Semanticization Challenges the Episodic–Semantic Distinction
Episodic and semantic memory are often taken to be fundamentally different mental systems, and contemporary philosophers often pursue research questions about episodic memory, in particular, in isolation from semantic memory. This article challenges that assumption, and puts pressure on philosophical approaches to memory that break off episodic memory as its own stand-alone topic. I present and systematize psychological and neuroscientific theori…
The Fragmented Mind
This excellent volume contains 14 chapters exploring the idea of fragmentation: the division of a belief state into parts (“fragments”) that can represent the world in distinct, jointly incoherent ways. For instance, I might know that sea cucumbers are a type of animal related to starfish when I am asked in a biological context, but when I am at a restaurant and see them on the menu, I think that sea cucumbers are a vegetable. I have two ways of …
The problem of arbitrary requirements
Exploring by Believing
Sometimes, we face choices between actions most likely to lead to valuable outcomes, and actions which put us in a better position to learn. These choices exemplify what is called the exploration/exploitation trade-off. In computer science and psychology, this trade-off has fruitfully been applied to modulating the way agents or systems make choices over time. This article extends the trade-off to belief. We can be torn between two ways of believ…
