Overview

This analysis challenges the claim of belief involuntarism, suggesting epistemic agency may allow for intentional belief.

Key Points

  • The analysis casts doubt on the claim that believing at will is impossible, introducing nuances in our understanding of agency.
  • It dissects two prominent arguments for belief involuntarism, revealing methodological discrepancies that weaken their positions.
  • By suggesting we may be capable of intentional belief, the study opens up a discussion about the nature of epistemic agency.
  • The findings imply that if it's possible to believe at will, this supports the concept of real epistemic agency.
