Abstract Indispensability arguments are among the strongest arguments in support of mathematical realism. Given the controversial nature of their conclusions, it is not surprising that critics have supplied a number of rejoinders to these arguments. In this paper, I focus on one such rejoinder, Melia’s ‘Weasel Response’. The weasel is someone who accepts that scientific theories imply that there are mathematical objects, but then proceeds to ‘take back’ this commitment. While weaseling seems improper, accounts supplied in the literature have failed to explain why. Drawing on examples of weaseling in more mundane contexts, I develop an account of the presumption against weaseling as grounded in a misalignment between two types of commitments. This is good news to the weasel’s opponents. It reinforces that they were right to question the legitimacy of weaseling. This account is also beneficial to the weasel. Uncovering the source of the presumption against weaseling also serves to draw out the challenge that the weasel must meet to override this presumption—what is required to be an ‘honest weasel’.
不可或缺性论证是支持数学实在论的最有力的论证之一。鉴于他们的结论具有争议性,批评家们对这些论点提出了许多反驳也就不足为奇了。在本文中,我将重点讨论一个这样的反驳,即梅利亚的“黄鼠狼回应”。黄鼠狼是指接受科学理论暗示存在数学对象,但随后又“收回”这一承诺的人。虽然逃避似乎不合适,但文献中提供的描述未能解释其中的原因。通过在更平凡的环境中使用鼬鼠行为的例子,我提出了一种反对鼬鼠行为的假设,这种假设是基于两种类型的行为之间的不一致。这对黄鼠狼的对手来说是个好消息。这进一步证明,他们质疑“黄鼠狼”的合法性是正确的。这种说法对黄鼠狼也是有利的。揭示反对黄鼠狼的假设的来源也有助于引出黄鼠狼必须面对的挑战,以推翻这一假设——成为“诚实的黄鼠狼”所需要的条件。

Human Plight, Kantian as if, and Public Reasons in Korsgaard’s Moral Theory 人类的困境,康德的仿佛,以及科斯加德道德理论中的公共理性

Abstract The conception of two kinds of practical identities, which Korsgaard introduces in the Sources of Normativity, helps her explain how universal categorical reasoning is compatible with the moral content of individual practical decisions. Based on this conception, she devises an interpretation of the Kantian as if principle amended by her argument for the public shareability of reasons. I suggest that, in doing so, Korsgaard steps too far away from Kant’s architectonic approach to the question of why moral norms bind us, and that, as a result, the Korsgaardian explanation, as it stands, cannot be accomplished.
科斯加德在《规范性的来源》中提出了两种实践身份的概念,这有助于她解释普遍直言推理如何与个人实践决策的道德内容相容。基于这一概念,她设计了一种对康德似然原则的解释,并通过她对理性的公共可共享性的论证进行了修正。我认为,在这样做的过程中,科斯加德偏离了康德关于道德规范为什么束缚我们的问题的架构方法,因此,科斯加德的解释,就其现状而言,是无法完成的。

How Friendship doesn’t Contribute to Happiness: A Reply to Leibowitz 友谊为何不能带来幸福:对莱博维茨的回复

Abstract Friendship and happiness are intimately connected. According to a recent account provided in Leibowitz (2018) friendship contributes to happiness because friends value each other and communicate this valuation to each other, which increases their self-worth, and this in turn increases their happiness. In this paper I argue that Leibowitz’s account of how friendship contributes to happiness is mistaken. I first present Leibowitz’s view, and then argue against it. I have two main worries with his account. One worry is that increase in self-worth is not characteristic of friendship and hence it is problematic to use it for explaining the connection between friendship and happiness. The other worry is that the distinctive way in which increase in self-worth contributes to happiness seems to be in an important way different from the distinctive way in which friendship contributes to happiness. Finally, I point to what I take to be the right direction in explaining the connection between friendship and happiness.
友谊和幸福紧密相连。根据莱博维茨(2018)最近提供的一项研究,友谊有助于幸福,因为朋友们相互重视并相互交流这种评价,这增加了他们的自我价值,这反过来又增加了他们的幸福。在本文中,我认为莱博维茨关于友谊如何促进幸福的说法是错误的。我首先提出莱博维茨的观点,然后反驳它。我对他的叙述有两点担心。一种担忧是,自我价值的增加并不是友谊的特征,因此用它来解释友谊和幸福之间的联系是有问题的。另一种担忧是,自我价值的增加对幸福的贡献的独特方式似乎与友谊对幸福的贡献的独特方式有很大的不同。最后,我指出了我认为是正确的方向来解释友谊和幸福之间的联系。

