Permissivism and the arbitrariness objection
Permissivism says that for some propositions and bodies of evidence, there is more than one rationally permissible doxastic attitude that can be taken towards that proposition given the evidence. Some critics of this view argue that it condones, as rationally acceptable, sets of attitudes that manifest an untenable kind of arbitrariness. I begin by providing a new and more detailed explication ...
متن کاملArbitrariness, Iconicity, and Systematicity in Language.
The notion that the form of a word bears an arbitrary relation to its meaning accounts only partly for the attested relations between form and meaning in the languages of the world. Recent research suggests a more textured view of vocabulary structure, in which arbitrariness is complemented by iconicity (aspects of form resemble aspects of meaning) and systematicity (statistical regularities in...
متن کاملThe arbitrariness and normativity of social conventions.
This paper investigates a puzzling feature of social conventions: the fact that they are both arbitrary and normative. We examine how this tension is addressed in sociological accounts of conventional phenomena. Traditional approaches tend to generate either synchronic accounts that fail to consider the arbitrariness of conventions, or diachronic accounts that miss central aspects of their norm...
متن کاملArbitrariness of the General Solution and Symmetries
The computation of the number of arbitrary functions in the general solution is brieey reviewed. The results are used to study normal systems and their symmetry reduction. We discuss the treatment of gauge systems, especially the analysis of gauge xing conditions. As examples the Yang-Mills equations with the Lorentz gauge and Einstein's vacuum eld equations with harmonic coordinates are consid...
متن کاملIconicity and Arbitrariness in Italian Sign Language
T studies recognizing sign languages as full-fledged languages (Stokoe ; Klima and Bellugi ) were undertaken while the formal linguistic paradigm was evolving. Within the formal linguistics framework it was assumed that what distinguishes language is that it is generated—independently from every interaction with other cognitive activity—by a separate part of the brain. If this i...
