Handout of the talk
Abstract
False belief is in some sense bad, and true belief good. Surely
something along roughly these lines is right. But it remains to
specify the appropriate senses of “bad’ and “good”, to identify the
appropriate logical structure for these norms, to consider why they
hold, and to investigate their place in epistemology. My aim today
is to venture some tentative answers to these questions.
