Fallibilism: Evidence and Knowledge

Fallibilism: Evidence and Knowledge

Jessica Brown

Oxford University Press
2018
sidottu
What strength of evidence is required for knowledge? Ordinarily, we often claim to know something on the basis of evidence which doesn't guarantee its truth. For instance, one might claim to know that one sees a crow on the basis of visual experience even though having that experience does not guarantee that there is a crow (it might be a rook, or one might be dreaming). As a result, those wanting to avoid philosophical scepticism have standardly embraced "fallibilism": one can know a proposition on the basis of evidence that supports it even if the evidence doesn't guarantee its truth. Despite this, there's been a persistent temptation to endorse "infallibilism", according to which knowledge requires evidence that guarantees truth. For doesn't it sound contradictory to simultaneously claim to know and admit the possibility of error? Infallibilism is undergoing a contemporary renaissance. Furthermore, recent infallibilists make the surprising claim that they can avoid scepticism. Jessica Brown presents a fresh examination of the debate between these two positions. She argues that infallibilists can avoid scepticism only at the cost of problematic commitments concerning evidence and evidential support. Further, she argues that alleged objections to fallibilism are not compelling. She concludes that we should be fallibilists. In doing so, she discusses the nature of evidence, evidential support, justification, blamelessness, closure for knowledge, defeat, epistemic akrasia, practical reasoning, concessive knowledge attributions, and the threshold problem.
Groups as Epistemic and Moral Agents

Groups as Epistemic and Moral Agents

Organised groups such as governments, corporations, charities and courts are an integral part of our lives. They provide services, sell goods, employ people, raise taxes, wage wars, and issue legal judgements. In our interactions with them, we routinely ascribe them mental states, speaking of what they know, want and intend. And we use these ascriptions in predicting what groups will do and assessing their responsibility for outcomes. For instance, in morally assessing the government's performance in the coronavirus pandemic, we might ask what the government knew about the virus at key decision points. And in attempting to predict Russia's response to the current war in Ukraine, we might ask what Russia believes about the West's resolve to defend Ukraine. This book takes these ordinary ways of thinking and talking seriously, assuming that at least some groups are agents with mental states on which they act. In particular, the book examines groups both as epistemic and moral agents providing non-summative accounts of group evidence, group belief, group justified belief, group knowledge, what it is for a group to act or believe for one reason rather than another, and when a group has an excuse for wrongdoing from blameless ignorance. These phenomena are crucial to the evaluation of the beliefs and actions of groups. Whether a group's belief is justified depends on its evidence and the reason for which it believes; whether it's praiseworthy or blameworthy for its actions depends on the reason for which it acted, as well as whether it is blamelessly ignorant of any wrongdoing. By providing a clearer view of central group phenomena, the book will help us assess the beliefs and actions of the powerful groups at work in our lives, whether governments, corporations, public sector bodies or third sector actors.

The Emotional Eating Solution: A Radical Path to Healing Through Self-Compassion and Reparenting
A groundbreaking, evidence-based new approach to healthy eating that helps readers understand the causes of their emotional eating and use this understanding to build resilience, self-acceptance, and physical and emotional health Hundreds of millions of Americans struggle with weight loss, body image, and health, yet despite decades of nutritional recommendations, fad diets, and modified eating habits, the problem becomes more pervasive every year. Jessica Brown knows why. A functional nutritionist and self-compassion teacher, she understands that applying external recommendations to an internal problem will never lead to lasting results. Instead, we need to uncover the reasons behind our eating habits and learn to trust and care for ourselves. Her radically different approach empowers readers to discover the self-beliefs that impact their relationship with food and learn to use self-compassion and reparenting to change those beliefs, cultivate self-trust, and increase emotional resilience to navigate life's challenges with grace. A therapeutic guide and practical plan in one, The Emotional Eating Solution will help readers: - uncover how past experiences have shaped their relationship with food and self-perception - improve their ability to accurately interpret hunger and fullness cues - enhance their capacity to self-regulate their nervous system and emotions - develop trust in their ability to handle emotional discomfort, reducing the reliance on food to compensate for perceived inadequacies By tapping into their compassionate hearts and utilizing reparenting techniques, readers can recognize and address the painful areas within, correct misconceptions about themselves to enhance their body image, and ultimately heal their relationship with food.
