The Illusion of Permissive Balancing
The standard view among philosophers of normativity is that practical reasons balance permissively (i.e., when reasons are tied between incompatible actions, either action is rational), while epistemic reasons balance prohibitively (i.e., when reasons are tied between incompatible doxastic attitudes, neither attitude may be rationally formed). Those who disagree, typically epistemic permissivists, think that epistemic reasons behave like reasons …
The Rational Method
Performances, epistemic and practical, can be understood as having aims and methods which jointly determine whether the performance was successful. In this paper, I advance a novel, structural account of the rationality of performances that draws on this aims/methods framework. Performance-rationality, I argue, is a distinct kind of structural rationality determined by internal conflict within methods (that is, when methods have incompatible, joi…
Putting Racism Back in the Head
Personal racism used to be widely considered a kind of cognitive defect, with racists being people with biased, irrational racial attitudes. This kind of epistemic “racism‐in‐the‐head” view has fallen largely out of favor in recent decades. Few philosophers have defended it, with many turning toward moral or socio‐political rival accounts. This paper offers a robust defense of the epistemic view. It advances a new, broader version, claiming: Pers…
Should epistemic instrumentalists be more social
Profiling the New Zealand Police Trainee Physical Competency Test
Police officers require a certain amount of occupational fitness to successfully perform physically demanding tasks. As such, trainees are required to undergo training to develop their ability to perform such tasks. The physical competency test (PCT) is a 400 m obstacle course consisting of key police occupational physical tasks used to evaluate a trainee's ability to complete tasks that a police officer is expected to perform whilst on duty. The…
Contextuality from Quantum Physics to Psychology
The book explores the variety of meanings of contextuality across different disciplines, with the emphasis on quantum physics and on psychology.
