The apparent truth of dualism and the uncanny body 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Stephen Burwood 《Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences》2008,7(2):263-278
It has been suggested that our experiences of embodiment in general appear to constitute an experiential ground for dualist
philosophy and that this is particularly so with experiences of dissociation, in which one feels estranged from one’s body.
Thus, Drew Leder argues that these play “a crucial role in encouraging and supporting Cartesian dualism” as they “seem to
support the doctrine of an immaterial mind trapped inside an alien body”. In this paper I argue that as dualism does not capture
the character of such experiences there is not even an apparent separation of self and body revealed here and that one’s body
is experienced as uncanny rather than alien. The general relationship between our philosophical theorizing and the phenomenology
of lived experience is also considered.

This article addresses the dynamics of faith manifested in Christian discipleship and patriotism. Exploration of the dynamics
of faith, whether in Christian or patriotic discipleship, involves identifying the nature of the object of devotion and concomitant
expectations of one’s relationship vis-à-vis the object. From this exploration, various contradictions between Christian and
patriotic discipleship are identified. To resolve cognitive dissonance or smooth over contradictions, Christian patriots employ
several psychosocial strategies, namely, merger, weak dissociation, rationalization, and denial.

I criticize recent nonconceptualist readings of Kant’s account of perception on the grounds that the strategy of the Deduction
requires that understanding be involved in the synthesis of imagination responsible for the intentionality of perceptual experience.
I offer an interpretation of the role of understanding in perceptual experience as the consciousness of normativity in the
association of one’s representations. This leads to a reading of Kant which is conceptualist, but in a way which accommodates
considerations favoring nonconceptualism, in particular the primitive character of perceptual experience relative to thought
and judgment.

Restating an interlocutor’s position in an incredulous tone of voice can sometimes serve legitimate dialectical ends. However,
there are cases in which incredulous restatement is out of bounds. This article provides an analysis of one common instance
of the inappropriate use of incredulous restatement, which the authors call “modus tonens.” The authors argue that modus tonens
is vicious because it pragmatically implicates the view that one’s interlocutor is one’s cognitive subordinate and provides
a cue to like-minded onlookers that dialectical opponents are not to be treated as epistemic peers.

Many spiritual traditions employ certain mental techniques (meditation) which consist in inhibiting mental activity whilst
nonetheless remaining fully conscious, which is supposed to lead to a realisation of one’s own true nature prior to habitual
self-substantialisation. In this paper I propose that this practice can be understood as a special means of becoming aware
of consciousness itself as such. To explain this claim I conduct some phenomenologically oriented considerations about the
nature of consciousness qua presence and the problem of self-presence of this presence.

This is a discussion of the problem of extending the basic AGM belief revision theory to iterated belief revision: the problem
of formulating rules, not only for revising a basic belief state in response to potential new information, but also for revising
one’s revision rules in response to potential new information. The emphasis in the paper is on foundational questions about
the nature of and motivation for various constraints, and about the methodology of the evaluation of putative counterexamples
to proposed constraints. Some specific constraints that have been proposed are criticized. The paper emphasizes the importance
of meta-information—information about one’s sources of information—and argues that little of substance can be said about constraints
on iterated belief revision at a level of abstraction that lacks the resources for explicit representation of meta-information.

There’s something deeply right in the idea that knowledge requires an ability to discriminate truth from falsity. Failing
to incorporate some version of the discrimination requirement into one’s epistemology generates cases of putative knowledge
that are at best problematic. On the other hand, many theories that include a discrimination requirement thereby appear to
entail violations of closure. This prima facie tension is resolved nicely in Jonathan Schaffer’s contrastivism, which I describe
herein. The contrastivist take on relevant alternatives is implausible, however, and this then threatens to undermine contrastivism’s
anti-skeptical results.

Learning from Minimal Economic Models 总被引:5,自引:5,他引:0
Till Grüne-Yanoff 《Erkenntnis》2009,70(1):81-99
It is argued that one can learn from minimal economic models. Minimal models are models that are not similar to the real world,
do not resemble some of its features, and do not adhere to accepted regularities. One learns from a model if constructing
and analysing the model affects one’s confidence in hypotheses about the world. Economic models, I argue, are often assessed
for their credibility. If a model is judged credible, it is considered to be a relevant possibility. Considering such relevant
possibilities may affect one’s confidence in necessity or impossibility hypotheses. Thus, one can learn from minimal economic
models.

