Epistemic deontologism and the voluntarist strategy against doxastic involuntarism [PDF]
, 2011 According to the deontological conception of epistemic justification, a belief is justified when it is our obligation or duty as rational creatures to believe it.

Perspectivism, Deontologism and Epistemic Poverty [PDF]
