In his early work, he endorsed the safety condition, but later ret-racted this view when first developing his much dis-cussed virtue epistemology. Recently, Sosa has further developed his virtue theory with the notion of competence and has developed an accompanying, modified safety condition that he maintains is entailed by that theory: the SSS-safety condition. Sosa's view is that this condition holds on both knowledge and action, because both knowledge and action are the manifestations of competence. The SSS-safety condition, roughly, says that if S were to make an attempt at φ -ing under certain specified shape-situation pairs, holding fixed their seat , then S would φ . The argument of this paper is that this new SSS-safety condition does not hold on either knowledge or action. We argue for this conclusion by providing a principled way to generate counterexamples to the condition for both knowledge and action. The reasoning is that there can exist a non-empty symmetric difference between the sets of shape-situation pairs under which distinct agents can manifest their","PeriodicalId":44963,"journal":{"name":"Thought-A Journal of Philosophy","volume":"10 1","pages":"127-134"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/THT3.487","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43322448","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Nested conditionals and genericity in the de Finetti semantics","authors":"Daniel Lassiter, Jean Baratgin","doi":"10.1002/THT3.478","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/THT3.478","url":null,"abstract":"The trivalent, truth-functional theory of conditionals proposed by de Finetti in 1936 and developed in a scattered literature since has enjoyed a recent revival in philosophy, psychology, and linguistics. However, several theorists have argued that this approach is fatally flawed in that it cannot correctly account for nested conditionals and compounds of conditionals. Focusing on nested conditionals, we observe that the problem cases uniformly involve generic predicates, and that the inference patterns claimed to be problematic are very plausible when we ensure that only non-generic (episodic and stative) predicates are used. In addition, the trivalent theory makes correct predictions about the original, generic counter-examples when combined with an off-the-shelf theory of genericity. The ability of the trivalent semantics to account for this complex interaction with genericity thus appears as a strong argument in its favor. 1 The trivalent semantics for indicative conditionals An extensive theoretical and experimental literature supports ‘Stalnaker’s thesis’, the equation between probabilities of conditionals and conditional probabilities (Stalnaker 1970; Edgington 1995; Bennett 2003; Hadjichristidis, Stevenson, Over, Sloman, Evans & Feeney 2001; Over & Evans 2003; Fugard, Pfeifer, Mayerhofer & Kleiter 2010; Douven & Verbrugge 2010, 2013 and many others). Stalnaker’s thesis: P(If A, C) = P(C ∣ A). Lewis’s (1976) proof is widely thought to show that this equation cannot hold. However, Lewis’ proof tacitly assumes bivalence, as do a wide range of other triviality proofs for Stalnaker’s thesis (Lassiter 2019). In fact, a trivalent, truth-functional semantics that supports Stalnaker’s thesis while avoiding triviality results was provided more than 3 decades before this thesis was proposed, in de Finetti 1936 (English translation in de Finetti 1995). According to de Finetti, the indicative conditional If A, C is true if A∧C, and false if A∧¬C, and otherwise undefined (here noted ‘#’). Most crucially, the indicative conditional is always undefined when its antecedent is false.1 1 For de Finetti, the third truth-value represents an epistemic relation of “doubt” between an agent and a sentence (de Finetti 1995: 182). Other interpretations are possible: for example, Hailperin (1996) interprets the # value as ‘don’t care’. For our purposes, it is not the meaning of the # value that is critical but its formal role in the semantics of conditionals, and so we will not take a stand on this interpretive question.","PeriodicalId":44963,"journal":{"name":"Thought-A Journal of Philosophy","volume":"10 1","pages":"42-52"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2021-02-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1002/THT3.478","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44154498","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"哲学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
