ABSTRACT:The paper presents teleo-inferentialism, which is a novel meta-semantic theory that combines advantages of teleosemantics and normative inferentialism. Like normative inferentialism, teleo-inferentialism holds that contents are individuated by the norms that govern inferences in which they occur. This allows teleo-inferentialism to account for sophisticated concepts. Like teleosemantics, teleo-inferentialism explains conceptual norms in a naturalistically acceptable way by appeal to the broadly biological well-functioning of our innate capacities. As a test-case for teleo-inferentialism, I discuss how the view handles Kripkenstein-style meaning skepticism.
摘要:目的论是一种新型的元语义理论,它结合了目的论和规范推理论的优点。与规范推理主义一样,目的性推理主义认为,内容是由支配其发生的推理的规范个体化的。这使得目的论能够解释复杂的概念。和目的论一样,目的论也以一种自然可接受的方式来解释概念规范,它诉诸于我们先天能力的广泛的生物学功能。作为远推理主义的一个测试案例,我讨论了这种观点如何处理克里普肯斯坦式的意义怀疑主义。

Getting Ready to Share Commitments 准备好分享承诺

ABSTRACT:Paul Grice’s theory of meaning has been widely adopted as a starting point for investigating the evolutionary and developmental emergence of linguistic communication. In this picture, reasoning about complexes of intentions is a prerequisite for communicating effectively at the prelinguistic level, as well as for acquiring a natural language. We argue that this broadly ‘Gricean’ picture rests on an equivocation between theories of communication and theories of cognition, and that it leads to paradoxical or implausible claims about human psychology. We defend an alternative conception of prelinguistic communication, inspired by Bart Geurts and based on the notion of commitment. Adopting a commitment-first approach makes it possible to avoid the pernicious equivocation, and it provides a better systematization of the key empirical findings. We develop our argument with respect to (1) infants’ sensitivity to ‘ostensive signals’; (2) infants’ pointing; (3) and infants’ endorsement of normative attitudes in joint activities. Finally, adopting a commitment-first approach makes it possible to argue that sophisticated forms of psychological reasoning are enabled by the mastery of a rich natural language, rather than being a prerequisite for acquiring one.
摘要:保罗·格赖斯的意义理论被广泛用于研究语言交际的进化和发展过程。在这幅图中,对复杂意图的推理是在前语言水平上有效交流的先决条件,也是获得自然语言的先决条件。我们认为,这种宽泛的“格里希式”图景是建立在交流理论和认知理论之间的模棱两可之上的,它导致了关于人类心理学的矛盾或不可信的主张。我们为前语言交际的另一种概念辩护,该概念受到巴特·格尔茨的启发,并基于承诺的概念。采用承诺优先的方法可以避免有害的模棱两可,并为关键的实证结果提供更好的系统化。我们从以下几个方面展开论证:(1)婴儿对“明示信号”的敏感性;(2)婴儿指向;(3)与幼儿对联合活动中规范性态度的认同有关。最后,采用“承诺优先”的方法可以证明,复杂形式的心理推理是通过掌握丰富的自然语言来实现的,而不是获得自然语言的先决条件。

Family Feuds? Relativism, Expressivism, and Disagreements about Disagreement 家庭纠纷?相对主义、表现主义和关于分歧的分歧

ABSTRACT:In Expressing Our Attitudes (OUP, 2015), Mark Schroeder speculates about the relation between expressivism and relativism. Noting that “John MacFarlane has wondered whether relativism is expressivism done right,” he suggests that this may get things back to front: “it is worth taking seriously the idea that expressivism is relativism done right” (Schroeder 2015, 25). In this piece, motivated both by Schroeder’s suggestion and by recent work from Lionel Shapiro, I compare and contrast my version of expressivism with MacFarlane’s version of relativism. I identify some significant differences concerning the treatment of linguistic disagreement, but conclude that despite these differences, MacFarlane’s version of relativism counts as a version of expressivism in my sense, in most of the respects that matter.
摘要:马克·施罗德在《表达我们的态度》(OUP, 2015)中对表现主义和相对主义之间的关系进行了推测。注意到“John MacFarlane想知道相对主义是否是正确的表现主义”,他建议这可能会让事情回到前面:“值得认真对待表现主义是正确的相对主义的想法”(Schroeder 2015,25)。在这篇文章中,受施罗德的建议和莱昂内尔·夏皮罗最近的工作的启发,我将我的表现主义版本与麦克法兰的相对主义版本进行了比较和对比。我确定了一些关于处理语言分歧的显著差异,但结论是,尽管存在这些差异,在我看来,在大多数重要的方面,麦克法兰的相对主义版本算是表现主义的一个版本。

