1 Desire beyond Belief
David Lewis [1988, 1996] canvases an anti-Humean thesis about mental states: that the rational agent desires something to the extent that he or she believes it to be good. Lewis offers and refutes a decision-theoretic formulation of it, the ‘Desire-as-Belief Thesis’. Other authors have since added further negative results in the spirit of Lewis’. We explore ways of being antiHumean that evade a...
متن کاملHertz beyond belief.
We examine the validity of Hertz's linear elastic theory for central collisions of spheres using a viscoelastic model. This model explains why Hertz's theory is accurate in predicting the collision time and maximum contact area even when 40% of the kinetic energy is lost due to viscous dissipation. The main reason is that both the collision time and maximum contact area have a very weak depende...
متن کاملComments on Belief and Beyond
In their paper “Belief and Beyond: Toward a New Orientation in Epistemology”[2] Bandyopadhyay and Taper argue that this century’s epistemological tradition has emphasized only the concept of belief and paid insufficient attention to the notion of evidence. In particular they argue that evidence is a conceptually distinct concept from that of belief and thus conflating the notions of belief and ...
متن کاملBeyond Belief: How Implicit Beliefs Influence Trust
We demonstrate that implicit beliefs influence trust. In an experiment, we induced one of two types of implicit beliefs: entity beliefs about negotiation ability (a belief that negotiation ability is fixed over time), and incremental beliefs about negotiation ability (a belief that negotiation ability can change over time). We find that people induced with entity beliefs maintain trust in their...
متن کاملBelief Propagation and Beyond for Particle Tracking
We describe a novel approach to statistical learning from particles tracked while moving in a random environment. The problem consists in inferring properties of the environment from recorded snapshots. We consider here the case of a fluid seeded with identical passive particles that diffuse and are advected by a flow. Our approach rests on efficient algorithms to estimate the weighted number o...
