Advocacy and the function of folk psychology
Mind &Language, EarlyView.Why do we care about getting mental state attributions right? A common answer is that folk psychology is a proto‐scientific theory that allows us to predict and explain the behavior of physical systems. I argue that this position is inconsistent with one of the central practices in which attribution of desire occurs: to advocate for our interests and ...

Journal of Logic and Computation, 2018 Cariani (Ought and resolution semantics) has proposed a semantics for ought that combines two features: (i) it invalidates Inheritance, i.e. the inference from ought to ought whenever is logically weaker than , and it does so in a principled manner; (ii) it allows for coarseness, which means that ought can be true even if there are specific ways of ...

A Scale for Mixed Reasons for Belief
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Epistemic reasons matter for what you should believe. But then, some think there are practical reasons that matter, too. How could both sorts of reasons be weighed together to determine the doxastic states you ought to hold, all things considered?

Quantifiers for a Modal Future
Philosophical Perspectives, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Future auxiliaries present a challenge to the classical analysis of modal expressions as existential or universal quantifiers over a contextually provided set of possible worlds: these expressions come with a distinct modal flavor, but their interaction with negation and the fact that future judgments come in degrees of confidence is ...

Ratio, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In bioethics, two sorts of normative categories are commonly used. These can be split into two families: the deontic categories, such as ‘right’, ‘ought to’ and ‘requirement’, and the evaluative categories, including ‘good’, ‘bad’, ‘better than’ and ‘the best’. While other normative concepts such as ‘virtue’ and ‘vice’ have also been discussed,

Automated Reasoning over Deontic Action Logics with Finite Vocabularies [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2014 In this paper we investigate further the tableaux system for a deontic action logic we presented in previous work. This tableaux system uses atoms (of a given boolean algebra of action terms) as labels of formulae, this allows us to embrace parallel ...

Deontic Redundancy: A Fundamental Challenge for Deontic Logic [PDF]
, 2010 To decide which norms can be removed from a system, we need to know when a norm is redundant. After shifting the focus of attention in deontic logic from detachment of obligations and permissions to deontic redundancy, I discuss in this paper five benchmark examples of deontic redundancy in reasoning about permissions, intermediate concepts and ...
