"The Metaepistemological Turn"
Session 2: In this session we'll talk about the general themes of the "metaepistemological turn" in the debate about permissivism. We'll focus on work by Horowitz, Greco+Hedden, Horowitz+Dogramaci, and me. A number of people have argued that metaepistemological considerations, and/or the idea that rationality should bear a close connection to accuracy motivates an impermissivist view. I think the opposite is true. We'll also talk about some of the methodological questions that "the metaepistemological turn" raises.
