‘The Ethics of Belief’ Reconsidered

Abstract

What is the relation of epistemic to ethical appraisal? Possible answers include: that epistemic appraisal is a sub- species of ethical appraisal— henceforth, for short, the special-case thesis ; thatpositive/negative epistemic appraisal is distinct from, but invariably associated with, positive/negative ethical appraisal—the correlation thesis ; that there is, not invariable correlation, but partial overlap, where positive/negative epistemic appraisal is associated with positive/ negative ethical appraisal—the overlap thesis ; that ethical appraisal is inapplicable where epistemological appraisal is relevant—the independence thesis ; that epistemic appraisal is distinct from, but analogous to, ethical appraisal—the analogy thesis . These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
