Abstract

SummaryA distinction is drawn between prima facie duties and absolute duties . It is noted that the epistemic concept of confirmation is similar in fundamental respects to that of requirement. Hence we can distinguish between saying of something that it is prima facie probable for a subject S and saying of it that it is absolutely probable for S. Other analogies between moral and epistemic reasoning are noted.RésuméUne distinction est etablie entre des devoirs prima facie et des devoirs absolus . On notera que le concept épistémique de confirmation est fondamentale‐ment semblable à celui ?on;exigence. On peut done distinguer entre dire de quelque chose qu'elle est prima facie probable pour un sujet S et dire qu'elle est absolument probable pour S. ?on;autres analogies entre raisonnement moral et épistémique sont relevées.ZusammenfassungEs wird eine Unterscheidung gemacht zwischen prima facie Pflichten und absoluten Verpflichtungen . Es ist zu bemerken, dass der erkenntnistheoretische Begriff der Bestätigung in grundlegenden Beziehungen demjenigen der Forderung ähnlich ist. Wir können daher unterscheiden zwischen von etwas sagen, das es prima facie wahrscheinlich ist für ein Subjekt S uns sagen, dass es absolut wahrscheinlich ist für S. Es werden weitere Analogien zwischen moralischen und erkenntnistheoretischen Argumenten fest‐gehalten
