On the epistemic rationality and significance of self-fulfilling beliefs

Some propositions are not likely to be true overall, but if you believe them. Appealing the platitude that belief aims at truth, it has become increasingly popular defend view such epistemically rational believe. However, I argue this runs into trouble when we consider connection between what’s and practically do. conclude by discussing how rejecting bears on three other epistemological issues. First, we’re able uncover a flaw in common argument for permissivism. Second, can generate problem prominent versions of epistemic consequentialism. Finally, better understand rationality truth: is guide rather than beliefs.
