Functionalism and tacit knowledge of grammar

Balcarras, David

2023 Philosophical Perspectives

doi:10.1111/phpe.12179

In this article, I argue that if tacit knowledge of grammar is analyzable in functional‐computational terms, then it cannot ground linguistic meaning, structure, or sound. If to know or cognize a grammar is to be in a certain computational state playing a certain functional role, there can be no...

Whither naïve realism? – I

Byrne, Alex; Green, E. J.

2023 Philosophical Perspectives

doi:10.1111/phpe.12180

Different authors offer subtly different characterizations of naïve realism. We disentangle the main ones and argue that illusions provide the best proving ground for naïve realism and its main rival, representationalism. According to naïve realism, illusions never involve perceptual error. We...

Neural decoding, the Atlantis machine, and zombies

Cao, Rosa; Warren, Jared

2023 Philosophical Perspectives

doi:10.1111/phpe.12181

Neural decoding studies seem to show that the “private” experiences of others are more accessible than philosophers have traditionally believed. While these studies have many limitations, they do demonstrate that by capturing patterns in brain activity, we can discover a great deal about what a...

Compositionality and constituent structure in the analogue mind

Clarke, Sam

2023 Philosophical Perspectives

doi:10.1111/phpe.12182

I argue that analogue mental representations possess a canonical decomposition into privileged constituents from which they compose. I motivate this suggestion, and rebut arguments to the contrary, through reflection on the approximate number system, whose representations are widely expected to...

Morgan's Quaker gun and the species of belief

Curry, Devin Sanchez

2023 Philosophical Perspectives

doi:10.1111/phpe.12183

In this article, I explore how researchers’ metaphysical commitments can be conducive—or unconducive—to progress in animal cognition research. The methodological dictum known as Morgan's Canon exhorts comparative psychologists to countenance the least mentalistic fair interpretation of animal...

Conditional emotions

Dietz, Christina Hope

2023 Philosophical Perspectives

doi:10.1111/phpe.12184

Some conditional involving factive emotives present a prima facie challenge to the thesis that conditionals obey modus ponens. Drawing on recent work by Timothy Williamson, I offer an error‐theoretic diagnosis of the phenomenon, one that appeals to a heuristic that we use in suppositional reasoning.

The myth of full belief

Goodman, Jeremy

2023 Philosophical Perspectives

doi:10.1111/phpe.12185

Belief is typically understood to be the success‐neutral counterpart of knowledge. But there is no success‐neutral counterpart of knowledge.

The function of perceptual learning

Jenkin, Zoe

2023 Philosophical Perspectives

doi:10.1111/phpe.12186

Our perceptual systems are not stagnant but can learn from experience. Why is this so? That is, what is the function of perceptual learning? I consider two answers to this question: The Offloading View, which says that the function of perceptual learning is to offload tasks from cognition onto...
