Abstract:

The article explores five parts of Cartesian thought that include individualism, internalism, rationalism, universalism, and human exceptionalism demonstrating the philosophical and psychological theories of rationality. Ecological rationality comes about through the coadaptation of minds and their environments. The internal bounds comprising the capacities of the cognitive system can be shaped by evolution, learning, or development to take advantage of the structure of the external environment. The external bounds, comprising the structure of information available in the environment, can be s

Abstract:

This chapter argues that, in order to distinguish between good and bad defiance, it is inadequate merely to rely on legal or clinical definitions of vice and disorder. Instead, a realistic account of some of the features of phronesis (practical reasoning) is needed. The question examined in this chapter is what qualities or characteristics would make defiant behavior wrong and why. The author claims that sometimes defiant behavior should be seen as virtuous. In order to show that this is not the case, the author begins with a discussion of the features of Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD)

Abstract:

This chapter pits the motives described in Chapter 2 against each other. If people pursue punishment, are they mainly driven by utilitarian or retributive motives? The evidence overwhelmingly suggests that retributive motives trump utilitarian motives. Sometimes people do use rational reasoning when punishing, but while emotion tends to increase punishment, reason tends to decrease punishment. At the same time, the chapter takes issue with authors who have positioned behavioral control as a “happy byproduct” of moral punishment. In the evolutionary history of our species, we evolved a moral pu

Abstract:

Despite the fact that the public’s trust in the news media is at historic lows, despite the fact that hardly a day goes by without another report of unethical behavior by news professionals, journalists and teachers remain dedicated to ethical issues—perhaps more so now than at any other time in history. News companies are developing rigorous codes of conduct; journalists and editors are vigorously reporting on ethical lapses by their peers, and many journalism schools are creating standalone courses in journalism ethics and hiring faculty members who are devoted to ethics research and instruc

Abstract:

Despite the lack of scientific consensus about the etiologies of mental disorders, practicing clinicians and laypeople alike hold beliefs about the causes of mental disorders, and about the causal relations among symptoms and associated characteristics of mental disorders. This chapter summarizes research on how such causal knowledge systematically affects judgments about the diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of mental disorders. During diagnosis, causal knowledge affects weighting of symptoms, perception of normality of behaviors, ascriptions of blame, and adherence to the DSM-based diagnos

Abstract:

This chapter first explains what intuitive theories are, how they can be modeled as probabilistic, generative programs, and how intuitive theories support various cognitive functions such as prediction, counterfactual reasoning, and explanation. It focuses on two domains of knowledge: people’s intuitive understanding of physics, and their intuitive understanding of psychology. It shows how causal judgments can be modeled as counterfactual contrasts operating over an intuitive theory of physics, and how explanations of an agent’s behavior are grounded in a rational planning model that is invert

Abstract:

This chapter examines the relationship between defiance and flourishing by analyzing three cases and unpacking some of the epistemic and ontological assumptions that undergird our naïve ideas about flourishing. The aim is to clarify under what conditions a person with a mental disorder might be able to flourish, what a claim of flourishing entails, and why some defiant behavior is central to this theory of flourishing—it counts as good defiance. It argues against Aristotle’s account of human virtue as a function of excellent reasoning and against positive psychology’s conception of mental heal

Why did people mobilize for the Arab Spring? While existing research has focused on the roles of authoritarian regimes, oppositional structures, and social grievances in the movement, these explanations fail to address differences in the behavior of individuals, overlooking the fact that even when millions mobilized for the Arab Spring, the majority of the population stayed at home. To investigate this puzzle, this book traces the reasoning processes by which individuals decided to join the uprisings or to refrain from doing so.

Abstract:

Chapter 3 proposes a contractarian approach to normative economics. Instead of taking a view from nowhere, a contractarian analyst addresses citizens as individuals, advising them how to reach mutually beneficial agreements. I identify early contractarian arguments in Hobbes’s Leviathan and Hume’s Treatise of Human Nature. I argue that contractarianism is appropriate if politics is understood as primarily about negotiation, rather than executive action or debate. I discuss the ‘libertarian paternalist’ (or ‘nudging’) approach to policy-making recommended by many behavioural economists. Althoug

Abstract:

This chapter examines the “who” of support for women’s ordination: who supports and who opposes female clergy in their congregations? It examines the nationwide Gender and Religious Representation Survey to uncover which factors are associated with support and which with opposition, paying special attention to things like personal demographics, religious behavior and attitudes, congregational context, and political orientations. The results show that support for female ordination is much more a function of congregational context and religious and political orientations than it is of demographi

Abstract:

This chapter argues that in some contexts, deliberation may have a limited role to play in making our spontaneous reactions more virtuous. The chapter begins by considering the arguments of Peter Railton, and Nomy Arpaly and Timothy Schroeder, that deliberation cannot be foundational for action. Then, the chapter examines cases in which agents appear to act ethically in spite of their deliberative reasoning. Even perfect deliberation can undermine ethical action, the chapter argues. In the case of overcoming implicit bias, the relationship between spontaneity and deliberation is fraught too. E

Abstract:

Chapter 2 addresses a question that economists rarely ask when they engage in normative analysis: to whom is this analysis addressed? I argue that both neoclassical and behavioural economists usually write as if addressing an imagined ‘social planner’, conceptualized as a benevolent autocrat who agrees with them on all controversial issues. Philosophers who write about normative economics sometimes imagine instead that they are engaging in ‘public reasoning’, addressing an assembly of moral agents who are trying to decide what, all things considered, is good for people (individually and collec

Through the lens developed by Charles Sanders Peirce, the American philosopher renowned for his contributions to semiotics and pragmatism, Simone Bernardi della Rosa explores how habits profoundly impact human cognition and self-conception, shaping our thoughts and behaviors. The author first analyzes the philosophical architecture of habit and its fundamental metaphysical properties, defending the thesis that habits are a mediating category between possibility and actuality

Abstract:

This chapter defends the 2-agents claim, according to which the two hemispheres of a split-brain subject are associated with distinct intentional agents. The empirical basis of this claim is that, while both hemispheres are the source or site of intentions, the capacity to integrate them in practical reasoning no longer operates interhemispherically after split-brain surgery. As a result, the right hemisphere-associated agent, R, and the left hemisphere-associated agent, L, enjoy intentional autonomy from each other.

At the dawn of the twenty-first century, international politics is increasingly governed by legal rules and institutions.

This book focuses on the issue of why people radicalize.

For example, they feel that their group is being treated in blatantly unfair manners, or they judge crucial moral principles to be violated. The book makes the case that these unfairnes

Mental representation is one of the core theoretical constructs within cognitive science and, together with the introduction of the computer as a model for the mind, is responsible for enabling the “cognitive turn” in psychology and associated fields.

Abstract:

This volume settles the debate between analytic and continental philosophy. It turns to art, more specifically popular culture, to demonstrate the validity of continental philosophy. Drawing on the philosophy of Georg Hegel (perhaps the most important of continental philosophers), James Kreines holds that reason in the world metaphysically exists. Reasons of the world are reasons of the Hegelian Absolute. Thus, similar to the fact that gravity is curves in the space-time continuum along which matter moves – reasons are the grooves in the Absolute along which human decision-making occurs. Art a
