- Title
BELIEVING EPISTEMIC CONTRADICTIONS.
- Authors
BEDDOR, BOB; GOLDSTEIN, SIMON
- Abstract
What is it to believe something might be the case? We develop a puzzle that creates difficulties for standard answers to this question. We go on to propose our own solution, which integrates a Bayesian approach to belief with a dynamic semantics for epistemic modals. After showing how our account solves the puzzle, we explore a surprising consequence: virtually all of our beliefs about what might be the case provide counterexamples to the view that rational belief is closed under logical implication.
