As Vetter says, we are at the “beginning of the debate, not the end” (2015: 300) when it comes to evaluating her potentiality-based account of metaphysical modality. This paper contributes to this developing debate by highlighting three problems for Vetter’s account. Specifically, I begin (§1) by articulating some relevant details of Vetter’s potentiality-based view. This leads to the first issue (§2), concerning unclarity in the idea of degrees of potentiality. Similarly, the second issue (§3) raises trouble for Vetter’s proposed individuation conditions for potentialities. Finally, the third issue (§4) is about apparently unmanifestable intrinsic potentialities, and suggests that there might be some deeper problems with anchoring metaphysical possibilities in concrete objects. More generally, though the issues detailed here are problematic, I do not take them to be fatal. However, they do show that, at minimum, further clarification of Vetter’s potentiality view is required.
正如Vetter所说,当涉及到评估她对形而上学形态的基于潜力的描述时,我们处于“辩论的开始,而不是结束”(2015:300)。这篇论文通过强调Vetter的叙述中的三个问题,为这场不断发展的辩论做出了贡献。具体地说,我开始(§1)阐明一些相关细节的维特的潜力为基础的观点。这就引出了第一个问题(§2),即关于势度概念的不明确性。同样,第二个问题(§3)也为Vetter提出的潜力的个性化条件带来了麻烦。最后,第三个问题(§4)是关于表面上不可显化的内在潜能的,并指出把形而上学的可能性锚定在具体对象上,可能有一些更深层的问题。更一般地说,虽然这里详述的问题是有问题的,但我并不认为它们是致命的。然而,他们确实表明,至少,进一步澄清维特的潜力观点是需要的。

Possibility and the analysis of dispositions 意向的可能性和分析
IF 0.2 Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-03-31 DOI: 10.4454/PHILINQ.V8I1.276
A. Bird
I examine Barbara Vetter’s dispositional account of modality and the analysis of dispositions upon which it is based. The latter ties dispositions to manifestations only. I argue that this feature gives Vetter’s account an advantage over other dispositional accounts of modality – it avoids the ‘problem of [how to ground] non-conditional possibilities’. On the other hand, I argue that we need stimuli as well as manifestations in order to distinguish distinct dispositions that have identical manifestations. Vetter’s answer to the latter says that some manifestations are conditional in nature. That answer undermines the advantage that Vetter’s account had with regard to the problem of non-conditional possibilities – her view now also faces that problem. I also raise the question of how it is that the analysis of an ‘everyday’ concept such as ‘disposition’ could provide insight into fundamental questions of modal metaphysics.
我研究了芭芭拉·维特对情态的性格描述,以及它所依据的性格分析。后者仅将倾向与表现联系起来。我认为这个特征使Vetter的描述比其他情态的性格描述更有优势——它避免了“[如何建立]非条件可能性的问题”。另一方面,我认为我们需要刺激和表现来区分具有相同表现的不同性格。维特对后者的回答是,有些表现在本质上是有条件的。这个答案削弱了维特在非条件可能性问题上的优势——她的观点现在也面临着这个问题。我还提出了这样一个问题:对“日常”概念(如“性情”)的分析如何能够为模态形而上学的基本问题提供洞察力。

Potentialities as properties 潜能作为属性
IF 0.2 Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-03-31 DOI: 10.4454/PHILINQ.V8I1.279
J. Mckitrick
In Potentiality: From Dispositions to Modality , Barbara Vetter attempts to ground modality in properties that she calls “potentialities”. Whether potentialities are up to this task depends on what properties are. However, major accounts of the metaphysics of properties, such as Class Nominalism, Trope Theory, Immanent Realism, Platonism, are incompatible with Vetter’s claims about potentialities. Nevertheless, a modified account of potentialities might be compatible with Immanent Realism or Trope Nominalism.
在《潜能:从倾向到情态》一书中,芭芭拉·维特试图将情态建立在她称之为“潜能”的属性中。电位是否能完成这项任务取决于属性是什么。然而,主要的性质形而上学的说法,如类唯名论、比喻论、内在实在论、柏拉图主义,都与维特关于潜能的主张不相容。然而,一种修改后的潜力解释可能与内在实在论或修辞唯名论相容。

