Grit
Ethics ( IF 10.8 ) Pub Date : 2019-01-01 , DOI: 10.1086/700029
Jennifer M. Morton , Sarah K. Paul

As psychologists have emphasized, achieving difficult, long-term goals requires the capacity for perseverance, or “grit.” We argue that grit is distinct from familiar philosophical notions like willpower and continence. Specifically, grit has an important epistemic dimension: quitting is often caused by a loss of confidence that continued effort will result in success. Correspondingly, successful exercises of grit often involve “epistemic resilience” in the face of setbacks suggesting that success is not forthcoming. We argue that resilient reasoning can be epistemically rational to some extent, though it depends in part on whether the agent’s circumstances involve severe material scarcity or oppression.

砂砾

正如心理学家所强调的那样,实现困难的长期目标需要坚持不懈的能力或“勇气”。我们认为毅力与意志力和节制等熟悉的哲学概念不同。具体来说,毅力有一个重要的认知维度:戒烟通常是由于对继续努力会带来成功的信心丧失所致。相应地,成功的毅力练习往往涉及面对挫折时的“认知弹性”,这表明成功不会到来。我们认为,弹性推理在某种程度上可以是认知理性的,尽管这部分取决于代理人的情况是否涉及严重的物质稀缺或压迫。
