供选可能性的认知维度:基于STIT逻辑的呈现

Epistemic dimension of alternative possibilities: Representation with STIT logic



摘要: 

‘The principle of alternative possibilities’ (PAP), stating that ‘a person is morally responsible for what he has done only if he could have done otherwise,’ has long been central to discussions of moral responsibility. However, Frankfurt's [1] counterexamples, which challenge PAP, have shifted scholarly focus to actual-sequence views.
In this talk, I will introduce an interpretative approach that incorporates an epistemic dimension of alternative possibilities, arguing that while we intuitively consider alternative possibilities when ascribing responsibility, this consideration operates at an epistemic rather than a purely factual level.

Utilizing Canavotto's [2] refinement of STIT, I will first outline the factual perspective of alternative possibilities and examine the ‘orthodox’ theory proposed by Fischer and Ravizza [3] along with its possible objections. Then, by extending the model with an epistemic (or doxastic) relation, we emphasize the epistemic aspect of alternative possibilities.
