Propositional Attitude Psychology As An Ideal Type, Justin Schwartz Jan 1992

Propositional Attitude Psychology As An Ideal Type, Justin Schwartz

Justin Schwartz

his paper critiques the view, widely held by philosophers of mind and cognitive scientists, that psychological explanation is a matter of ascribing propositional attitudes (such as beliefs and desires) towards language-like propositions in the mind, and that cognitive mental states consist in intentional attitudes towards propositions of a linguistic quasi-linguistic nature. On this view, thought is structured very much like a language. Denial that propositional attitude psychology is an adequate account of mind is therefore, on this view, is tantamount to eliminative materialism, the denial that human beings are thinking beings.

I dispute this on the basis of recent work …

Equilibrium Visions, Mario J. Rizzo Jan 1992

Equilibrium Visions, Mario J. Rizzo

Mario Rizzo

This is an analysis of the uses of the equilibrium concept in the works of Ludwig von Mises, Friedrich Hayek and Ludwig Lachmann. It is claimed that for Mises the concept of equilibrium is an analytical tool or construct. Hayek and Lachmann thought of equilibrium in more realistic terms but differed as to the extent to which the real world approximates an equilibrium.

Mencius And Aquinas: Theories Of Virtue And Conceptions Of Courage By Lee H. Yearley, Philip Novak Dec 1991

Mencius And Aquinas: Theories Of Virtue And Conceptions Of Courage By Lee H. Yearley, Philip Novak

Philip Novak

"This erudite and meticulous study in what Yearley appealingly calls the comparative philosophy of religious flourishings is a significant contribution to cross-cultural philosophy of religion and virtue theory. Yearley is methodologically inventive (perhaps one of the chief reasons why Alisdair MacIntyre in an early promotional blurb calls the book 'indispensably useful') and analytically unstinting, bringing to the comparative study of human excellences a new level of subtlety." ~ from the review

Who's Afraid Of Multiple Realizability?: Functionalism, Reductionism, And Connectionism, Justin Schwartz Dec 1991

Who's Afraid Of Multiple Realizability?: Functionalism, Reductionism, And Connectionism, Justin Schwartz

Justin Schwartz

Philosophers have argued that on the prevailing theory of mind, functionalism, the fact that mental states are multiply realizable or can be instantiated in a variety of different physical forms, at least in principle, shows that materialism or physical is probably false. A similar argument rejects the relevance to psychology of connectionism, which holds that mental states are embodied and and constituted by connectionist neural networks. These arguments, I argue, fall before reductios ad absurdam, proving too much -- they apply as well to genes, which are multiply realizable, but the reduction of which to DNA is one the core …

The Myth Of Retributive Justice, Brian Slattery Dec 1991

The Myth Of Retributive Justice, Brian Slattery

Brian Slattery

In fairy tales, villains usually come to a bad end, snared in a trap of their own making, or visited with a disaster nicely suited to their particular villainy. Read a story of this kind to children and you will be struck by the profound satisfaction with which this predictable of events is greeted. Yet, if children cheer when the villain is done in, they are just as satisfied when the hero manages to get the villain by the throat but takes pity and spares him. These tales of retribution and mercy, even reduced to their barest bones, seem to …
