▼a Something important is missing from the standard account of the connection between belief and action. The way a given belief should be expected to manifest itself in action is not a function of its informational content, but also depends systematically on the question that the belief answers. This dissertation articulates that dependence with a simple new theory of belief-guided action, explaining a range of ordinary patterns of behaviour that cannot be accounted for given the standard account of belief, desire and action. The appeal to questions is especially fruitful when it comes to explaining behaviour that displays some inconsistency, or which is less than ideally rational. I call this new account of belief and action inquisitive decision theory.Besides providing a new model for less than ideally rational behaviour, the inquisitive account of belief also suggests new ways of thinking about deductive reasoning and deliberation, and throws new light on certain long-standing issues in doxastic logic. It brings together a converging set of recent insights about the role of questions in cognition stemming from epistemology, the philosophy of language, the metaphysics of propositions, linguistic semantics, formal pragmatics and psychology. In addition, it builds on work in decision theory, computer science, behavioural economics and the philosophy of mathematics. |
