    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Dennett's intentional stance theory holds that intentionality is legitimately ascribed based on predictive utility, not intrinsic mental states.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If a care robot reliably produces the behavioral and relational outcomes constitutive of care, ascribing genuine intentional care to it is philosophically warranted.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The supporting argument's appeal to 'intentional care' smuggles in a Cartesian internalism that Dennett's functionalism has already put under serious pressure.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Nel Noddings's care ethics grounds caring relationships in responsiveness and attentiveness to the cared-for's needs, not in the metaphysical status of the carer.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Advanced care robots can be designed to model, track, and adaptively respond to individual patient needs in ways that satisfy Noddings's relational criteria for care.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim conflates the phenomenology of the carer's inner life with the morally relevant relational structure of the caring encounter, which care ethicists treat as distinct.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Actual and foreseeable robots in care are assistive robots that automate technical tasks
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.These robots are 'care robots' only in the behavioural sense of performing tasks in care environments
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The success of 'being cared for' relies on the intentional sense of care
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
