22. A Plea for Complexity:The Normative Assessment of Groups’ Responses to Testimony

Author

Nottelmann, Nikolaj, Broncano-Berracal, Fernando, and Carter, J. Adam

Abstract

The epistemic evaluation of group performance in the face of testimony and disagreement is a more complex matter than has so far been explicitly acknowledged in the literature. Not least, often it is far from clear whether our evaluations of a group’s responses to testimony are primarily epistemic or moral, and, in the latter case, how epistemic standards play into our moral assessment. For example, it is difficult to keep apart a group’s beliefs from its mere acceptances or pretensions for its purposes of communication. Further, arguably relevant criteria of groupness, group membership, and group belief vary according to our evaluative interests and perspectives. This chapter discuss an array of such perspectives.

Abstract

W.K. Clifford is widely known for his emphatic motto that it is wrong, always everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence. In fact, that dictum and Clifford's condemnation of a scheming self-deceptive shipowner sum up how his ethics of belief is most often remembered and how it has been subsequently interpreted. In contrast to other recent interpretations, we argue that the motto is misleading as a guide to Clifford's position. It is best understood as essentially a rhetorical flourish. Moreover, in important ways the scheming shipowner is not stereotypical of the kind of believer Clifford thought blameworthy. A careful study of Clifford's various writings on the ethics of belief finally reveals him not to be an evidentialist in the Humean tradition. Rather, inspired by Charles Darwin's work in moral psychology, he applied an evolutionary-functional virtue ethics to the doxastic realm. This perspective allows a fruitful examination of his engagement with contemporaries like Matthew Arnold. It also allows us to recognize him as a predecessor to modern attributionist accounts of blameworthy belief. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

30. A CRITIQUE OF LAURENCE BONJOUR’S CENTRAL ARGUMENTS FOR A PRIORI FALLIBILISM

Author

Nottelmann, Nikolaj

Subjects
Philosophy
Abstract

This paper urges that Laurence BonJour fails to make the case for an all-out a priori fallibilism “as clear as anything philosophical could be.” Firstly, the paper introduces a number of distinctions of vital importance to the relevant debate. On the basis of those distinctions, it is argued that several interesting a priori infallibilist claims are not targeted by BonJour’s central a priori fallibilist arguments. After this, the paper confronts BonJour’s arguments on their own terms, attempts to fairly regiment them, and ensuingly brings out their weaknesses, thus regimented.
