Virgina is not far from here and I haven't been locked up for a while.

BTW - I'm flying out to SF next month and I hope to catch up with some
west coast friends. I have a 5 day conference on Pharmacokindtics and
Clinical Pharmacology.

[edit] Moral Conflict

Marcus defines a consistent set of moral principles as one in which
there is some "possible world " in which they are all obeyable. That
they may conflict in the actual world is not a mark of inconsistency. As
in the case of necessity of identity, there was a resistance to this
interpretation of moral conflict. Her argument counts against a widely
received view that systems of moral rules are inevitably inconsistent. See
"Moral Dilemmas and Consistency" (Journal of Philosophy, 1980)(and
frequently published elsewhere).

[edit] Belief

It is proposed that believing is a relationship of an agent to
a possible state of affairs under specified internal and external
circumstances. Assenting to a quoted sentence (the disquotation account
of belief) is only one behavioral marker of believing. Betting behavior
is another. The wholly language centered account of belief (e.g. Davidson)
is rejected. Where an agent behaves as if an impossibility obtained Marcus
proposes that under those circumstances the agent, on the disclosure
of the impossibility should say that she only claimed to believe an
impossibility. In much the same way, when a mathamatecian discovers
that one of his conjectures is false, and since if it is mathetatically
false it is impossible, he would say he only claimed to believe it. Odd
as this proposal is, it is analogous to the widely accepted principle
about knowing: if we claim to know P, and P turns out false, we do not
say we we used to know it, we say we were mistaken in so claiming. See
"A Proposed Solution to The Puzzle About Belief" (Foundations of Analytic
Philosophy in Midwest Studies, 1981) and "Rationality and Believing the
Impossible" (The Journal of Philosophy, 1983 and elsewhere).
