... is at stake, as long as the “ought” is one of responsibility, not

itions about cases like the Train Cases as decisive against their view.
They can respond by arguing that the intuitions at work, though real,
are misdescribed...

... of the attractions of the proposal offered in the present
essay is that it promises to end this standoff by showing us how to bring
together the seemingly conflicting intuitions of Causalists and Eviden-
tialists (that is, two-boxers and one-boxers). Briefly, this compromise

... be contrasted with more state-oriented epistemic norms, which tell us which states to be in (rather than which states to get into). 2 I'll discuss epistemic norms for states a bit later in the paper.

argument, on whose merits this is not the place to comment.
The evidentialist argument presupposes that in Newcomb-like cases we should ignore
the causal independence of the relevant state of the world (what is in the opaque box) on
the agent’s decision (“one-boxing...

soning to go off the rails, this fact is seldom acknowledged by evidentialists.

In the Essays on the Intellectual Powers Reid presents us with what he calls “first principles” ( Reid 2002, 6.5 ) that declare consciousness...

This model also can explain the followability and transmission differences noted above, capturing a wide range of both evidentialist and pragmatist insights. The generality of our account is furthermore advantageous since it offers a framework for thinking about...

... of evidential support that falls outside this range, but I argued that the prospects of this strategy look bleak. So far, this is bad news for conciliationism: if we look at the peer disagreement debate purely in evidentialist terms, conciliationism will not succeed. I then argued for some good news...

... to the agent, we can treat it as a ‘result’ in the same way that we considered truth to be a value resulting from the choice over beliefs. Similarly, an internalist evidentialist might think that the value in belief has to do with justification, and adheres even if the belief is false. The fact...
