Summary
This study explores In-Its-Own-Right-Mental (IEM) judgments, contrasting a new theory with the Simple View. It explains why IEM judgments don't require identity assumptions, focusing on the mode of experience.
Area of Science:
- Philosophy of Mind
- Epistemology
- Cognitive Science
Background:
- The Simple View defines In-Its-Own-Right-Mental (IEM) judgments by the absence of identity assumptions in their grounds.
- The Simple View, however, does not elucidate the underlying reasons for this lack of identity assumption in IEM cases.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a novel account of IEM judgments that complements the Simple View.
- To provide a theoretical explanation for why identity assumptions are unnecessary for grounding singular judgments in IEM cases.
Main Methods:
- Comparative analysis of a new account of IEM judgments against the established Simple View.
- Philosophical argumentation focusing on the nature of experience and its role in judgment formation.
Main Results:
- The proposed account posits that IEM judgments are grounded in specific types of experiences.
- The 'mode' of experience, or its inherent type, pre-determines the object of IEM judgments.
Conclusions:
- The mode of experience is sufficient to determine the referent of IEM judgments, obviating the need for identity assumptions.
- This account offers a deeper understanding of the cognitive mechanisms underlying IEM judgments.

2.1K
According to Albert Einstein (1897-1955), free-falling and feeling weightless are intrinsically linked. If a person were in free-fall under gravity, for example, diving towards the Earth from an airplane, they would feel completely weightless. Similarly, a person descending in a lift may feel partially weightless. Broadly speaking, it is assumed that an object in a uniform gravitational field and an object undergoing constant acceleration in the absence of gravity are under the same...

04:08The Uncertainty Principle
22.9K
Werner Heisenberg considered the limits of how accurately one can measure properties of an electron or other microscopic particles. He determined that there is a fundamental limit to how accurately one can measure both a particle’s position and its momentum simultaneously. The more accurate the measurement of the momentum of a particle is known, the less accurate the position at that time is known and vice versa. This is what is now called the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. He...

01:19Understanding Memory
185
Memory is the retention of information or experiences over time, facilitated through three main processes: encoding, storage, and retrieval. Encoding is the process of inputting information into the memory system. For instance, when listening to a lecture, watching a play, reading a book, or having a conversation, the brain is actively encoding information. This initial stage involves transforming sensory input into a form that can be processed and stored by the brain. Various factors, such as...

2.9K
In a beam of charged particles created by a heated cathode, the particles move at different speeds. However, many applications need a beam with uniform particle speeds. An arrangement known as a velocity selector uses electric and magnetic fields to pick particles with a particular speed from the beam.
A particle with charge q, speed v, and mass m enters an area from the top, where the magnetic and electric fields are perpendicular both to the particle's motion and to one another. The...

Explicit memories, also known as declarative memories, are consciously remembered, recalled, and reported. Studying for a chemistry exam involves material that will become part of explicit memory. There are two types of explicit memory: episodic and semantic.
Episodic memory contains information about personally experienced events and is reported as a story. An example of episodic memory is recalling a birthday celebration. This type of memory includes the what, where, and when of an event, as...

The total amount of current flowing per unit cross-sectional area is called the current density. Hence, the current passing through a cross-sectional area can be written as the surface integral of the current density.
