Reasoning beyond belief acquisition

چکیده
I argue that we can reason not only to new beliefs but basically any change in attitude think of, including the abandonment of belief (contra John Broome), acquisition non-belief attitudes like relief and admiration, elimination same. To for this position, which call generalism, defend a sufficient condition on reasoning, roughly is expressed by conclusion an argument be convinced by. then produce examples such arguments, they are indeed arguments. non-doxastic attitudes, develop idea state attitudinal constraint acceptance, show how it useful solving problem, other parts philosophy as well.

False belief reasoning and the acquisition of relative clause sentences.
Perner (1991) has claimed that the linguistic structures and reasoning tasks mastered by 4-year-olds share a requirement to handle metarepresentation. In contrast, de Villiers (2000) has argued that they share a requirement to handle misrepresentation. In the current study, a correlation is observed between success on false belief tasks and the acquisition of relative clause sentences. This cor...
متن کاملIs belief reasoning automatic?
Understanding the operating characteristics of theory of mind is essential for understanding how beliefs, desires, and other mental states are inferred, and for understanding the role such inferences could play in other cognitive processes. We present the first investigation of the automaticity of belief reasoning. In an incidental false-belief task, adult subjects responded more slowly to unex...
متن کاملDefault Reasoning and Belief
As an important variant of Reiter's default logic, Poole (1988) developed a nonmonotonic reasoning framework in the classical rst-order language. Brewka and Nebel extended Poole's approach in order to enable a representation of priorities between defaults. In this paper we present a general framework for default reasoning, which can be viewed as a common generalization of the three approaches a...
متن کامل1 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...
