Transparency and the ethics of belief
Philosophical Studies, 2015A central dispute in the ethics of belief concerns what kinds of considerations can be reasons for belief. Nishi Shah has recently argued that the correct explanation of transparency in doxastic deliberation—the psychological phenomenon that only considerations bearing on the truth of p can be deliberated from to conclude in believing that p—settles ...

This paper deals with the concept of positive learning (PL). The main goal is to provide a working definition of PL on which further refinements and extensions can be based. First, I formulate a list of desiderata for a definition of PL: I argue that a working definition of PL should (i) make the involved epistemic norms explicit, (ii) be flexible, and

In this paper I will address a few of the many questions that fall under the general heading of "the ethics of belief." In section I I will discuss the adequacy of what has come to be known as the "deontological conception of epistemic justification" in the light of our apparent lack of voluntary control over what we believe.

The Ethics of Belief and the Ethics of Teaching
Journal of Philosophy of Education, 1998Notwithstanding its obvious educational importance, the idea of an ethics of belief has been little explored by educational philosophers. The notion turns out to be more complex and to involve more difficulties than is usually supposed. Exploring these complexities and difficulties opens up many avenues of philosophical and educational inquiry.

In this chapter, I begin to make the case for considering the great, medieval Islamic philosophers—the falasifa—through the prism of contemporary, Western scholarship on the ethics of belief. Within the Islamic intellectual movement, I identify three types of thought that can be classified as Evidentialist, non-Evidentialist and anti-Evidentialist.
