Summer 2014 | Public lectures and events | VideoSafeguards of a Disunified MindContributor(s): Professor Wlodek Rabinowicz | Pragmatic arguments for rationality constraints on a decision maker’s beliefs or preferences show that disobeying such constraints makes one vulnerable to exploitation. Wlodek Rabinowicz will suggest that the proposed exploitation set-ups share a common feature: roughly, a constraint violator can be exploited only if she decides on various issues separately rather than in a unified manner. Some measure of disunification is a part of the human condition. Pragmatic arguments identify safeguards of a disunified mind.

MCMP – Mathematical Philosophy (Archive 2011/12)Value Relations RevisitedWlodek Rabinowicz (Lund) gives a talk at the MCMP colloquium (24 April, 2012) titled "Value Relations Revisited". Abstract: In Rabinowicz 2008, I considered how value relations can best be analyzed in terms of fitting pro-attitudes. In the formal model of that paper, fitting pro-attitudes were represented by the class of permissible preference orderings on a domain of items that are being compared. As it turns out, this approach opens up for a multiplicity of different types of value relationships, along with the standard relations of "better", "worse", "equally as good as" and "incomparable in value". Unfortunately, though, the approach is vulnerable to a...2012-09-1853 minMCMP – Mathematical Philosophy (Archive 2011/12)Aggregating value judgmentsWlodek Rabinowicz (Lund) gives a talk at the 9th Formal Epistemology Workshop (Munich, May 29–June 2, 2012) titled "Aggregating value judgments" (joint work with Stephan Hartmann and Soroush Rafiee Rad).2012-09-1654 min
