I’ll start by giving some background on the topic more generally and presenting some problems that have been raised for it in the literature\, and then spend most of the time on Andersen and Kappel’s article “Epistemic consequentialism as a metatheory of inquiry”. Here is the abstract for their article: \nThe overall aim of this article is to reorient the contemporary debate about epistemic consequentialism. Thus far the debate has to a large extent focused on whether standard theories of epistemic justification are consequentialist in nature and therefore vulnerable to certain trade-off cases where accepting a false or unjustified belief leads to good epistemic outcomes. We claim that these trade-offs raise an important—yet somewhat neglected—issue about the epistemic demands on inquiry. We first distinguish between two different kinds of epistemic evaluation\, viz.\, backing evaluation and outcome evaluation\, and then go on to outline and discuss a consequentialist metatheory about the right combinations of decision procedures to adopt in inquiry. Note that the piece is exploratory in the following sense: we try to explore epistemic evaluation in consequentialist terms\, which involves stating a form of epistemic consequentialism\, but also pointing to what non-consequentialist alternatives might be. Rather than trying to argue decisively for a particular conclusion\, we aim to outline various intricate issues in an underexplored area of theorizing. In the course of doing this\, we’ll transpose some well-known themes from discussions of consequentialism in ethics to the current debate about consequentialism in epistemology\, e.g.\, agent-neutrality\, options\, and side-constraints.

Titelbaum. This is the abstract for the paper: \nAbstract: Over the past two decades\, a new concept has gained prominence in epistemology: “epistemic standards”. We catalog the functional roles of epistemic standards\, including their role in explaining reasonable (philosophical) disagreement\, if there is any. Given these roles\, the nature of epistemic standards should be of interest to permissivists\, uniqueness theorists\, subjectivists\, and objectivists alike\, despite their somewhat different understandings of standards’ normative role. Our central question is: What are the real mental phenomena in virtue of which an agent counts as having a particular set of epistemic standards? We consider whether agents have standards in virtue of their beliefs\, their epistemic dispositions\, their intentions/plans\, their epistemic goals/desires\, or their epistemic (“confirmational”) commitments. We ultimately find the last possibility most promising.

Pedersen) \n\n\nThe dominant approach in the literature on risk is to adopt a monist stance by taking the probabilistic notion of risk to be the only proper notion. However\, there is a growing philosophical literature on non-probabilistic notions of risk. In this paper\, we first briefly outline the current state of the debate with regards to non-probabilistic notions of risk and then present and discuss different forms that pluralism about risk could take\, drawing on pluralist ideas in ethics\, epistemology\, and the philosophies of truth and logic. In the last section\, we investigate how each type of risk pluralism will assess a given thought experiment which will help to highlight their differences and identify predictions for further experimental work on risk pluralism.
