Permissivism is the view that there are evidential situations that rationally permit more than one attitude toward a proposition.

I give two positive arguments for IaBP; the first involves epistemic supererogation and the second involves doubt.

I argue that, in voting groups, optimizing individual reliability can conflict with optimizing collective reliability. This (...) |
