Published: 01 April 2021
...David James Barnett Is self-knowledge a requirement of rationality, like consistency, or means-ends coherence? Many claim so, citing the evident impropriety of asserting, and the alleged irrationality of believing, Moore-paradoxical propositions of the form < p , but I don't believe that p...

...Michael Caie An attractive approach to the semantic paradoxes holds that cases of semantic pathology give rise to indeterminacy. What attitude should a rational agent have toward a proposition that it takes to be indeterminate in this sense? Orthodoxy holds that rationality requires that an agent...

...J. Robert G. Williams Revisionary theories of logic or truth require revisionary theories of mind. This essay outlines nonclassically based theories of rational belief, desire, and decision making, singling out the supervaluational family for special attention. To see these nonclassical theories...

However, the accuracy requirement...

Does fully believing a proposition require having maximal confidence in it? Are rational beliefs closed...

... this akratic combination of attitude-states involves irrationality. One plausible explanation of why you're irrational is that you violate a requirement of “structural” rationality that prohibits you from having this combination. In other words, the rational code requires, roughly, that you not both believe...

... of practical reason, if you are rationally justified
in acting a certain way, then you are also rationally required to act in that
way. On this view, whether an action is rationally both justified and required
is determined by the reasons for the action, all-things-considered. If the all-
things-considered...

this will not entail anything about their capacity to render actions ratio-

can be compared along that dimension, yielding a notion of strength in
generating rational requirements.

... steps in the argument that are invalid. We can grant, as the argument assumes, that a credal state is defective insofar as it is guaranteed to be less accurate than some other credal state. It doesn't follow, however, that probabilistic coherence is rationally required. For there are cases in which...

But there is a broader (although still prudential) sense of ‘rational’ in which she acts irrationally—she acts against her long-term self-interest. She is rationally required, in this broader sense, to care about her future...

After setting out the basic plan in chapter 1, the first agenda item, tackled in chapter 2, is to show how a reasons-based account of rationality can explain coherence requirements on beliefs and intentions. Take, for example, the rational requirement not to have inconsistent intentions. Lord shows...
