چکیده
We argue that there is a tension between two monistic claims are the core of recent work in epistemic consequentialism. The first form monism about value, commonly known as veritism: accuracy sole final objective to be promoted domain. other class scoring rules: is, strictly proper rules only legitimate measures inaccuracy. These monisms, we argue, with each other. If has then alternatives rules. Our argument relies on way used contexts where rewarded, such education.

Epistemic consequentialists maintain that the epistemically right (e.g. the justified) is to be understood in terms of conduciveness to the epistemic good (e.g. true belief).

متن کاملConsequentialism and Actual Rules 0. Introduction
After considering some problems facing exiting versions of consequentialism, I present the schematic outline of an alternative version of consequentialism, which I call Actual Rule Consequentialism (ARC). I then consider three ways in which one might attempt to ground ARC by deriving it from some more fundamental principle. The first attempt is to derive ARC from a principle of fairness, the se...
متن کاملDo non-philosophers think epistemic consequentialism is counterintuitive?
Direct epistemic consequentialism is the idea that X is epistemically permissible i X maximizes epistemic value. It has received lots of attention in recent years and is widely accepted by philosophers to have counterintuitive implications. There are various reasons one might suspect that the relevant intuitions will not be widely shared among non-philosophers. This paper presents an initial em...
متن کاملScoring Rules and Consensus
In this paper we consider that voters rank order a set of alternatives and a scoring rule is used for obtaining a set of winning alternatives. The scoring rule we use is not previously fixed, but we analyze how to select one of them in such a way that the collective utility is maximized. In order to generate that collective utility, we ask voters for additional information: agents declare which...
