Abstract:

This chapter argues that if normative predicates ascribe descriptive properties, there must be something that makes it the case that a certain normative predicate ascribes a certain descriptive property. It then considers three assumptions that reductive realists could make about what makes this the case. It argues that if they make the first assumption, their view runs into the false guarantee objection. It argues that if they make the second assumption, their view runs into the regress objection. And it argues that if reductive realists make the third assumption, this returns them to the choice between the first two assumptions. The chapter concludes that if there are normative properties, these properties are not identical to descriptive properties.

Full text

Abstract:

False symptom claims and distorted symptom presentations are not at all rare in civil and criminal forensic cases where secondary gain is immanent. They reach from reported nonspecific memory and attention problems to intellectual disability, full-blown autobiographical memory loss, or crime-related amnesia. Symptom validity assessment has, to a large extent, been developed by clinical neuropsychologists to distinguish between authentic and nonauthentic symptom presentations. Malingering is only one of several manifestations of uncooperativeness. Today, most forensic neuropsychology experts would agree that neuropsychological testing is incomplete if not adequately checked for possible negative distortions. This chapter reviews modern methods of symptom validation, with emphasis on forced-choice response formats.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter argues that there is a moral asymmetry between lying and intentionally misleading. In particular, it is argued that ethical rules against asserting what one believes to be false with the intention to deceive the listener should be stronger than rules against asserting what one believes to be true with the intention that, as a result, the hearer infers, and comes to believe, something one believes to be false. In the latter case the speaker chooses to mislead, rather than to outright lie, and thereby takes on an additional cognitive burden in generating her utterance. This makes it possible to see the choice to avoid lying by merely misleading as an expression of an intention to respect a norm of truthfulness, as well as the hearer’s interests.

Full text

Abstract:

If knowledge is sensitive to practical stakes, then whether one knows depends in part on the practical costs of being wrong. When considering religious belief, the practical costs of being wrong about theism may differ dramatically between the theist (if there is no God) and the atheist (if there is a God). This chapter explores the prospects, on pragmatic encroachment, for knowledge of theism (even if true), and of atheism (even if true), given two types of practical costs: namely, by holding a false belief, or by missing out on a true belief. These considerations set up a more general puzzle of epistemic preference when faced with the choice between two beliefs, only one of which could become knowledge.

Full text

Abstract:

A countably infinite fair lottery has tickets numbered 1, 2, 3, …, all of them on par. Many paradoxes arise from such lotteries. For instance, if two people get tickets from such a lottery, each will be nearly certain that the other’s ticket has a bigger number. And it will turn out that it would be possible to use an infinite lottery to manipulate a rational agent to believe empirical claims that on their evidence are extremely unlikely. It is then argued that if causal finitism is false, then such lotteries are possible, though one of the arguments has a lacuna involving the Axiom of Choice that will need to be filled in Chapter 6. The net conclusion of the chapter is that the absurdities ensuing fromsuch lotteries are further evidence that causal finitism is true, though an alternate story involving limitations of our rational faculties is also discussed.

Full text

Abstract:

In its original meaning, the word ‘rational’ referred to the faculty of reason—the capacity for reasoning. It is undeniable that the word later came also to express a normative concept—the concept of the proper use of this faculty. Does it express a normative concept when it is used in formal theories of rational belief or rational choice? Reasons are given for concluding that it does express a normative concept in these contexts. But this conclusion seems to imply that we ought always to think rationally. Four objections can be raised. (1) What about cases where thinking rationally has disastrous consequences? (2) What about cases where we have rational false beliefs about what we ought to do? (3) ‘Ought’ implies ‘can’—but is it true that we can always think rationally? (4) Rationality requires nothing more than coherence—but why does coherence matter?

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter provides an overview of the historical development of private international law as well as current theories on the subject. It first traces the early history and later development of private international law in England before discussing the varied approaches to private international law in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. In particular, it considers the theory of vested or acquired rights, local law theory, and the American revolution. Two general approaches common to most of the ‘revolutionaries’ are highlighted: the first is rule selection or jurisdiction selection, and the second is true and false conflicts. There are several rule-selection techniques such as governmental interest analysis approach, the comparative impairment approach, principles of preference, interpretation of forum policy, and choice of law factors. The chapter also examines the Europeanisation of private international law and concludes with an assessment of the theoretical or doctrinal basis of English private international law.

Full text

Abstract:

At each stage of inquiry, actions, choices, and judgments carry with them a chance that they will lead to mistakes and false conclusions. One of the most vigorously discussed kinds of epistemic risk is inductive risk—that is, the risk of inferring a false positive or a false negative from statistical evidence. This chapter develops a more fine-grained typology of epistemic risks and argues that many of the epistemic risks that have been classified as inductive risks are actually better seen as examples of a more expansive category, which this paper dubs “phronetic risk.” This more fine-grained typology helps to show that values in science often operate not exclusively at the level of individual psychologies but also at the level of knowledge-generating social institutions.

