Mindshaping and Constructing Kinds.Mason Westfall - forthcoming - In Tad Zawidzki, Routledge Handbook of Mindshaping.details In this chapter, I juxtapose the mindshaping research program with the literature on the metaphysics of social construction. I suggest that these research programs are remarkably congenial. The practices of interest to mindshaping theorists are more or less straightforward instances of the processes that are taken to be essential to social construction. As such, a constructionist metaphysics of psychological kinds is readily available. I discuss some recent constructionist treatments of particular psychological kinds against this backdrop, before considering how the constructionist (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
The Revised Reward Theory of Desire.Jeremy Pober - forthcoming - Erkenntnis:1-20.details I propose and articulate a novel theory of desire, called the Revised Reward Theory.

What, if any, is our purpose? What is the structure of the universe? That humans engage in these endeavors has long puzzled evolutionary theorists, as they go beyond the immediate demands of fending for ourselves, seeking safety, finding food, and reproducing, which occupy the daily lives of other animals. In this book, philosopher Helen De Cruz draws on a wide (...) Download Export citation Bookmark
