SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Vera Hoffmann-Kolss (University of Bern)
DESCRIPTION:Title: Bread Prices and Sea Levels: Interventionism\, Monotonicity\, and the Problem of Variable Relativity \nAbstract: A key challenge for interventionist causal models is to distinguish non-causal probabilistic dependence relations from true causal relations. In this paper\, I first argue that causal models can better accomplish this task if they are required to be monotonic in the following sense: the causal relations occurring in a model M would not disappear if further variables were added to M. If causal models must be monotonic\, then standard problem cases for the causal modelling approach can be avoided. This is especially true for cases where variables do not stand in causal relations\, but are probabilistically related by accident\, such as Sober’s famous example of the relationship between bread prices in England and the sea level in Venice. In a second step\, I examine the consequences of the monotonicity requirement for the debate on variable relativity\, that is\, the question of whether a variable can be the cause of another variable relative to a variable set V (constituting a model)\, but not relative to another variable set V’ (constituting a different model). I argue that the monotonicity requirement is consistent with a benign form of variable relativity\, but prevents causal models from being variable relative in a problematic sense.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar | Simon Prosser ‘Shared Egocentric Thoughts’.
DESCRIPTION:Egocentric thoughts\, such as those that we express using words like ‘I’\, ‘here’\, and ‘now’\, have led to many puzzles. One of these arises from the fact that one might think that communication involves the sharing of thoughts; but\, if my ‘I’ thought can be shared with you\, then you will not express it using the word ‘I’\, and it will have a different significance for your actions. This famously led Frege to the view that ‘I’ has both a public and a private sense\, and hence there is both a public and a private thought. John Perry’s work in the late 1970s offered a different approach\, wherein the same coarse-grained ‘thought’ could be shared\, but those sharing it would be in different ‘belief states’; so\, egocentric thoughts could only be shared in a weakened sense. I shall discuss a different approach that can be taken by those who accept a relational individuation of thoughts\, according to which the question of whether two people share the same thought is determined by the epistemic relations between their thought tokens. I shall conclude that although Perry is right that something in the original Fregean doctrine has to be abandoned\, it is possible to individuate thoughts in a way that better captures their psychological roles. The cost is that we must modify the assumption that behaviour can be explained entirely in terms of thoughts (and attitudes to them). Instead\, we must add to this a distinction between thoughts that are entertained egocentrically (the meaning of which will be explained)\, and those that are not. \n
