Ive
posted the days changes to the philosophy
papers blog. There are four changes, none of them especially striking.
There seems to be a bug in the changes checker, for the second day in a row it
couldnt find hundreds of pages to check if theyd changed. If this happens
again tomorrow Ill try doing something serious about it.
The
only really interesting change is that Joshua Knobe has posted the questions from an
experiment he ran. Because Joshua (unlike your writer) cares about things
like experimental control, hes not counting the results from online users. Its
interesting, however, to take the experiment. The point of the experiment is
largely that we are more willing to say that an action was intentional when it
is morally pernicious. This isnt exactly
a new point (its in Ryle, I think, and certainly discussed in Grice) but the
examples Joshua sets out isolate the intuitions in a way I hadnt previously
seen.
