Explaining Away Incompatibilist Intuitions
The debate between compatibilists and incompatibilists depends in large part on what ordinary people mean by ‘free will’, a matter on which previous experimental philosophy studies have yielded conflicting results. In Nahmias, Morris, Nadelhoffer, and Turner (2005, 2006), most participants judged that agents in deterministic scenarios could have free will and be morally responsible. Nichols and...
متن کاملExplaining 'Explaining Away'
Explaining away is a common pattern of reasoning in which the connrma-tion of one cause of an observed or believed event reduces the need to invoke alternative causes. The opposite of explaining away also can occur, in which the connrmation of one cause increases belief in another. We provide a general qualitative probabilistic analysis of intercausal reasoning, and identify the property of the...
متن کاملExplaining Away in Weight Space
Explaining away has mostly been considered in terms of inference of states in belief networks. We show how it can also arise in a Bayesian context in inference about the weights governing relationships such as those between stimuli and reinforcers in conditioning experiments such as backward blocking. We show how explaining away in weight space can be accounted for using an extension of a Kalma...
متن کاملExplaining default intuitions using maximum entropy
While research into default reasoning is extensive and many default intuitions are commonly held, no one system has yet captured all these intuitions nor given a formal account to motivate them. This paper argues that the extended maximum entropy approach which incorporates variable strength defaults provides a benchmark for default reasoning that is not only objectively motivated but also sati...
متن کاملExplaining Away: A Model of Affective Adaptation.
We propose a model of affective adaptation, the processes whereby affective responses weaken after one or more exposures to emotional events. Drawing on previous research, our approach, represented by the acronym AREA, holds that people attend to self-relevant, unexplained events, react emotionally to these events, explain or reach an understanding of the events, and thereby adapt to the events...