Frege’s Puzzle and Cognitive Relationism: An Essay on Mental Files and Coordination 弗雷格的谜题与认知关系主义:论心理档案与协调
IF 0.1 Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-05-01 DOI: 10.2478/disp-2020-0001
P. Bonardi
Abstract This paper will critically examine two solutions to Frege’s puzzle: the Millian-Russellian solution proposed by Salmon and Braun, which invokes non-semantic modes of presentation (guises, ways of believing or the like); and Fine’s relationalist solution, which appeals to semantic coordination. Special attention will be devoted to discussing the conception of modes of presentation as mental files and to elucidating the nature of coordination. A third solution to Frege’s puzzle will be explored which, like Salmon’s and Braun’s, adopts the Millian-Russellian semantics but, like Fine’s, involves coordination instead of modes of presentation; however, coordination will not be conceived as a semantic relation but as a cognitive and subjective relation, which provides no contribution to semantic content. This novel Millian-Russellian account involving cognitive coordination will be labelled cognitive relationism.
本文将批判性地考察弗雷格谜题的两种解决方案:由Salmon和Braun提出的Millian-Russellian解决方案,它调用了非语义的呈现模式(伪装、相信方式或类似的方式);以及Fine的关系主义解决方案,它呼吁语义协调。将特别注意讨论作为心理档案的呈现模式的概念,并阐明协调的本质。我们将探讨弗雷格难题的第三种解决方案,它与萨尔蒙和布劳恩的解决方案一样,采用米利安-罗素语义学,但与法恩的解决方案一样,涉及协调而不是呈现模式;然而,协调性不会被理解为一种语义关系,而是一种认知和主观的关系,它对语义内容没有贡献。这种涉及认知协调的米利安-罗素式的新颖解释将被称为认知关系主义。

Do Plants Feel Pain? 植物会感到疼痛吗?

Abstract Many people are attracted to the idea that plants experience phenomenal conscious states like pain, sensory awareness, or emotions like fear. If true, this would have wide-ranging moral implications for human behavior, including land development, farming, vegetarianism, and more. Determining whether plants have minds relies on the work of both empirical disciplines and philosophy. Epistemology should settle the standards for evidence of other minds, and science should inform our judgment about whether any plants meet those standards. We argue that evidence for other minds comes either from testimony, behavior, anatomy/physiology, or phylogeny. However, none of these provide evidence that plants have conscious mental states. Therefore, we conclude that there is no evidence that plants have minds in the sense relevant for morality.
许多人都被这样一种观点所吸引,即植物会经历痛苦、感官意识或恐惧等显著的意识状态。如果这是真的,这将对人类行为产生广泛的道德影响,包括土地开发、农业、素食主义等等。确定植物是否有思想依赖于经验学科和哲学的工作。认识论应该为其他思想的证据确定标准,科学应该告诉我们是否有植物符合这些标准。我们认为,其他思想的证据要么来自证词,行为,解剖学/生理学,或系统发育。然而,这些都不能证明植物有有意识的精神状态。因此,我们得出结论,没有证据表明植物具有与道德相关的思想。

Virtual Reality: Fictional all the Way Down (and that’s OK) 虚拟现实:完全是虚构的(这没关系)

