- Title
A Plea for Falsehoods.
- Authors
Comesaña, Juan
- Abstract
The article argues that falsehoods can be rationally believed they cannot be justifiably believed. It mentions leaves behind even the symbolic concession, and holds that false beliefs can be at best excused, but never have any positive normative status. It also mentions rationality of false beliefs can now be stated very succinctly and coarse-grained nature of the Humean theory lands it in trouble.
