Is Intentional Ascription Intrinsically Normative?
In a short article called “Mid-Term Examination: Compare and Contrast” that epitomizes and concludes his book The Intentional Stance, D. C. Dennett (1987) provides a sketch of what he views as an emerging Interpretivist consensus in the philosophy of mind. The gist is that Brentano’s thesis is true (the intentional is irreducible to the physical) and that it follows from the truth of Brentano’s...
متن کاملNormative Judgments, 'Deep Self ' Judgments, and Intentional Action
Sripada and Konrath (forthcoming) use Structural Equation Modeling techniques to provide empirical evidence for the claim that implicit and automatic inferences about people’s dispositions, and not normative judgments, are the driving cause behind the pattern of folk judgments of intentional action in Knobe’s (2003a) chairman case. However, I will argue that their evidence is not as strong as t...
متن کاملIntrinsic Value and the Supervenience
An important, and popular, constraint on the nature of intrinsic value—the “Supervenience Principle” (SP)—holds that some object, event, or state of affairs φ is intrinsically valuable only if the value of φ supervenes entirely on φ’s intrinsic properties.1 To deny SP is to accept that an object, state, or event φ can be intrinsically valuable in a way that is explained at least in part by its ...
متن کاملSupervenience and Infinitary Logic
The discussion of supervenience is replete with the use of infinitary logical operations. For instance, one may often find a supervenient property that corresponds to an infinite collection of supervenience-base properties, and then ask about the infinite disjunction of all those base properties. This is crucial to a well-known argument of Kim (1984) that supervenience comes nearer to reduction...
متن کاملSupervenience and neuroscience
The philosophical technical term “supervenience” is frequently used in the philosophy of mind as a concise way of characterizing the core idea of physicalism in a manner that is neutral with respect to debates between reductive physicalists and nonreductive physicalists. I argue against this alleged neutrality and side with reductive physicalists. I am especially interested here in debates betw...
