This common-sense approach is embodied in claims like “I went to the kitchen because I wanted a drink†or “She took a coat because she thought it might rain and hoped to stay dryâ€. However\, the veracity of these common-sense psychological explanations has been challenged by experimental evidence (primarily from behavioural economics and social psychology) which appears to show that individuals are systematically irrational – that often we do not do what we do because of the reasons we have. Recently\, some of the same experimental evidence has also been used to level a somewhat different challenge at the common-sense view\, arguing that the overarching aim of reasoning is not to deliver better or more logical decisions for individual reasoners\, but to improve group decision making or to protect an individual’s sense of self. This paper explores the range of challenges that experimental work has been taken to raise for the common-sense approach and suggests some potential responses. Overall\, I argue that the experimental evidence should not (currently) lead us to a rejection of individual rationality.

Examples include becoming motivated by Twitter Likes and Retweets\, citation rates\, ranked lists of best schools\, and Grade Point Averages. We are vulnerable to value capture because of the competitive advantage that such pre-packaged value expressions have in our reasoning and our communications. But when we internalize such metrics\, we damage our own autonomy. In value capture\, we outsource the process of deliberating on our values. And that outsourcing cuts off one of the key benefits of personal deliberation. When we tailor our values to ourselves\, we can fine-tune them to fit our own particular psychology and place in the world. But in value capture\, we buy our values off the rack.

Intuitively\, we don’t attribute those assertions to the individuals performing them\, but to the groups. The question is: what kind of speech act is group assertion and how does it relate to individual assertion? Is it reducible to de second? In this work\, I defend an account based on having the authority to assert on behalf of the group. I take support from Lackey’s (2018) account of group assertion. I argue that her account has some important problems and I try to give a more succinct account of group assertion.

In this talk\, I discuss this interaction from both perspectives. In the first part\, I argue that whether non-experts should treat experts as authorities or advisors depends on the aim of moral inquiry which in turn varies with context. I propose a hybrid model: by default\, the aim of moral inquiry is moral understanding and non-experts should therefore treat moral experts as advisors. If\, however\, moral understanding is unavailable or only attainable at high risk\, moral knowledge becomes the aim of moral inquiry and non-experts should treat moral experts as authorities. In the second part\, I argue that we should be careful not to conceive of moral experts as completely analogous to non-moral experts. In particular\, we can expect that many moral experts will be those negatively affected by injustices. This creates special procedural obligations for non-experts in their pursuit of moral expertise.

Whilst theories of justification often seem detached and independent from social structures\, I aim to cast doubt over the apparent fairness of the process of engagement with one another\, as some epistemic agents are subjected to internal exclusion\, even though they are reasonable and engage with the rest of the group. This leads me to argue that members of oppressed groups who use affective experience as a source of justification are unduly excluded from epistemic exchanges. In contrast\, I explain why conspiracy theorists who argue on the basis of their affective experience should remain duly excluded.

First\, it introduces the concept logical akrasia (by analogy to epistemic akrasia). Second\, it discusses how logical akrasia relates to the standards of epistemic rationality\, and in particular\, how logical akrasia poses a challenge to the tenability of the controversial ï¬xed point thesis.
