Select all that apply: In instrumentalism, patterns are3 pointsObjective ways to characterise propositional attitudes such as beliefs and desiresHow we attribute intentional states to each otherNot ‘real’ things in our ontologyAre composed of how we experience sensations and physically interact with the worldDescribed by our talk of the beliefs and desires
Solution
In the context of instrumentalism, the following statements apply:
- Patterns are how we attribute intentional states to each other.
- Patterns are not ‘real’ things in our ontology.
- Patterns are described by our talk of the beliefs and desires.
The other statements do not apply to instrumentalism. Instrumentalism does not consider patterns as objective ways to characterize propositional attitudes such as beliefs and desires. Also, it does not consider patterns as composed of how we experience sensations and physically interact with the world.