Inferentialism Naturalized Inferentialism归化

ABSTRACT:Brandom’s inferentialism explains meaning in terms of inferential rules. As he insists that “the normative” (including meanings) is not reducible to “the natural,” inferentialism would seem an unlikely ally of naturalism. However, in this paper I suggest that Brandom’s theory of language harbors insights which can promote a naturalistic theory of meaning and language, and that a naturalistic version of Brandom’s inferentialism might have great potential. Also I sketch the lines along which such a theory could be built.
摘要:布兰顿的推理主义从推理规则的角度来解释意义。由于他坚持认为“规范”(包括意义)不能简化为“自然”,推理主义似乎不太可能成为自然主义的盟友。然而,在本文中,我认为布兰顿的语言理论蕴藏着促进意义和语言的自然主义理论的见解,并且布兰顿的推理主义的自然主义版本可能具有巨大的潜力。此外,我还概述了建立这样一个理论的思路。

Wilfrid Sellars on Science and the Mind 威尔弗里德·塞拉斯《科学与心灵
Pub Date : 2022-09-06 DOI: 10.5840/philtopics202250111
Anke Breunig
ABSTRACT:This paper explores some ideas of Wilfrid Sellars to raise two difficulties for a naturalistic approach to the mind. The first difficulty, which is methodological, is a corollary of Sellars’s distinction between two images of man-in-the-world, the manifest and the scientific image. For Sellars, taking science seriously requires that we think of it as constructing a unified image of man-in-the-world of its own. I argue that it is the rivalry between the manifest and the scientific image which gives rise to the mind-body-problem. The challenge for a naturalistic solution to the mind-body-problem is that it is not legitimate to isolate single scientific results from their theoretical context in order to integrate them piecemeal into the manifest image. According to Sellars, a satisfactory solution to the mind-body-problem must attempt nothing less than a fusion of both images which somehow respects and preserves the unity of each. The second, substantial difficulty for a naturalistic approach to the mind is that of coming to terms with the normativity of the mental. Many interpreters take Sellars to hold that normativity sets the mental apart from the rest of nature. Against this I argue that according to Sellars the living is governed by norms of its own. It follows that normativity cannot serve as the mark of the mental. I argue that according to Sellars the distinguishing feature of the mental lies elsewhere, namely in the way in which normative force comes about. Unlike biological norms, the norms of thought owe their force to a common practice of mutual evaluation. However, the assumption that there are norms in animate nature should make it easier for naturalists to accept that the mental is characterized by norms of its own.
摘要:本文探讨了威尔弗里德·塞拉斯的一些思想,提出了用自然主义方法研究心灵的两个困难。第一个困难是方法论上的,这是塞拉斯区分世界中人的两种形象的必然结果,即显象形象和科学形象。对于塞拉斯来说,认真对待科学要求我们把它看作是构建一个统一的人在世界中的形象。我认为,正是表象与科学表象之间的竞争导致了身心问题的产生。对身心问题的自然主义解决方案的挑战在于,将单个科学结果从其理论背景中分离出来,以便将它们零碎地整合到明显的图像中,这是不合理的。根据塞拉斯的说法,一个令人满意的身心问题的解决方案必须尝试将两种图像融合在一起,以某种方式尊重并保持两者的统一性。第二个,自然主义研究心灵的主要困难是,如何接受心灵的规范性。许多诠释者接受塞拉斯的观点,认为规范性将精神与自然的其他部分区分开来。与此相反,我认为,根据塞拉斯的观点,生活是由其自身的规范所支配的。由此可见,规范性不能作为精神的标志。我认为,根据塞拉斯的观点,精神的显著特征在于别处,即规范性力量产生的方式。与生物规范不同,思想规范的力量来自于相互评价的共同实践。然而,假设在有生命的自然界中存在规范,自然主义者应该更容易接受这样一种观点,即精神有其自身的规范。

The Evolution of Reason Giving and Confirmation Bias: What Has Been Explained? 理性给予与确认偏误的演变:解释了什么?
Pub Date : 2022-09-06 DOI: 10.5840/philtopics202250110

ABSTRACT:In their own way, inferentialists and interactionists both trace the roots of reflective reasoning to practices and skills for making, assessing, and responding to public performances in communicative practices of giving and asking for reasons. Inferentialists have developed the idea mostly on conceptual grounds. Interactionists ask, in a more empirical spirit, why and how such practices and skills might have evolved. Thus they promise complementary “anthropological” insights of foremost interest to inferentialists. But interactionist theories advance a number of controversial claims that deserve careful scrutiny. In this essay I focus on one such claim: namely that confirmation bias can be plausibly explained as a design feature that promotes postulated functions of interactive reasoning. And I argue that each of three extant proposals fails to make the claim good.
摘要:推理主义者和互动主义者都以自己的方式将反思性推理的根源追溯到在给出和询问理由的交际实践中制作、评估和回应公共表演的实践和技巧。推理主义者主要是在概念基础上发展这一观点的。互动主义者以一种更经验主义的精神,询问这些实践和技能可能进化的原因和方式。因此,他们承诺补充“人类学”的见解,这是推理主义者最感兴趣的。但相互作用论提出了一些有争议的主张,值得仔细审查。在这篇文章中,我关注的是这样一种说法:即确认偏差可以合理地解释为一种设计特征,它促进了互动推理的假设功能。我认为,现存的三个建议都不能证明这种说法是正确的。

