What people believe about memory

Two representative samples of adult Norwegians (n=2000) were asked a set of general and specific questions regarding their beliefs and opinions about human memory. The results indicate that on many questions, such as time of the earliest memories, inhibiting effects of collaboration, and memory for dramatic versus ordinary events, the views of the general public concurred with current research findings, and people in general had realistic views about their own memory performance. On other questions, such as the reliability of olfactory as compared with visual and auditory memory, the memory of small children in comparison with that of adults, the likelihood of repression of adult traumatic memories, and on more general questions such as the possibility of training memory and the capacity limitations of long-term memory, a large proportion of the participants expressed views that are less supported by scientific evidence. Implications of these findings are briefly discussed.     

厘清伦理学的对象与定义

厘清伦理学的对象与定义是构建伦理学理论体系的首要问题。以往对伦理学研究对象的说法大致可以归并为德性、道德价值、道德行为、道德规范、道德语言、自由、幸福、人生问题和道德这九种。经逐一分析可知,前八种界说难以成立。第九种界说将伦理学的对象直接聚焦于道德是值得肯定的,可由此给出的伦理学定义还是不够准确与周延。虽然道德是伦理学的基本对象,但并不是伦理学的全部对象。能将伦理学全部对象一网打尽的概念只有道德问题,因而伦理学就是系统研究各种道德问题的学问。     

Doing What is Best

If doing what is best sets the right ideal of rational agency, then rational agents should do what they believe to be best. As long as we leave open the question what makes an option best, all plausible theories of rationality willfit into this framework. Consequently, rational agents will always want to do the things they believes to be best. This claim is an instance of what David Lewis calls the desire-as-belief thesis, which he has tried to refute. I reject Lewis' argument by criticizing his treatment of belief-change in respect of propositions about degrees of goodness.