Full text

Abstract:

This book concerns young, class-privileged women in the Nigerian city of Lagos who dress in a “spectacularly feminine” style characterised by the extravagant use and combination of normatively feminine technologies of dress: cascading hair extensions, false eyelashes and nails, heavy and immaculate makeup, and so on. Based on interviews with such stylized women, the book offers a critical consideration of the kinds of feminine subjectivities that they are performing and desiring. Tracing the repertoires of individualist choice, pleasure, entitlement and “can do” that run through the women’s talk, it argues that they subscribe passionately to the notion, or what the book frames more specifically as the “postfeminist promise,” that immaculate and spectacularized feminine beauty now constitutes and signals feminine power. Seeing themselves as “already empowered,” then, what the women do not see is the need for cultural critique, nor for feminism in the form of collective political struggle. The first book on postfeminism both as a cultural formation in the global South and as it interpellates black women, the work offers a groundbreaking new understanding of the culture as performative and transnationally mobile, and a richly theorised account of how women live, embody, and to some extent suffer it, in the flesh.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter argues that in many situations in which you shouldn’t engage open-mindedly with salient counterarguments, you shouldn’t engage closed-mindedly, either. Closed-minded engagement can give credibility to views you know are false, demeaning, or dangerous. Furthermore, in many cases in which you are closed-minded toward a counterargument, if you engage you have to take either of two risky choices. Either you honestly represent your attitudes (as in the activist strategy known as “Nonviolent Communication”), in which case you run the risk of being ineffective. Or you risk being a “concern troll”: you fail to honestly represent yourself as closed-minded (as in the activist strategy employed by the “Listening Project”). In that case you run the risk of problematically exploiting misconceptions your interlocutors have about you in order to get them to change their attitudes. In many situations, this precludes the permissibility of closed-minded engagement.

Smith, Holly M. Making Morality Work. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199560080.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

Moral theories can play both a theoretical and a practical role. As theories, they provide accounts of which features make actions right or wrong. In practice, they provide standards by which we guide our choices. Regrettably, limits on human knowledge often prevent people from using traditional moral theories to make decisions. Decision makers labor under false beliefs, or they are ignorant or uncertain about the circumstances and consequences of their possible actions. An agent so hampered cannot successfully use her chosen moral theory as a decision-guide. This book examines three major strategies for addressing this “epistemic problem” in morality. One strategy argues that the epistemic limitations of agents are defects in them but not in the moral theories, which are only required to play the theoretical role. A second strategy holds that the main or sole point of morality is to play the practical role, so that any theory incapable of guiding decisions must be rejected in favor of a more usable theory. The third strategy claims the correct theory can play both the theoretical and practical role through a two-tier structure. The top tier plays the theoretical role, while the lower tier provides a coordinated set of user-friendly decision-guides to provide practical guidance. Agents use the theoretical account indirectly to guide their choices by directly utilizing the supplementary decision-guides.Making Morality Work argues that the first two strategies should be rejected, and develops an innovative version of the third strategy.

Full text

Abstract:

Bringing together three international law scholars, this book addresses how international law and its regimes of trade, investment, finance, and human rights promote poverty, inequality, and dispossession. It addresses how international law is implicated in the construction of misery; how it is producing, reproducing, and embedding injustice and narrowing the alternatives that might really serve humanity. Adopting a pluralist approach, this work confronts unconscionable dimensions of the global economic order, the false premises upon which they are built, and the role of international law in constituting and sustaining them. Combining insights from radical critiques, political philosophy, history, and critical development studies, the book explores the pathologies at work in international economic law today. It challenges conventional justifications of economic globalization and eschews false choices. It is not about whether one is ‘for’ or ‘against’ international trade, foreign investment, or global finance. The issue is to resolve how, if we are to engage in trade, investment, and finance, we do so in a manner that is accountable to persons whose lives are affected by international law. The deployment of human rights for their part must be considered against the ubiquity of neoliberal globalization under law, and not merely as a discrete, benevolent response to it. Before we can understand how human rights can create more just societies, we must first expose the ways in which they reflect capitalist society and how they assist in reproducing the underlying terms of immiseration that will continue to create the need for human rights protection. This is a book of critique and not of prescription, but among its aims is to compel the reader to think beyond existing assumptions and structures to usher in the possibility of reconstituting the brutal world, if international law can be made to accommodate that undertaking.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter empirically investigates “the Hobbesian hypothesis” (the claim that everyone is better off in a state society with a private property system than they could reasonably expect to be in any society without either of those institutions). It does so in two ways: first, it makes ad hoc qualitative comparisons of the lives of disadvantaged people in capitalist state societies with people in observed, small-scale stateless societies in terms of social and cultural satisfaction, material wellbeing, the availability of luxuries, leisure and work effort, basic needs, health and longevity, and freedom. Second, it assesses actions and expressed preferences of people with the opportunity to choose either lifestyle. Although evidence indicates that the average person tends to be better off in most contemporary state societies, the concludes the hypothesis is false. Contemporary states allow so much inequality—with a bottom so low in absolute terms—that significant numbers of their citizens are worse off than people in a small-scale stateless societies.