Autonomy,Force and Cultural Plurality 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
Monica Mookherjee 《Res Publica》2008,14(3):147-168
Within now prolific debates surrounding the compatibility of feminism and multiculturalism in liberal societies, the need
arises for a normative conception of women’s self-determination that does not violate the self-understandings or values of
women of different backgrounds and forms of life. With reference to the recent British debate about forced marriage, this
article proposes an innovative approach to this problem in terms of the idea of ‘plural autonomy’. While the capacity for
autonomy is plural, in the sense of varying across cultures, autonomy in any world-view involves a capacity to ‘endorse’ one’s
decisions in certain crucial spheres of life. Non-endorsement, coercion or force occurs if one risks being alienated from
the (cultural) goods and relationships that structure one’s capacity to act in the world. This approach counsels more caution
than prominent liberal approaches with respect to negotiating the contested boundary between freedom and force in a diverse
society.

According to mentalism some existing things are endowed with (subjectively) conscious minds. According to physicalism all existing things consist entirely of physical particles in fields of force. Searle holds that mentalism and physicalism are
compatible and true—“the world is one”. The aim of this paper is to show that Searle fails to make the compatibility between
mentalism and physicalism intelligible. The paper has three parts: first, I criticize drawing an analogy between solidity
and consciousness as macro-features of systems with micro-features. Second, I argue that Searle’s defence of the ontological
irreducibility of consciousness is terminologically confused and that his argument for the trivial nature of that irreducibility
is unsuccessful. Third, I defend Nagel’s argument for the causal irreducibility of conscious minds by answering some of Searle’s
objections to it.

Harry Frankfurt characterizes love as “a disinterested concern for the existence of what is loved, and for what is good for
it.” As such, he views romantic love as an inauthentic paradigm for love since such love desires reciprocation, sexual gratification
and so on. I argue that Frankfurt’s conception of love is (a) too general—he does not distinguish between the type of love
one has for one’s partner, one’s country, a moral ideal, etc., (b) it overemphasizes the role of bestowal at the expense of
the part played by appraisal and (c) it is insufficiently social. Certain forms of love, romantic love and friendship for
instance, are defined largely in terms of reciprocation. For Frankfurt, reciprocation is somewhat of an accidental feature
of love. This deficiency in Frankfurt’s conception of love can be traced to a problem in his conception of selfhood which
I argue is insufficiently social in nature.

There is a tension with regard to regulative norms of inquiry. One’s commitments must survive critical scrutiny, and if they
do not survive, they should be revised. Alternately, for views to be adequately articulated and defended, their proponents
must maintain a strong commitment to the views in question. A solution is proposed with the notion of holding one’s own as
the virtue of being reason-responsive with the prospects of improving the view in question.

I criticize Timothy Williamson’s characterization of thought experiments on which the central judgments are judgments of contingent
counterfactuals. The fragility of these counterfactuals makes them too easily false, and too difficult to know.

Nietzsche represents in an interesting way the well-worn Western approach to Asian philosophical and religious thinking: initial
excitement, then neglect by appropriation, and swift rejection when found to be incompatible with one’s own tradition, whose
roots are inexorably traced back to the ‘ancient’ Greeks. Yet, Nietzsche’s philosophical critique and methods - such as ‘perspectivism’
- offer an instructive route through which to better understand another tradition even if the sole purpose of this exercise
is to perceive one’s own limitations through the eyes of the other: a self-destruktion of sorts. To help correct this shortcoming and begin the long overdue task of even-handed dialogue - or contemporary comparative
philosophy - we will be served well by looking at Nietzsche’s mistakes, which in turn informed the tragic critic of the West
of the last century, Martin Heidegger. We may learn here not to cast others in one’s own troubled image; and not to reverse
cultural icons: Europe’s Superman, and Asia’s Buddha.

Anatomically detailed dolls have been used to elicit testimony from children in sex abuse cases. However, studies have shown
they often provide false accounts in young, preschool-age children. Typically this problem is seen as a cognitive one: with
age, children can correctly map their bodies onto a doll due to greater intellectual ability to represent themselves. I argue, along with the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, that although cognitive developments aid in the ability
to represent one’s own body, a discussion of embodiment is required in order to understand the use and abuse of anatomical dolls in forensic interviews. This paper examines these
issues and maintains that a better understanding of embodied perception in both adults and children helps show how phenomenology
can provide a more nuanced understanding to a troubling ethical and legal problem.

In contemporary philosophy and psychology there is an ongoing debate around the concept of theory of mind. Theory of mind
concerns our ability to understand another person. The two approaches that dominate the debate are “Theory Theory” (TT) and
“Simulation Theory” (ST). This paper explores the connection between theory of mind and hermeneutics. Although both speak
of the nature of understanding, and the way we gain and organize our knowledge of others, certain aspects of Schleiermacher’s
hermeneutics reflect a theory approach, long before TT itself was developed. In contrast, Dilthey’s hermeneutics reflects
a simulation approach. In contrast to both of these approaches, I propose a contextual theory, as a parallel to Gadamer’s
work in hermeneutics, and as a view that offers the basis for an important critique of both TT and ST.
