Is Normative Uncertainty Irrelevant if Your Descriptive Uncertainty Depends on It?

According to ‘Excluders’, descriptive uncertainty – but not normative uncertainty – matters to what we ought to do. Recently, several authors have argued that those wishing to treat normative uncertainty differently from descriptive uncertainty face a dependence problem because one's descriptive uncertainty can depend on one's normative uncertainty. The aim of this paper is to determine whether the phenomenon of dependence poses a decisive problem for Excluders. I argue that existing arguments fail to show this, and that, while stronger ones can be found, Excluders can escape them.

如果您的描述性不确定性取决于它,规范性不确定性是否无关紧要?

根据“排除者”的说法,描述性不确定性——而非规范性不确定性——对我们应该做什么很重要。最近,一些作者认为,那些希望以不同于描述性不确定性的方式对待规范性不确定性的人面临依赖性问题,因为一个人的描述性不确定性可能取决于一个人的规范性不确定性。本文的目的是确定依赖现象是否对排除者构成决定性问题。我认为现有的论据未能证明这一点,而且,虽然可以找到更强大的论据,但排除者可以逃避它们。
