Epistemological egoism and agent-centered norms
In Trent Dougherty (ed.), Evidentialism and its Discontents. Oxford University Press. pp. 17 (2011)
Abstract
Agent-centered epistemic norms direct thinkers to attach different significance to their own epistemically relevant states than they attach to the similar states of others. Thus, if S and T both know, for certain, that S has the intuition that P, this might justify S in believing that P, yet fail to justify T in believing that P. I defend agent-centeredness and explain how an agent-centered theory can accommodate intuitions that seem to favor agent-neutrality.Author's Profile
