| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this project is to explain the causes and the effects of irrational and/or abnormal beliefs. The subproject 1 aims to explain the cause of abnormal beliefs (i.e., delusions). I proposed a hybrid theory of delusion formation, which combines the basic ideas of two influential theories; i.e., two-factor theory and prediction-error theory. The subproject 2 aims to explain the behavioural consequences of irrational beliefs or, more precisely, the the irrational incoherence between beliefs and behavioural outputs. I argue that many cases of belief-behaviour incoherence are explained in terms of what Ruth Millikan calls 'pushmi-pullyu representations' (PPRs).The outcomes of this project are incorporated in two forthcoming books from Routledge and Polity.
