Resumen de II�Doxastic Correctness

Ralph Wedgwood

  • If beliefs are subject to a basic norm of correctness�roughly, to the principle that a belief is correct only if the proposition believed is true�how can this norm guide believers in forming their beliefs? Answer: this norm guides believers indirectly: believers are directly guided by requirements of rationality�which are themselves explained by this norm of correctness. The fundamental connection between rationality and correctness is probabilistic. Incorrectness comes in degrees; for beliefs, these degrees of incorrectness are measured by quadratic scoring rules, such as the so-called Brier score. This account is defended against objections; and its implications for suspension of judgement are explored.
