Title: Brian Hedden, Sydney
Uniqueness and Metaepistemology
We defend Uniqueness, the claim that given a body of total evidence, there
is a uniquely rational doxastic state that it is rational for one to be
in. Epistemic rationality doesn't give you any leeway in forming your
beliefs. To this end, we bring in two metaepistemological pictures about
the roles played by rational evaluations. Rational evaluative terms serve
to guide our practices of deference to the opinions of others, and also to
help us formulate contingency plans about what to believe in various
situations. We argue that Uniqueness vindicates these two roles for
rational evaluations, while Permissivism clashes with them.