Spinoza: reasoned indifference as an introduction to adaptation in unusual circumstances 斯宾诺莎:理性的冷漠是在特殊情况下适应的引子
IF 0.2 Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-03-31 DOI: 10.4454/PHILINQ.V8I1.233
Abraham Mounitz
The study offers a practical model of Spinoza’s behavioral teachings for empowering a person’s ability to cope in stressful situations. The concept of different and indifferent exerts significant implications on everyday lives of a person. This model offers philosophical tool for the intellectual control of emotions that weaken a person’s power to act. The first part offers Spinoza’s metaphysical basis, focusing on the two titular concepts that represent humans and nature. Next is Spinoza’s philosophical method of guiding people toward conduct that is associated with and derived from nature’s reasoning as values that ameliorate everyday conduct. The practical layer of this study   offers a basic model, a philosophical anchor, which can be used for the formulation of empirical research questionnaires on various topic associated with an individual’s adaptation to a challenging emotional environment and all it entails (feelings, ability to function etc.). The study also present a sample questionnaire formulated according to the Spinozist model. The study’s final part presents several interviews conducted by the author in the model’s spirit as an outline for future empirical studies and for the formulation of curricula designed in the spirit of Spinoza’s behavioral philosophy.
这项研究为斯宾诺莎的行为教导提供了一个实用的模型,以增强人们应对压力的能力。不同和冷漠的概念对一个人的日常生活有着重要的影响。这个模型为理智地控制削弱人的行动能力的情绪提供了哲学工具。第一部分提供了斯宾诺莎的形而上学基础,重点讨论了代表人类和自然的两个名义上的概念。接下来是斯宾诺莎的哲学方法,指导人们的行为,这些行为与自然推理有关,并从自然推理中衍生出来,作为改善日常行为的价值观。本研究的实践层面提供了一个基本模型,一个哲学锚,可用于制定与个人适应具有挑战性的情绪环境及其所需要的一切(感觉,功能能力等)相关的各种主题的实证研究问卷。本研究还提出了一个根据斯宾诺莎模式制定的问卷样本。该研究的最后一部分提出了作者在模型精神下进行的几次访谈,作为未来实证研究的大纲,并为以斯宾诺莎行为哲学精神设计的课程制定做了概述。

A strange kind of power: Vetter on the formal adequacy of dispositionalism 一种奇怪的权力:维特论配置论的形式充分性
IF 0.2 Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-03-31 DOI: 10.4454/PHILINQ.V8I1.277
David Yates
According to dispositionalism about modality, a proposition is possible just in case something has, or some things have, a power or disposition for its truth; and is necessary just in case nothing has a power for its falsity. But are there enough powers to go around? In Yates (2015) I argued that in the case of mathematical truths such as , nothing has the power to bring about their falsity or their truth, which means they come out both necessary and not possible. Combining this with axiom (T): p⊃◇p, it is easy to derive a contradiction. I suggested that dispositionalists ought to retreat a little and say that is possible just in case either p, or there is a power to bring it about that p, grounding the possibility of mathematical propositions in their truth rather than in powers. Vetter’s (2015) has the resources to provide a response to my argument, and in her (2018) she explicitly addresses it by arguing for a plenitude of powers, based on the idea that dispositions come in degrees, with necessary properties a limiting case of dispositionality. On this view there is a power for , without there being a power to bring about its truth. In this paper I argue that Vetter’s case for plenitude does not work. However, I suggest, if we are prepared to accept metaphysical causation, a case can be made that there is indeed a power for .
根据关于情态的配置论,命题是可能的,只是在某物,或某些事物,有一种使其具有真理的能力或配置的情况下;它是必要的,只是为了防止任何事物都有其虚假的力量。但是有足够的权力分配吗?在Yates(2015)中,我认为在数学真理的情况下,例如,没有什么能够带来它们的虚假或真理,这意味着它们既是必要的,也是不可能的。把这个和公理(T): p、◇p结合起来,很容易推导出一个矛盾。我认为,性格主义者应该退一步说,这是可能的,只是在p的情况下,或者有一种力量来实现p,把数学命题的可能性建立在它们的真理上,而不是建立在力量上。Vetter的(2015)有足够的资源来回应我的论点,在她的(2018)中,她明确地通过论证充分的权力来解决这个问题,她的观点是,性格是有程度的,具有必要的属性,这是性格的限制情况。根据这种观点,有一种追求的力量,而没有一种实现它的真理的力量。在本文中,我认为维特的充分性理论并不成立。然而,我认为,如果我们准备接受形而上学的因果关系,就可以提出一个案例,即确实存在一种力量。

Potentiality, modality, and time 潜力,形态和时间
IF 0.2 Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-03-31 DOI: 10.4454/PHILINQ.V8I1.281