Jesper Juul
Abstract Are virtual objects real? I will claim that the question sets us up for the wrong type of conclusion: Chalmers (2017) argues that a virtual calculator (like other entities) is a real calculator when it is “organizationally invariant” with its non-virtual counterpart—when it performs calculation. However, virtual reality and games are defined by the fact that they always selectively implement their source material. Even the most detailed virtual car will still have an infinite range of details which are missing (gas, engines, pistons, fuel, chemical reactions, molecules, atoms). This means that even the most detailed virtual object will still have fictional aspects. Rather than argue that virtual objects are, or aren’t, real, it is preferable to think of overlaps and continuities between the fictional and the real, where even the most painstakingly detailed virtual reality implementation of a non-virtual object is still art: a human process of selection and interpretation. Virtual reality should therefore not be philosophically understood just as a technological implementation on a trajectory to perfection, but as a cultural artifact which derives its value in part from its simplification and difference from its source material.
虚拟对象是真实的吗?我认为这个问题让我们得出了错误的结论:Chalmers(2017)认为,当虚拟计算器与非虚拟计算器执行计算时,当它与非虚拟计算器“组织不变”时,虚拟计算器(与其他实体一样)才是真正的计算器。然而,虚拟现实和游戏的定义是它们总是选择性地执行它们的原始材料。即使是最精细的虚拟汽车也会有无数缺失的细节(汽油、发动机、活塞、燃料、化学反应、分子、原子)。这意味着即使是最详细的虚拟对象也会有虚构的方面。与其争论虚拟物体是真实的还是不真实的,不如考虑虚拟和真实之间的重叠和连续性,即使是最精心设计的非虚拟物体的虚拟现实实现仍然是艺术:一种人类选择和解释的过程。因此,从哲学上讲,虚拟现实不应该仅仅被理解为一种走向完美的技术实现,而是一种文化产物,其价值部分来自于它与原始材料的简化和差异。

Reference in Fiction 小说中的参考文献

Abstract Most discussions of proper names in fiction concern the names of fictional characters, such as ‘Clarissa Dalloway’ or ‘Lilliput.’ Less attention has been paid to referring names in fiction, such as ‘Napoleon’ (in Tolstoy’s War and Peace) or ‘London’ (in Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four). This is because many philosophers simply assume that such names are unproblematic; they refer in the usual way to their ordinary referents. The alternative position, dubbed Exceptionalism by Manuel García-Carpintero, maintains that referring names make a distinctive semantic contribution in fiction. In this paper I offer a positive argument for Non-Exceptionalism, relying on the claim that works of both fiction and non-fiction can express the same singular propositions. I go on to defend my account against García-Carpintero’s objections.
关于小说中专有名称的讨论大多涉及虚构人物的名字,如“克拉丽莎·达洛维”或“利力浦特”。人们很少注意小说中的人名,比如托尔斯泰的《战争与和平》中的“拿破仑”或奥威尔的《一九八四》中的“伦敦”。这是因为许多哲学家简单地认为这些名字是没有问题的;它们以通常的方式指向它们的普通所指物。另一种观点,被曼纽尔García-Carpintero称为例外主义,认为人名在小说中有独特的语义贡献。在本文中,我为非例外论提供了一个积极的论证,它依赖于小说和非小说作品都可以表达相同的单一命题的主张。针对García-Carpintero的反对意见,我继续为我的陈述辩护。

Singular Reference in Fictional Discourse? 虚构话语中的单数指称?
IF 0.1 Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2019-12-01 DOI: 10.2478/disp-2019-0015
M. García‐Carpintero
Abstract Singular terms used in fictions for fictional characters raise well-known philosophical issues, explored in depth in the literature. But philosophers typically assume that names already in use to refer to “moderatesized specimens of dry goods” cause no special problem when occurring in fictions, behaving there as they ordinarily do in straightforward assertions. In this paper I continue a debate with Stacie Friend, arguing against this for the exceptionalist view that names of real entities in fictional discourse don’t work there as they do in simple-sentence assertions, but rather as fictional names do.
小说中对虚构人物使用的单数术语引发了众所周知的哲学问题,在文学中得到了深入的探讨。但哲学家们通常认为,已经用来指代“适度的干货样本”的名称在小说中出现时不会引起特别的问题,它们的行为就像它们通常在直截了当的断言中所做的那样。在这篇论文中,我继续与Stacie Friend进行辩论,反对这种例外主义观点,即虚构话语中真实实体的名字并不像在简单句子断言中那样起作用,而是像虚构的名字一样起作用。

