Abstract

A considerable literature has grown up around the claim of Uniqueness, according to which evidence rationally determines belief. It is opposed to Permissivism, according to which evidence underdetermines belief. This paper highlights an overlooked third possibility, according to which there is no rational doxastic attitude. I call this 'Nihilism'. I argue that adherents of the other two positions ought to reject it but that it might, nevertheless, obtain at least sometimes.

证据虚无主义

摘要

关于“唯一性”的主张已发展出大量文献，根据这些证据，理性地确定了信念。它与容忍主义相反，根据容忍主义，证据不足决定了信仰。本文强调了一种被忽视的第三种可能性，根据这种第三种可能性，没有理性的直觉态度。我称之为“虚无主义”。我认为，其他两个立场的拥护者都应该拒绝它，但是尽管如此，它至少有时会有所收获。