Barbara Vetter’s project in  Potentiality  is to articulate and defend a dispositionalist theory of modality based on potentialities. My focus is on the metaphysics of her positive theory. I consider one of Vetter’s main targets, David Lewis’s theory of possible worlds, and use it to distinguish what I call “ de re  first” approaches from “ de dicto  first” approaches. This way of framing the disagreement helps shed light on what their respective accounts can intuitively accomplish. In particular, I introduce objections to Vetter’s requirement that the grounds of  de dicto  modal truths must be routed through time. I also suggest an alternative  de dicto  first approach that Vetter does not consider, one which does not come saddled with Lewis’s ontology or with Vetter’s issues with  de dicto modal truths. Rather, on incompatibilism, modality is grounded on second-order relations between (non-potentialist) properties, e.g. incompatibility or entailment. Defenders of  de dicto  first approaches, including incompatibilism, can better account for such de dicto modal truths, thus undermining some of the intuitive appeal of Vetter’s theory.
芭芭拉·维特(Barbara Vetter)在《潜能》一书中的项目是阐明并捍卫基于潜能的情态的配置主义理论。我关注的是她积极理论的形而上学。我考虑了Vetter的主要目标之一,David Lewis的可能世界理论,并用它来区分我所谓的“de re first”方法和“de dicto first”方法。这种表达分歧的方式有助于阐明他们各自的说法直觉上能达到的效果。特别地,我将介绍对Vetter的要求的反对意见,即dicto模态真理的基础必须穿越时间。我还提出了另一种Vetter没有考虑到的dicto first方法,它不受Lewis的本体论或Vetter关于dicto模态真理的问题的影响。相反,在不容性上,情态是建立在(非潜在的)性质之间的二阶关系上的,例如不容性或蕴涵。包括不相容论在内的“自言自语优先”方法的捍卫者可以更好地解释这种自言自语的模态真理,从而削弱了维特理论的一些直观吸引力。

Potentiality: Actualism minus naturalism equals platonism 潜能:现实主义减去自然主义等于柏拉图主义
IF 0.2 Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-03-31 DOI: 10.4454/PHILINQ.V8I1.278
Giacomo Giannini, Matthew Tugby
Vetter (2015) develops a localised theory of modality, based on potentialities of actual objects. Two factors play a key role in its appeal: its commitment to Hardcore Actualism, and to Naturalism. Vetter’s commitment to Naturalism is in part manifested in her adoption of Aristotelian universals. In this paper, we argue that a puzzle concerning the identity of unmanifested potentialities cannot be solved with an Aristotelian conception of properties. After introducing the puzzle, we examine Vetter’s attempt at amending the Aristotelian conception in a way that avoids the puzzle, and conclude that this amended version is no longer to be considered naturalistic. Potentiality theory cannot be both actualist and naturalist. We then argue that, if naturalism is to be abandoned by the actualist, there are good reasons to adopt a Platonist conception of universals, for they offer a number of theoretical advantages and allow us to avoid some of the problems facing Vetter’s theory.
Vetter(2015)发展了一种基于实际对象潜力的情态本地化理论。两个因素在它的吸引力中起着关键作用:它对硬核现实主义的承诺,以及对自然主义的承诺。维特对自然主义的承诺部分体现在她对亚里士多德共相的采纳上。在本文中,我们认为一个关于未表现潜能的同一性的难题不能用亚里士多德的属性概念来解决。在介绍了这个谜题之后,我们研究了维特试图以一种避免谜题的方式修正亚里士多德概念的尝试,并得出结论,这个修正后的版本不再被认为是自然主义的。潜势理论不能既是现实主义的又是自然主义的。然后,我们认为,如果现实主义者要抛弃自然主义,那么就有很好的理由采纳柏拉图主义的共相概念,因为它们提供了许多理论上的优势,并使我们能够避免维特理论面临的一些问题。

Integrating first and second nature: Rethinking John McDowell’s liberal naturalism 整合第一本性和第二本性:重新思考约翰·麦克道尔的自由自然主义

Thodoris Dimitrakos
McDowell’s ‘naturalism of second nature’ is one of the most important attempts to defend liberal naturalism in contemporary Anglo-American philosophy. Liberal naturalism stands as an umbrella term for philosophical accounts which place normative entities within the realm of nature. McDowell’s attempt to form an account which leaves room for normativity in nature is based on the distinction between ‘first’ and ‘second’ nature. In the present paper I shall attempt to shed light on McDowell’s notions of ‘first’ and ‘second’ nature and thereby provide an account about the status of normativity which is McDowellian in spirit. However, I suggest that human sciences offer an even more acute challenge to the conceptions of nature that aspire to be liberal naturalist, and I argue that McDowell’s account needs to be completed with a further conceptual distinction in order to cope with the challenge of human sciences. In particular, I argue that we should distinguish between the notions of explanatory reduction and normative eliminability.
麦克道尔的“第二本性的自然主义”是当代英美哲学中捍卫自由自然主义的最重要尝试之一。自由自然主义是将规范性实体置于自然领域的哲学论述的总称。麦克道尔试图在区分“第一”和“第二”本质的基础上,形成一种为自然的规范性留下空间的解释。在本文中,我将试图阐明麦克道尔关于“第一”和“第二”性质的概念,从而提供一种关于规范性地位的解释,这是麦克道尔精神上的。然而,我认为人文科学对那些渴望成为自由自然主义者的自然概念提出了更尖锐的挑战,我认为麦克道尔的描述需要以进一步的概念区分来完成,以应对人文科学的挑战。特别是,我认为我们应该区分解释性还原和规范性消除的概念。