Fictional Content 虚构的内容

E. Paganini
Abstract It is usually taken for granted that a necessary condition for knowing that P is the truth of P. It may therefore be claimed that if we assume that we gain some kind of knowledge through fiction (let us call it fictional knowledge) of P*, then P* should be true—in at least a certain sense. My hypothesis is that this assumption grounds the different ways adopted by philosophers for attributing truth-conditions to fictional sentences. My claim in this work is that fictional sentences do not have truth-values and truth-conditions, but I want to maintain that we gain some kind of knowledge through fiction: to this aim, I will characterize the objective content of fictional sentences not in terms of truth-conditions (which are usually described by appealing to rules of the language or rules of interpretation of language independent of the actual users), but in dispositional terms and I will define a necessary condition for fictional knowledge accordingly.
人们通常想当然地认为,认识P是P的真理的必要条件。因此,我们可以断言,如果我们假定我们通过P*的虚构(姑且称之为虚构的知识)获得了某种知识,那么P*至少在某种意义上应该是真的。我的假设是,这一假设为哲学家们将真实条件归因于虚构句子的不同方式奠定了基础。我在这项工作中的主张是,虚构的句子没有真值和真条件,但我想坚持认为,我们通过虚构获得了某种知识:为了达到这个目的,我将不根据真实条件(通常通过诉诸语言规则或独立于实际使用者的语言解释规则来描述)来描述虚构句子的客观内容,而是根据性格条件,并相应地定义虚构知识的必要条件。

Abstract What is the status of a cat in a virtual reality environment? Is it a real object? Or part of a fiction? Virtual realism, as defended by D. J. Chalmers, takes it to be a virtual object that really exists, that has properties and is involved in real events. His preferred specification of virtual realism identifies the cat with a digital object. The project of this paper is to use a comparison between virtual reality environments and scientific computer simulations to critically engage with Chalmers’s position. I first argue that, if it is sound, his virtual realism should also be applied to objects that figure in scientific computer simulations, e.g. to simulated galaxies. This leads to a slippery slope because it implies an unreasonable proliferation of digital objects. A philosophical analysis of scientific computer simulations suggests an alternative picture: The cat and the galaxies are parts of fictional models for which the computer provides model descriptions. This result motivates a deeper analysis of the way in which Chalmers builds up his realism. I argue that he buys realism too cheap. For instance, he does not really specify what virtual objects are supposed to be. As a result, rhetoric aside, his virtual realism isn’t far from a sort of fictionalism.
猫在虚拟现实环境中的地位是什么?它是一个真实的物体吗?还是小说的一部分?正如D. J. Chalmers所捍卫的,虚拟现实主义将其视为真实存在的虚拟物体,具有属性并与真实事件有关。他首选的虚拟现实主义规范是用数字对象来识别猫。本文的项目是使用虚拟现实环境和科学计算机模拟之间的比较来批判性地参与Chalmers的立场。我首先认为,如果它是合理的,那么他的虚拟现实主义也应该应用于科学计算机模拟中的对象,例如模拟星系。这导致了滑坡效应,因为这意味着数字对象的不合理扩散。对科学计算机模拟的哲学分析提出了另一种情况:猫和星系是计算机提供模型描述的虚构模型的一部分。这一结果促使人们对查尔默斯构建现实主义的方式进行更深入的分析。我认为他把现实主义买得太便宜了。例如,他并没有具体说明虚拟对象应该是什么。因此,撇开修辞不谈,他的虚拟现实主义与虚构主义相差不远。
