Ethnography and Sister Sciences: Why Refuse Assistance? A Reply to Weeks
反驳了社会科学家对信念归因中知识论困难的两种常见回应，主张引入认知科学的约束来改进社会科学实践。
Social scientists (most recently John Weeks) tend to reply to arguments about epistemological difficulties for belief ascription with two responses. An epistemological response goes: Behavioral evidence for underlying beliefs `is all we have and all we need'. A metaphysical response argues that beliefs, being merely instrumental entities are not really subject to worries about underdetermination. In this article, I argue that these responses are inadequate, and that social science practice can be greatly improved by incorporating cognitive-science constraints into the practice of ascribing beliefs.
