Comparing evaluations
Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society 108 (1pt1):85-100 (2008)
Abstract
This paper explores the problem of comparing the strengths of different individual's attitudes, and especially their evaluative attitudes, by looking at how measures of these quantities are obtained. I argue that comparisons of both strengths of belief and relative strengths of preference and desire are justified by the causal role they play in the production of action.Author's Profile
