...Tyler Burge A central preoccupation of philosophy in the twentieth century was to determine constitutive conditions under which accurate (objective) empirical representation of the macrophysical environment is possible. A view that dominated attitudes on this project maintained that an individual...

...Jason Konek Sarah Moss (2013) argues that degrees of belief, or credences, can amount to knowledge in much the way that full beliefs can. This essay explores a new kind of objective Bayesianism designed to take us some way toward securing such knowledge-constituting credences, or “probabilistic...

... defending a new Attitudinal-Representational Theory of perceptual valence, according to which perceptual valence is constituted by first-order conative attitudes directed toward the representational objects of experiences. Just as important for supporting the notion of intrinsic visual valence...

... of an agent’s action unless there is a lawlike relation between maxims of that kind and actions of that kind. The special capacity to act according to maxims as lawlike causes is what Kant calls a will ; the basic constitutive principle of the will is a nonnormative principle this article calls the categorical...

...Michael LeBuffe Spinoza's remarks about consciousness in the Ethics constitute two theories about conscious experience and knowledge. Several remarks, including 3p9 and 4p8, make the point that self knowledge—an especially valuable good for Spinoza—is not available to introspection. We...

...Matthew Kotzen This essay addresses the question of when evidence for a stronger claim H1 also constitutes evidence for a weaker claim H2. Although the answer “Always” is tempting, it is false on a natural Bayesian conception of evidence. This essay first describes some prima facie counterexamples...

...Seth Shabo In his seminal essay “Freedom and Resentment,” P. F. Strawson drew attention to the role of such emotions as resentment, moral indignation, and guilt in our moral and personal lives. According to Strawson, these reactive attitudes are at once constitutive of moral blame and inseparable...

...Sarah Moss This paper argues that just as full beliefs can constitute knowledge, so can properties of your credence distribution. The resulting notion of probabilistic knowledge helps us give a natural account of knowledge ascriptions embedding language of subjective uncertainty, and a simple...

... the latter constitutively play the functional role of explaining what state one just plain ought to be in. The authors conjecture that all and only practical reasons are authoritative. Hence, in one important sense, all reasons for belief are practical reasons. But this account also preserves the autonomy...

Lieberman defends it by arguing against two alternative views according to which commitments are constituted by desires: a view inspired by Frankfurt that commitments are constituted by second- order desires, and a view taken from Velleman that commitments...

..., and are liable to unravel once spotted. This suggests a connection between coherence and the metaphysics of attitudes: “a set of attitudinal mental states is jointly incoherent iff it is (partially) constitutive of (at least some of) the states in the set that any agent who holds this set of states has...

... on Socratic capacities. In the end, Benson does not seem to mind all that much if we withhold the title of “epistemologist” (6). He seems most concerned that readers of Plato’s Socratic dialogues recognize the power of a cluster of related Socratic commit- ments to constitute a model of knowledge...
