Rather, it would raise new questions and open up new lines of thought. Toward the old questions of philosophy, Dewey took a radical stance: “Old questions are solved by disappearing . while new questions .

Norm Manipulation, Norm Evasion: Experimental Evidence Abstract Using an economic bargaining game, we tested for the existence of two phenomena related to social norms, namely norm manipulation – the selection of an interpretation of the norm that best suits an individual – and norm evasion – the deliberate, private violation of a social norm. We found that the manipulation of a norm of fairness was characterized by a self-serving bias in beliefs about what constituted normatively acceptable behaviour, so that an individual who made an uneven bargaining offer not only genuinely believed it was fair, but also believed that recipients found it fair, even though recipients of the offer considered it to be unfair. In contrast, norm evasion operated as a highly explicit process. When they could do so without the recipient's knowledge, individuals made uneven offers despite knowing that their behaviour was unfair.

  • When Computer Simulations Lead Us Astray
    The Dark Side of the Force: When computer simulations lead us astray and “model think” narrows our imagination — Pre conference draft for the Models and Simulation Conference, Paris, June 12-14 — Eckhart Arnold May 31th 2006 Abstract This paper is intended as a critical examination of the question of when the use of computer simulations is beneficial to scientific expla- nations. This objective is pursued in two steps: First, I try to establish clear criteria that simulations must meet in order to be explanatory. Basically, a simulation has explanatory power only if it includes all causally relevant factors of a given empirical configuration and if the simulation delivers stable results within the measurement inaccuracies of the input parameters. If a simulation is not explanatory, it can still be meaningful for exploratory purposes, but only under very restricted conditions. In the second step, I examine a few examples of Axelrod-style simulations as they have been used to understand the evolution of co- operation (Axelrod, Schußler)¨ and the evolution of the social contract (Skyrms). These simulations do not meet the criteria for explanatory validity and it can be shown, as I believe, that they lead us astray from the scientific problems they have been addressed to solve and at the same time bar our imagination against more conventional but still better approaches. 1 i Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 Different aims of computer simulations in science 1 3 Criteria for “explanatory” simulations 2 4 Simulations that fail to explain 7 4.1 Axelrod style simulations of the “evolution of cooperation” . 8 4.1.1 Typical features of Axelrod style simulations .

  • 1 Rule-Following As Coordination: a Game-Theoretic Approach Giacomo
    Rule-following as coordination: A game-theoretic approach Giacomo Sillari University of Pennsylvania Make the following experiment: say “It‟s cold here” and mean “It‟s warm here”. Can you do it? Ludwig Wittgenstein, Philosophical Investigations, §510. I can‟t say “it‟s cold here” and mean “it‟s warm here”—at least, not without a little help from my friends. David Lewis, Convention. Abstract Famously, Kripke has argued that the central portion of the Philosophical Investigations describes both a skeptical paradox and its skeptical solution. Solving the paradox involves the element of the community, which determines correctness conditions for rule- following behavior. What do such conditions precisely consist of? Is it accurate to say that there is no fact to the matter of rule following? How are the correctness conditions sustained in the community? My answers to these questions revolve around the idea (cf. P.I. §§ 198, 199) that a rule is followed insofar as a convention is in place. In particular, I consider the game-theoretic definition of convention offered by David Lewis and I show that it illuminates important elements of the communitarian understanding of rule- following1. 0.
