Published: 01 October 2017
...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.

.... If and when an agent is justified in thinking that the representation is incorrect, that suffices for the representation (if she continues to have it) to be maladroit, and so makes her basing relation nonjustifying. The basing relation obtains between A's reason R, on the one hand, and A's C'ing...

..., irrespective of whether orientation was task-relevant? One reason to doubt this is that the effects of feature-based expectation were distinct from those standardly exerted by attention. While attention and expectation both produce sharpened neural representation (and increased perceptual sensitivity...

... by biology rather than social convention. But this linguis-
tic model is inappropriate for pictorial representation for many reasons.

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...

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...

...). An explanation is bottom-up if it appeals to features to do with the nature of the base state and/or its content. For example, some accounts of doxastic self-knowledge appeal to the phenomenology of a judgment that p as providing a reason for one to self-ascribe the belief that p (e.g., Peacocke...
