Philosophers defend, and often believe, controversial philosophical claims. Since they aren’t clueless, they are usually aware that their views are controversial—on some occasions, the views are definitely in the minority amongst the relevant specialist-experts. In addition, most philosophers are aware that they are not God’s gift to philosophy, since they admit their ability to track truth in philosophy is not extraordinary compared to that of other philosophers. In this paper I argue that in many real-life cases, such beliefs in controversial claims are irrational. This means that most philosophers have irrational philosophical beliefs.

拒绝专家共识合理吗？

哲学家捍卫并经常相信有争议的哲学主张。由于他们并非一无所知，他们通常都知道自己的观点是有争议的——在某些情况下，这些观点在相关专家中绝对是少数。此外，大多数哲学家都知道他们不是上帝赐予哲学的礼物，因为他们承认与其他哲学家相比，他们在哲学中追踪真理的能力并不出众。在本文中，我认为在许多现实生活中，这种对有争议的主张的信念是不合理的。这意味着大多数哲学家都有非理性的哲学信仰。
