Several philosophers and psychologists have characterized belief in conspiracy theories as a product of irrational reasoning. Proponents apparently resist revising their beliefs given disconfirming evidence tend to believe more than one conspiracy, even when the relevant are mutually inconsistent. In this paper, we bring leading views on theoretic closer together by exploring rationality under ...

In this work, we introduce a new and efficient solution approach for the problem of decision making under uncertainty, which can be formulated as in belief space, over possibly high-dimensional state space. Typically, to solve problem, one should identify optimal action from set candidates, according some objective. We claim that often generate an analogous yet simplified solved more efficientl...

The account I will be developing situates the concept of epistemically rational belief into a well-integrated and philosophically respectable general theory of rationality; it links the concept of warranted belief with the theory of knowledge; and it insists that the concept of justifie...
