Science is among humanity’s greatest achievements, yet scientific censorship rarely studied empirically. We explore the social, psychological, and institutional causes consequences of (defined as actions aimed at obstructing particular ideas from reaching an audience for reasons other than low quality). Popular narratives suggest that driven by authoritarian officials with dark motives, such dogmatism intolerance. Our analysis suggests often scientists, who are primarily motivated...
The American political landscape exhibits significant polarization. People’s beliefs cluster around two main camps. However, many of the issues with respect to which these camps disagree seem be rationally orthogonal. This feature raises an epistemic challenge for partisan. If she is justified in consistently adopting party line, it must true that her side reliable on are subject disagreements. It would then follow other anti-reliable a host orthogonal issues. Yet, difficult find...
Abstract A pervasive feature of democracy is disagreement. In general, when we encounter disagreement from someone who at least more reliable than chance, this puts some pressure on us to moderate our beliefs. But raises the specter asymmetric compliance – it’s not obvious what do beliefs but other party refuses so. Whereas an elegant solution available it comes how can respond higher-order evidence while still preserving democratic fairness, I argue that no such forthcoming consider zetetic...
Abstract Epistemic paternalism involves interfering with the inquiry of others, without their consent, for own epistemic good. Recently, such has been discussed as a method getting public to have more accurate views on important policy matters. Here, I discuss novel problem paternalism— spillovers . The arises because what matters rational belief is one’s total evidence, and further, individual pieces evidence can complex interactions. Because this, justified requires would-be paternalist be...
Abstract This paper argues for the existence of a certain type defeater one’s belief that P —the presence social incentives not to share evidence against P. Such pressure makes it relatively likely there is unpossessed would provide defeaters because we have lopsided subset. offers, I suggest, rational reconstruction core strand argument in Mill’s On Liberty. A consequence on morally and politically laden issues particular, high degree doxastic openness might be appropriate.

 Are immigration restrictions compatible with liberalism? Recently, Freiman and Hidalgo (2016) have argued that conflict the core commitments of liberalism. A society in place may well be optimal some desired respects, but it is not liberal, they argue. So if you care about liberalism more deeply than restrictions, should give up on restrictionism. You can’t hold to both. I argue here many contractual, economic, associational liberties seem justified by considerations other liberty –...
This paper explores some key commitments of the idea that it can be rational to do what you believe ought not do. I suggest there is a prima facie tension between this and certain plausible coherence constraints on agency. propose way resolve tension. While akratic agents are always irrational, they practically as many authors assume. Rather, "inverse" akratics like Huck Finn fail in distinctively theoretical way. What explains why either theoretically or irrational? true because an agent's...
Abstract In philosophical work on the ethics of conversational exchange, much has been written regarding speaker side—i.e., rights and duties we have as speakers. This paper explores relatively neglected topic pertaining to listeners’ side exchange. Following W.K. Clifford, argue that it's fruitful think our epistemic resources common property . Furthermore, listeners a key role in maintaining improving these resources, perhaps more important than We develop this idea by drawing from Hugo...
Abstract Censorship involves, inter alia, adopting a certain type of epistemic policy. While much has been written on the harms and benefits free expression associated rights thereof, preconditions justified censorship are relatively underexplored. In this paper, I argue that examining intrapersonal norms how we ought to treat evidence might come us over time can shed light interpersonal generation sharing relevant in context censorship. The upshot is requires censor meet very high burden...

Abstract According to G. A. Cohen, the principles of justice are insensitive facts about human moral limitations. This assumption allows him mount a powerful defense socialism. Here, I present dilemma for Cohen. On one hand, if such socialism is be realized through collective property ownership, then information problem renders ideal incoherent, not merely infeasible. other incorporate private ownership productive assets, Cohen loses resources distinguish his view from capitalism.
