Rational Belief
In Doubt truth to be a liar. New York: Oxford University Press (2006)
Abstract
This chapter argues that the common view that believing a contradiction is the nadir of rationality should be rejected, and that rational considerations may require one to believe contradictions. An informal model of rationality as an optimization procedure under constraint is given.Author's Profile
