Liking that It Hurts: The Case of the Masochist and Second-Order Desire Accounts of Pain's Unpleasantness 喜欢它的伤害:受虐狂的案例和二级欲望对痛苦的不愉快的描述

Recent work on pain focuses on the question “what makes pains unpleasant.” Second-order desire views claim that the unpleasantness of pain consists in a second-order intrinsic desire that the pain experience itself cease or stop. This paper considers a significant objection to Second-order desire views by considering the case of the masochist. It is argued that various ways in which the Second-order desire view might try to account for the case of the masochist encounter problems. The conclusion is that until there is a convincing explanation of how Second-order desire views can handle masochistic psychology, theorists should look elsewhere for an account of pains unpleasantness.
最近关于疼痛的研究集中在“是什么让疼痛不愉快”这个问题上。二阶欲望观点认为痛苦的不愉快存在于二阶内在欲望中,即痛苦体验本身停止或停止。本文通过考虑受虐者的情况,考虑对二阶欲望观点的重大异议。有人认为,二阶欲望观可能以各种方式试图解释受虐者遇到问题的情况。结论是,除非有一个令人信服的解释,说明二阶欲望观是如何处理受虐心理的,否则理论家们应该去其他地方寻找关于痛苦和不愉快的解释。

Does Hope Require Belief? 希望需要信念吗?

This paper interrogates a widely accepted view about the nature of hope. The view is that hoping that p involves a belief about the prospects of p. It is argued that taking hope to require belief is at odds with some forms of recalcitrant hope and certain ways in which hope patterns similarly to other emotions. The paper concludes by explaining why it matters whether hope requires belief.
这篇论文质疑了一种被广泛接受的关于希望本质的观点。这种观点认为,希望p涉及对p前景的信念。有人认为,将希望视为需要信念与某些形式的顽固希望以及希望模式与其他情绪相似的某些方式不一致。文章最后解释了为什么希望是否需要信念很重要。

The Paradox of Self-Blame 自责的悖论

It is widely accepted that there is what has been called a non-hypocrisy norm on the appropriateness of moral blame; roughly, one has standing to blame only if one is not guilty of the very offence one seeks to criticize. Our acceptance of this norm is embodied in the common retort to criticism, “Who are you to blame me?” But there is a paradox lurking behind this commonplace norm. If it is always inappropriate for x to blame y for a wrong that x has committed, then all cases in which x blames x (i.e., cases of self-blame) are rendered inappropriate. But it seems to be ethical common-sense that we are often, sadly, in position (indeed, excellent, privileged position) to blame ourselves for our own moral failings. And thus, we have a paradox: a conflict between the inappropriateness of hypocritical blame, and the appropriateness of self-blame. We consider several ways of resolving the paradox and contend none is as defensible as a position that simply accepts it: we should never blame ourselves. In defending this starting position, we defend a crucial distinction between self-blame and guilt.
人们普遍认为,在道德指责的适当性方面存在所谓的非虚伪规范;大致来说,只有当一个人没有犯下他想要批评的罪行时,他才有资格受到指责。我们对这种规范的接受体现在对批评的常见反驳中,“你怪我谁?”但在这种司空见惯的规范背后隐藏着一个悖论。如果x总是不适合将x犯下的错误归咎于y,那么x指责x的所有情况(即自责的情况)都是不合适的。但可悲的是,我们经常(实际上是一个优秀的特权地位)为自己的道德缺陷责怪自己,这似乎是道德常识。因此,我们有一个悖论:虚伪指责的不恰当性和自责的恰当性之间的冲突。我们考虑了几种解决悖论的方法,并认为没有一种方法能像简单接受它的立场那样站得住脚:我们永远不应该责怪自己。在捍卫这一起点时,我们捍卫了自责和内疚之间的关键区别。

