Abstract

False hope is costly for individuals, their loved ones, and society. Scholars have defined false hope as one that involves an epistemically unjustified belief. In this paper, I argue that this account of false hope is incomplete and that false hope should be conceptualized in terms of the way in which the agent attends to or focuses on a highly desired but unlikely outcome. I explain how this account better captures the distinctiveness of false hope.

虚假希望的焦点账户。

虚假希望会让个人、亲人和社会付出高昂的代价。学者们将虚假希望定义为涉及认识论上不合理的信念。在本文中，我认为这种对虚假希望的解释是不全面的，虚假希望应该从行为主体关注或专注于一个非常期望但不可能实现的结果的方式来概念化。我将解释这种解释如何更好地捕捉虚假希望的独特性。