Introduction: Inferentialism on Naturalized Grounds 引言:归化基础上的推理主义
Pub Date : 2022-09-06 DOI: 10.5840/philtopics20225011

ABSTRACT:This article addresses the two most important areas of potential conflict between inferentialism and naturalism, namely normativity and rationality. Concerning the first, it sides with inferentialism, while at the same time developing a normativist position less vulnerable to naturalistic objections. There is nothing problematic or mysterious about semantic normativity or normativity in general. But one needs to distinguish different types of normativity and recognize that statements of norms can be perfectly truth-apt. Concerning the second area of conflict, my verdict is partly naturalistic. It rejects overly intellectualist accounts of the normative practices that underlie meaning and content. The article ends with a plea for an ‘anthropological’ naturalism that eschews both ontological supernaturalism and epistemological naturalism.
摘要:本文探讨了推理主义与自然主义之间两个最重要的潜在冲突领域,即规范性与合理性。关于前者,它站在推理主义一边,同时又发展出一种规范主义的立场,不那么容易受到自然主义的反对。语义规范性或一般的规范性没有什么问题或神秘之处。但我们需要区分不同类型的规范性,并认识到规范的陈述可以完全符合真理。关于第二个冲突领域,我的结论部分是自然主义的。它反对对构成意义和内容基础的规范实践的过分理智主义的解释。文章以一种“人类学”的自然主义结束,这种自然主义避免了本体论的超自然主义和认识论的自然主义。

Group Excuse from Blameless Ignorance 群体为无可指责的无知找借口
Pub Date : 2022-07-29 DOI: 10.5840/philtopics202149212
Jessica Brown
ABSTRACT:We routinely treat groups, such as governments and corporations, as agents with beliefs and aims who are morally responsible for their actions. For instance, we might blame the government for its response to the coronavirus pandemic. If groups are morally responsible agents, then it's plausible that they can have an excuse for wrongdoing from ignorance in just the way individuals can. For instance, a government might attempt to excuse its performance in the coronavirus pandemic by saying that it didn't know how infectious the new variant was. In this paper, I assume that groups are morally responsible agents to develop an account of what it is for a group to have an excuse from blameless ignorance.
摘要:我们通常把政府和企业等群体视为有信仰、有目标、对自己的行为负有道德责任的行动者。例如,我们可能会指责政府对冠状病毒大流行的反应。如果群体是道德上负责任的行为体,那么他们就可以像个人一样,为无知的行为找到借口,这是合理的。例如,政府可能会试图为其在冠状病毒大流行中的表现辩解,说它不知道新变种的传染性有多大。在本文中,我假设群体是道德上负责任的行为体,以发展一种解释,说明一个群体为何有借口逃避无可指责的无知。

Epistemic Styles 认知风格
Pub Date : 2022-07-29 DOI: 10.5840/philtopics202149214
C. Flores
ABSTRACT:Epistemic agents interact with evidence in different ways. This can cause trouble for mutual understanding and for our ability to rationally engage with others. Indeed, it can compromise democratic practices of deliberation. This paper explains these differences by appeal to a new notion: epistemic styles. Epistemic styles are ways of interacting with evidence that express unified sets of epistemic values, preferences, goals, and interests. The paper introduces the notion of epistemic styles and develops a systematic account of their nature. It then discusses the implications of epistemic styles for central questions in epistemology, in particular, for issues surrounding rational engagement and for the debate between virtue epistemologists and epistemic situationists.
摘要:认知主体以不同的方式与证据相互作用。这可能会给相互理解和我们与他人理性交往的能力带来麻烦。事实上,它可能会损害审议的民主实践。本文通过诉诸一个新概念:认知风格来解释这些差异。认知风格是与证据互动的方式,表达了统一的认知价值观、偏好、目标和兴趣。本文介绍了认知风格的概念,并对其本质进行了系统的阐述。然后讨论了认识论中核心问题的认识论风格的含义,特别是围绕理性参与的问题以及美德认识论家和认识论情境主义者之间的辩论。

Ignorance and Normativity 无知与规范
Pub Date : 2022-07-29 DOI: 10.5840/philtopics202149223
D. Pritchard
ABSTRACT:In the contemporary epistemological literature, ignorance is normally understood as the absence of an epistemic standing, usually either knowledge or true belief.

摘要:在当代认识论文献中,无知通常被理解为缺乏认识论地位,通常是知识或真正的信仰。这里认为,这种对无知的思考方式忽略了一个关键因素,即无知的规范方面。特别地,无知不仅仅是缺乏目标认知地位,而且还意味着这是一个人应该拥有的认知地位。我探讨了这种说法的动机,并展示了它如何帮助我们理解一系列关于无知的案例,这些案例是传统的、非规范的关于无知的描述所困扰的。我也用这个关于无知的规范概念来帮助阐明由于无知而导致缺乏的特定类型的认知立场。
