 20th WCP: Can a truth value have causal power? A discussion of John Gibbons' "Truth in Action"
On the basis of some examples John Gibbons tries to show that the notion of similarities and differences between different cases of events reveals the relevance of relational properties, which are of causal relevance.
As I read Gibbons text he suggests that even all the elements that look differently would be adjusted including the assumed sameness of the set of dispositional beliefs, there would remain always one important feature that could never be similar, and this is the set of beliefs that is causally implicated in the action.
Gibbons himself has a mental representation of the casting a shadow, but as he believes that it is not performed intentionally, he behaves according to his belief that it is not performed intentionally, however, he himself might have behaved differently if he had taken this casting a shadow intentionally.
