...Franz Dietrich; Christian List This essay presents a new “reason-based” approach to the formal representation of moral theories, drawing on recent decision-theoretic work. It shows that any moral theory within a very large class can be represented in terms of two parameters: (i) a specification...

... on reasons. Then the author argues that core object representations are based on reasons, through an examination of both experimental results and key markers of the basing relation. The scope of mental states that are subject to epistemic evaluation as justified or unjustified is not restricted to beliefs...

... reasons to think that Kant's conception of number includes the representation of both cardinal and ordinal properties. I believe that Kant's discussions of arithmetic and number in the critical period, taken in their entirety, point to the following view: Kant's conception of number in general is based...

... by biology rather than social convention. But this linguis- tic model is inappropriate for pictorial representation for many reasons. The most fundamental is that successful pictorial representation does not seem to be arbitrary at all. The relationship between a drawing, photo- graph, or perceptual...

... representation and physics strained. The thought of the anticausalists was not that physics is incompatible with causal representation but that we don't find causal structures at the fundamental level of physical description. The most valuable part of the book is the demonstration that causal reasoning plays...

... of representation, it gives us reason to think that some other such features are not in fact so distinctive. Hopkins identifies six features as distinctive of depiction. My account explains four of these features readily. First, it explains why, as Hopkins argues, pictures must depict their objects...

... intentionality, which is taken as the mark of the mental (Brentano) or, lately, of the cognitive (Adams and Aizawa) can be analyzed based on neopragmatist resources. Thus, Brandom's point that the most fundamental form of intentionality (aboutness) is practical rather than symbolic-representational-semantic can...

...-knowledge ground the warrant of beliefs about what beliefs one has in terms of their constituting a precondition for critical reasoning (Burge, in Burge and Peacocke 1996; Shoemaker 1996). An explanation is bottom-up if it appeals to features to do with the nature of the base state and/or its content...

... master such exercises to a reasonable degree, they will be taught to add, subtract, and multiply using the symbols alone. At this stage, children will learn tricks for adding that are based on the use of the decimal system, like carrying over ones, or multiplying with the tens first and the ones...

... of representationalism, according to which the contents of experiences consist of objects and properties, and a fortiori the represented properties determine the representational contents . I am not concerned with Fregean versions, according to which these contents are composed of modes of presentations of objects...

... alternative accounts that analyze iconicity in terms of isomorphism or informational holism. In section 5 , I show how a rules-based analysis can make sense of the spectrum of representational forms that cannot be easily classified as exclusively iconic or symbolic. This section begins by introducing...

... this by saying that my current perceptual experience, though it has “content,” has only sensational content, not representational content: It is, as one might put it in an un- dergraduate course, not about anything. It is, for that reason, ob- scure how, on this view, my current perception is supposed...

... and Wattenberg (1969) , can be used to save Regularity , and this response has been generally accepted by philosophers working in the area for the past several decades. 6 I think that this situation is largely based on a mistake about the role of numbers in mathematical representations.

..., rather than propositions, are the result of practical (syllogistic) reasoning. See Wolff 2018. For examples of causal premises playing a similar role in reasoning, see Johnson 2008: 93–95. 33. This role for representations in the carrying out of a maxim is analogous to the way that John Searle...
