Session IV: Friday, 16th April 2021, 11:00-12:30 US Central Time (= 17:00-18:30 GMT).
Speaker: Chris Ranalli (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam).
Title: “Integrity and Suspension of Judgment.”
Abstract: Some disagreements press on beliefs that are essential to who we are. I argue that if the Equal Weight View is true, then rationality can require us to make changes to who we are and what our personal lives are like by requiring us to change our identity- and meaning-conferring beliefs. This raises the question: can integrity of the self and meaning in life give us reasons to be noncompliant with the norms of rationality? According to what I call the Personal Partiality View, we sometimes have prudential reasons for not adjusting our beliefs in response to peer disagreement. Sometimes, suspending judgment is the wrong attitude because it harms oneself and others. I defend the Personal Partiality View and explore how it can account for some core steadfast and conciliatory intuitions.
