... the world would be like if one or another supposition were true). To capture this observation, this essay proposes that the semantic contents of conditionals be treated as sets of vectors of possible worlds, not singleton worlds, with the coordinates of each specifying the world that is or would be true...

... of urges, and exercises of capacities that agents have to control their urges. The article elaborates the elements of the tripartite framework, in particular, the phenomenological contribution of motor imagery. It argues that experiences of urges and exercises of control over urges play coordinate roles...

... for various tasks, innate sexist biases, and so on. But substantial cross-cultural diversity in the details of labor divisions points to a more complex and nuanced picture: a story of cultural evolution involving the emergence and use of social categories to solve recurring coordination problems. Cailin...

... I have called a planning theory of intention.14 We do not simply act from moment to moment. Instead, we settle on complex-and, typically, partial and hierarchically structured-future-directed plans of action, and these play basic roles in support of the orga- nization and coordination...

... about Marmor's definition—and this is crucial—is that, unlike Lewis, he does not assume that all conventions are solutions to coordination problems (22). Chess, for instance, though conventional, is not a possible solution to some underlying coordination problem. This insight motivates two further...

..., nor are they inconsistent. These worries could be avoided if functions were etiological functions: for example, if what explains the existence of (the mechanisms that produce) moral commitments is that they help us coordinate, that would explain why they have the features that allow them to play...

Animals gather in herds because two hundred eyes are better than two. Most social animals pool their information and act in coordination using inherited social routines...

.... The appropriate rules are (Rejection), which permits to infer absurdity from having asserted and rejected the same content, and the Smileian reductio rules, which state how to discharge an inferred absurdity ( Smiley   1996 ): 6 These rules are known as coordination principles , in that they do...

... with language is essentially a matter of exploiting linguistic conventions. To communicate is to change the conversational score, thereby coordinating in new ways with one's interlocutors. Uttering a sentence changes the score in a way that is determined by conventional grammatical principles. Utterances...

... coordination; they ground shared identities and shared values; and they foster group cohesion. Without such convergence, human societies would be far less stable than they are. And while some of these patterns may be the result of species-typical moral dispositions ( Hamlin 2013 ; Wynn et al. 2017 ), others...

... on consequentialism and coordination, Kosch argues that in Fichte’s view, the system of rights is the basic mechanism of coordination among a group of individuals who need to cooperate in order to pursue their rational ends. Consequently, rights are morally relevant, even though they are merely of instrumental...

..., and distinctively human action are roughly coordinate categories, liable to unified treatment in terms of a common source. Hyman's remedy is to offer clear definitions of these categories, so that we can see how they are distinct, and how they relate to each other. The “leveling of distinctions” challenge...

... ¼ the time of c On the other hand, the semantics keeps track of contextual coordinates separately, via an n-tuple called index of evaluation. The index is needed because certain expressions are sensitive to the time and world at which they are evaluated. For example, the description the best soccer...

..., such that conventions emerge to depict objects by producing marks that resemble them in set respects. A convention can be understood, following David Lewis (1969), as a widely adopted solution to a recurrent coordination problem. A co- ordination problem arises when three conditions are met. First, two...

... that would have seemed stupid if one were to have reconsidered (Nietzsche 1886, §107). But, by and large, not reconsid- ering is beneficial. It enables economy of effort (I consider once, and then do not waste scarce time and effort in further consideration); and it provides coordination advantages...

... and technologies” (172). Higher-rated companies could market their goods with a ‘Fair Trade Bio’ label, much like the ‘Fair Trade’ labels that are currently used to market coffee and other consumer goods. Hassoun anticipates that this rating system could be the focus both of activism and of coordination...

...Scott Stapleford The book has two well-coordinated parts. In the first, McCormick argues that epistemic value is inseparable from moral or prudential value: the same norms apply to belief and action. In the second, she argues that doxastic agency is basically identical to moral agency: both...

... that unlike ‘and’ and ‘or’ it is not a coordinating conjunction, it is not so clear that the syntactic evidence provides distinctive support for his semantic theory. If it’s consistent with the syntax to say p if q means All relevant q-events are p-events, it’s consistent with the syntax to say...
