Desc: | Concerning the rationality of action, permissivism is the standard view, the view according to which the requirements of rationality leave open multiple ways to satisfy them. For example, you may be required to pay your bills, but that leaves open paying by cash or credit. When it comes to the rationality of belief, however, many think permissiveness mistaken. The alternative view, which is labelled variously in the literature, but which I will call ''restrictivism" denies that there are options when it comes to meeting the demands of rationality for cognition. We'll take a selective look at the growing body of literature on this issue since the topic was first introduced by Roger White in 2005. Prerequisite: graduate standing or permission of the instructor. |
