..., to be performed. This thesis assumes that the structure of motivating reasons is sufficiently similar to the structure of normative reasons that the required coincidence in content and strength is a genuine possibility. But because motivating reasons have only one dimension of strength, while normative reasons...

... n dimensions in some set N = { 1 , 2 , … , n } . Each dimension i has a dimensional utility function   u i , which assigns a real number to each alternative in X . This implies that each dimension is measurable on some real-valued scale, though it does...

... the grouping of features into dimensions. If cognition leads a perceptual process to compute over a feature that cannot be dimensionally grouped with any of the features that the process was previously able to compute over, then the process has been enriched, and DRH is false. I've now explained DRH...

... of political equality is for the state to treat each citizen as an equal coauthor of the law. The overarching goal is to catalyze a more vigorous debate about political equality, akin to the long-standing debates about other dimensions of equality.

... closer in the space correspond to mental qualities that are more similar to each other. For example, in the canonical three-dimensional model of color qualities, any particular color quality can be specified via its values along the hue, saturation, and brightness dimensions, and color qualities...

..., syntactic dimensionality of a computational procedure for solving it. 23. If some information is necessary for concept possession, then read this as ‘without any further information than is necessary for representing the dimension.’ 17. See section 1 and footnote 6 for discussion...

... is T, m 's dimension is M, M 's dimension is M, the gravitational constant G 's dimensions are L 3 M − 1 T − 2 , and r 's dimension is L. Since the dimensions of T and m α M β G γ r δ must balance (via “dimensional homogeneity”), their exponents give us 0 = 3γ+δ, 0 = α+β − γ...

... expresses the function of an artifact, then it is enough that this be the intended function of the artifact. I will call these specific kind-relative expectations characteristic dimensions of a kind and will return to the relation between characteris- tic dimensions and generics in more detail below...

... in the book, about which I have nothing to say here. The psychological dimension of action is closely connected to the intellectual dimension. Hyman also treats belief as a disposition. He never says what belief is a disposition to do as clearly as he does for desire, but he does say belief mimics...

...-forming process might be more reliable than A ’s. What this shows, I think, is that a fully comprehensive theory of rationality will need to have two dimensions. First, it will need take into account the process responsible for the credence/belief (in the case of doxastic rationality...

... of contexts that have the conditions from the two use-conditional meanings. The semantic value of an expression is three-dimensional. Between the t-dimension and u-dimension lies the s-dimension. The s-dimension is needed to facilitate compositional interaction between the other two dimensions. It stores...

.... Accordingly, ⌽ advocates of the Standard Analysiss suppose that the not- items, indeed all items, in a ⌽-ordering that defines borderline cases for are also ordered on some distinct dimension D that is (at least par- tially) decisive...

... of the normative strength of reasons will need to distinguish two dimensions of normative strength, corresponding to each of these roles, since two reasons with the same justifying strength might have very different requiring strengths. I will also argue that because reasons have these two distinct...

... . Doing so allows us to give a natural model of how there can be orthogonal epistemic errors. The basic idea is that, in such cases, normality is multi-dimensional. If there are many dimensions along which situations vary in normality (such as the accuracy of the scale and the accuracy of the thermometer...

... stance has a significant a priori dimension. For example, here is what he says about the adoption of an empiricist stance: The recourse to metaphysical inference is important not only to distinguish straightforward, ontology-guiding experiences from optical illusions and hallucinations, but also to help...

.... Pp. xxii, 377. Over the past decade, scholarship on Kant’s practical philosophy has developed from a one-dimensional focus on his objective normative doctrines toward a more richly textured engagement with his views of character, virtue, and subjective moral consciousness. A significant...
