Concentration Inequalities and Laws of Large Numbers under Epistemic Irrelevance
This paper presents concentration inequalities and laws of large numbers under weak assumptions of irrelevance, expressed through lower and upper expectations. The results are variants and extensions of De Cooman and Miranda’s recent inequalities and laws of large numbers. The proofs indicate connections between concepts of irrelevance for lower/upper expectations and the standard theory of mar...
متن کاملComputing with Numbers, Cognition and the Epistemic Value of Iconicity
In my paper I will rely on research by Grosholz (2007) considering, in particular, her thesis of the irreducibility of iconic representation in mathematics. Against this background, my aim is to discuss the epistemic value of iconicity in the case of different representations of numbers in elementary arithmetic. In order to make my point, I will bring in a case study selected from Leibniz’s wor...
متن کاملEpistemic Networks for Epistemic Commitments
The ways in which people seek and process information are fundamentally epistemic in nature. Existing epistemic cognition research has tended towards characterizing this fundamental relationship as cognitive or belief-based in nature. This paper builds on recent calls for a shift towards activity-oriented perspectives on epistemic cognition and proposes a new theory of ‘epistemic commitments’. ...
متن کاملEpistemic Responsibility without Epistemic Agency
This article discusses the arguments against associating epistemic responsibility with the ordinary notion of agency. I examine the various “Kantian” views which lead to a distinctive conception of epistemic agency and epistemic responsibility, in particular the one proposed by Pamela Hieronymi (2007). I try to explain why we can be held responsible for our beliefs in the sense of obeying norms...
متن کاملEpistemic Circularity and Epistemic Incommensurability
If I were to believe you are trustworthy just on your say-so, my reasoning would be infected with what is called epistemic circularity. I would be supposing a source is trustworthy by relying on that very source. Generally speaking, we tend to think this is a very bad idea. It is why we don’t bother asking politicians or salesmen whether they are honest. A well-known line of reasoning stemming ...