Perfectionist Preferentism 完美主义偏好

This paper is about two seemingly inconsistent theories of well-being and how to reconcile them. The first theory is perfectionism, the view that the good of a human is determined by human nature. The second theory is preferentism, the view that the good of a human lies in the satisfaction of her preferences. I begin by sketching the theories and then developing an objection against each from the standpoint of the other. I then develop a version of each theory that is meant to address the objection from the other theory. It turns out that these modified perfectionist and preferentist theories are mutually supporting and co-extensive. They can be combined into a new theory, perfectionist preferentism, which is an independently plausible theory of well-being.
这篇论文是关于两种看似不一致的幸福感理论以及如何调和它们。第一种理论是完美主义,认为人的善是由人性决定的。第二种理论是偏好主义,认为人类的利益在于满足自己的偏好。我首先概述了这些理论,然后从对方的角度提出了反对意见。然后,我对每一种理论都进行了修改,以解决另一种理论的异议。事实证明,这些改良的完美主义和偏好主义理论是相互支持和共同扩展的。它们可以结合成一个新的理论,完美主义偏好主义,这是一个独立的、看似合理的幸福理论。

BLIND AND INCREMENTAL OR DIRECTED AND DISRUPTIVE? ON THE NATURE OF NOVEL VARIATION IN HUMAN CULTURAL EVOLUTION 盲目的增量式还是直接的破坏性?论人类文化进化中新变异的本质

Many scholars have rejected cultural evolutionary theory on the grounds that cultural variation is directed and intentionally created, rather than incremental and blind with respect to function, as is the case for novel genetic variation in genetic evolution. Meanwhile, some cultural evolution researchers insist that cultural variation is blind and undirected, and the only directional force is selection of randomlygenerated variants. Here I argue that neither of these positions are tenable. Cultural variation is directed in various ways. While this does not invalidate cultural evolution, more attention should be paid to the different sources of nonrandomness in culturally evolving systems. Introduction Does human culture evolve? Can we draw useful parallels between genetic evolution and cultural change? Can we use similar tools, methods, concepts and theories to understand cultural change as biologists use to understand genetic evolution? The rapid increase in research adopting a cultural evolution framework in the last few decades (Youngblood and Lahti 2018) shows that increasing numbers of scholars are answering “yes” to these questions. Yet in the grand scheme of academic research, cultural evolution remains a fringe pursuit. The majority of the social sciences and humanities reject any kind of evolutionary theorizing for understanding cultural phenomena, including cultural evolution (Slingerland and Collard 2011; Perry and Mace 2010). Even within the evolutionary human behavioral sciences, the theory of cultural evolution is often treated with skepticism (Daly 1982; Atran 2001; Pinker 1997). While there are many reasons for this rejection and skepticism, one common point of contention surrounds the issue of randomness and directionality in the generation of novel cultural variation. This is also a common source of disagreement amongst cultural evolution researchers (Lewens 2015; Claidière et al. 2014). In this paper I argue that there are genuine differences between genetic and cultural evolution in this sense. While some novel cultural variation seems to be generated randomly with respect to selection, akin to the generation of novel genetic variation, there are also several forms of directed cultural variation. I argue that while the latter do not invalidate the theory, approach or methods of cultural evolution, This content downloaded from 92.72.139.75 on Tue, 26 Jan 2021 16:19:44 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms 8 / AMERICAN PHILOSOPHICAL QUARTERLY more attention should be paid to the different sources of directedness in culturally evolving systems and their consequences. What is Cultural Evolution?

BELIEF-LIKE IMAGINING AND CORRECTNESS 信念般的想象和正确性

Alon Chasid
This paper explores the sense in which correctness applies to belief-like imaginings. It begins by establishing that when we imagine, we ‘direct’ our imaginings at a certain imaginary world, taking the propositions we imagine to be assessed for truth in that world. It then examines the relation between belief-like imagining and positing truths in an imaginary world. Rejecting the claim that correctness, in the literal sense, is applicable to imaginings, it shows that the imaginer takes on, vis-à-vis the imaginary world, the first-person perspective of a believer. Imaginings, it concludes, ‘mimic’ beliefs with respect to the property of being correct or incorrect by virtue of having true or false content.
本文探讨了正确性适用于类信仰想象的意义。它首先确立,当我们想象时,我们把我们的想象“指向”一个特定的想象世界,把我们想象的命题在那个世界中被评估为真理。然后,它探讨了在一个想象的世界里,类似信念的想象和假设真理之间的关系。否定了字面意义上的正确适用于想象的说法,它表明,想象者在-à-vis想象世界中,以信徒的第一人称视角。它的结论是,想象“模仿”了信念关于正确或不正确的属性,通过拥有真实或虚假的内容。
