Professor Thomas Kroedel (University of Hamburg): 'Epistemic Obligations'
When we look at particular cases, it seems plausible that we are sometimes obligated to have certain beliefs. Can we say anything more systematic about these obligations? It would be nice if we could formulate sufficient conditions for being obligated to believe. In the talk, I discuss what seem to be the best candidates for such conditions and argue that they fail, because the structure of what is invoked in the conditions is at odds with the structure of obligation.
