The Scaling-Up Problem from a Mechanistic Point of View
This paper argues that the so-called scaling-up problem (representation-hunger problem) can be resolved within the mechanistic framework of explanation. Emphasising the problem’s character as an empirical challenge for non-representationalists to provide explanations of cognitive phenomena involving sensitivity to the abstract and absent, the paper surveys and rejects prominent non-representationalist answers. An important epistemic aspect of the…
Illusionism about virtual causation
The question whether there are virtual objects grows more salient, as virtual reality (VR) technology becomes commercially viable. Arguments for realism about virtual objects rely on virtual causation. This paper argues that current accounts of virtual causation (both realist and irrealist) are inadequate – realists oversimplify the relation between virtual objects, virtual events, and their digital counterparts, while irrealists conflate virtual…
