as a relation between subjects and propositions. I argue that what the “problem of the essential indexical” reveals
is that a complete explanation of behaviour requires both an explanation of the type of behaviour the agent engaged in and
an explanation of why she engaged in it in the circumstances that she did. And I develop an account of belief which encompasses
both explanatory roles and which still treats belief as a two-place relation between subjects and propositions.

The following three propositions appear to be individually defensible but jointly inconsistent: (1) reliability is a necessary
condition on epistemic justification; (2) on contested matters in philosophy, my beliefs are not reliably formed; (3) some
of these beliefs are epistemically justified. I explore the nature and scope of the problem, examine and reject some candidate
solutions, compare the issue with ones arising in discussions about disagreement, and offer a brief assessment of our predicament.

In this introduction we discuss the motivation behind the workshop “Towards a New Epistemology of Mathematics” of which this
special issue constitutes the proceedings. We elaborate on historical and empirical aspects of the desired new epistemology,
connect it to the public image of mathematics, and give a summary and an introduction to the contributions to this issue.

Current mainstream psychology is characterized by mismatch between questions asked and methods used to answer the questions.
There are several important and theoretically justified methodological principles that can be found in pre-WWII (mostly continental
Europe) psychology, but disappeared from current mainstream psychology. Future psychology can be built with understanding
that not everything that is new is better than the old and not everything that disappeared in the history of psychology disappeared
for rational reasons. Methodological thinking of several pre-WWII psychologists may have been far ahead of current mainstream
psychology.

Relatively little is known about the factor structure of disruptive behavior among preadolescent girls. The present study
reports on exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of disruptive girl behavior over four successive data waves as rated
by parents and teachers in a large, representative community sample of girls (N = 2,451). Five factors were identified from parent ratings (oppositional behavior/conduct problems, inattention, hyperactivity/impulsivity,
relational aggression, and callous-unemotional behaviors), and four factors were identified derived from teacher ratings (oppositional
behavior/conduct problems/callous-unemotional behaviors, inattention, hyperactivityimpulsivity, and relational aggression).
There was a high degree of consistency of items loading on equivalent factors across parent and teacher ratings. Year-to-year
stability of factors between ages five and 12 was high for parent ratings (ICC = 0.70 to 0.88), and slightly lower for teacher
ratings (ICC = 0.56 to 0.83). These findings are discussed in terms of possible adjustment to the criteria for children's
disruptive behavior disorders found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders.

Defenders of the extended mind thesis say that it is possible that some of our mental states may be constituted, in part,
by states of the extrabodily environment. Often they also add that such extended mentation is a commonplace phenomenon. I
argue that extended mentation, while not impossible, is either nonexistent or far from widespread. Genuine beliefs as they
occur in normal biologically embodied systems are informationally integrated with each other, and sensitive to changes in
the person’s overall system of beliefs. Environmental states, however, fail to satisfy this central feature of the functional
role of belief, and hence fail to be genuine mental states.

In this paper we discuss visualizations in mathematics from a historical and didactical perspective. We consider historical
debates from the 17th and 19th centuries regarding the role of intuition and visualizations in mathematics. We also consider
the problem of what a visualization in mathematical learning can achieve. In an empirical study we investigate what mathematical
conclusions university students made on the basis of a visualization. We emphasize that a visualization in mathematics should
always be considered in its proper context.

Some moral theorists defend a holistic account of practical reasons and deny that the possibility of moral thought depends
upon the existence of moral principles. This article explores the implications of this position for theorising about justice,
which has often aspired to provide us with an ordered list of principles to govern our institutions and practices.

Hans Muller has recently attempted to show that Frank Jackson cannot assert the existence of qualia without thereby falsifying
himself on the matter of such mental states being epiphenomenal with respect to the physical world. I argue that Muller misunderstands
the commitments of qualia epiphenomenalism and that, as a result, his arguments against Jackson do not go through.

Sharon Ryan has recently argued that if one has compatibilist intuitions about free action, then one should reject the claim that agents cannot exercise direct voluntary control over coming to believe. In this paper I argue that the differences between beliefs and actions make the expectation of direct voluntary control over coming to believe unreasonable. So Ryan's theory of doxastic agency is untenable.

Anti-Autonomism Defended: A Reply to Hill 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Stephen Maitzen 《Philosophia》2008,36(4):567-574
In the current issue of this journal, Scott Hill critiques some of my work on the “is”-“ought” controversy, the Hume-inspired
debate over whether an ethical conclusion can be soundly, or even validly, derived from only non-ethical premises. I’ve argued
that it can be; Hill is unconvinced. I reply to Hill’s critique, focusing on four key questions to which he and I give different
answers.
