Common Principles and Multiculturalism

Judgment on rightness and wrongness of beliefs and behaviors is a main issue in bioethics. Over centuries, big philosophers and ethicists have been discussing the suitable tools to determine which act is morally sound and which one is not. Emerging the contemporary bioethics in the West has resulted in a misconception that absolute westernized principles would be appropriate tools for ethical d...

Multimodal Approach for Rationalization and Quantification of Structural Disorder in Transition Al2O3

Transition aluminas form a basis of important catalytic and catalytic support materials due to their unique surface acidity, high temperature structural stability, and their viability for synthesis as high surface area materials [1]. The origin of transition aluminas attractive properties has been extensively studied in the past 50+ years, but despite this effort, there are number of structural...

Rationalization and Incomplete Information∗

We analyze a family of extensive-form solution procedures for games with incomplete information that do not require the specification of an epistemic type space à la Harsanyi, but can accommodate a (commonly known) collection of explicit restrictions ∆ on first-order beliefs. For any fixed ∆ we obtain a solution called ∆-rationalizability. In static games, ∆-rationalizability characterizes the ...

Affect, Rationalization, and Motivation

Unreflective cognitive processes — or mere information processing — takes place in ‘the space of causes’ while reflection occurs, instead, in the ‘space of reasons’. This characterization, of course, nicely encapsulates the perspectival shift I have been focusing on. Unreflective processes are naturally viewed from a third-person perspective, and so we see them in mechanistic terms: inhabitants...
