Anything but the truth
Synthese 199 (1-2):535-549 (2020)
Abstract
Fundamental epistemic values are values that best explain some epistemic evaluations. But there are, I argue, no epistemic evaluations which are best explained by positing truth as an epistemic value. So truth is not a fundamental epistemic value.Author's Profile
