Choosing and Controlling Beliefs: What Do Philosophers Say?

Описание к видео Choosing and Controlling Beliefs: What Do Philosophers Say?

This video is about doxastic voluntarism, the view that belief is under our voluntary control. First, I explain exactly what doxastic voluntarism is and why it matters. Then, I discuss why many philosophers are involuntarists, and focus on Alston's influential argument for involuntarism. Finally, I raise some worries about Alston's case and briefly discuss why I think many philosophers are wrong about whether we can choose our beliefs.

A shoutout to my coauthor Mark Boespflug for much of this material. His website is here: https://sites.google.com/view/markboe...
