Question
This thinker cited a Galton board to argue that an event that is determined must arise from a set of possibilities that narrow to one. In that paper, this thinker defined a “non-necessitating cause” via the example of a bomb linked to a Geiger counter. This thinker often used the example of paying a grocer for potatoes, as in a paper whose title concepts were contrasted with “institutional” ones by John Searle (“surl”). A book by this author of “Causality and Determination” and “On Brute Facts” introduced the idea of acting “under a description.” The title concept of that book holds if the performer of an action can say why they chose to do it. This author of Intention coined the term “consequentialism.” For 10 points, what philosopher revived virtue ethics in her paper “Modern Moral Philosophy”? ■END■
