Abstract

This chapter explains and defends obstructivism about epistemic vice, the view that epistemic vices are blameworthy or otherwise reprehensible character traits, attitudes, or ways of thinking that systematically obstruct the gaining, keeping, or sharing of knowledge. It explains how epistemic vices get in the way of knowledge and criticizes motivational accounts of epistemic vice. Obstructivism focuses on the epistemic consequences of epistemic vices and is a form of consequentialism. The focus in this chapter is on arrogance and its role in obstructing the acquisition and sharing of knowledge during preparations for the 2003 American invasion of Iraq. Epistemic vices are distinguished from mere cognitive defects and an account is given of different senses in which we might have responsibility for our own epistemic vices.
剖析恶习
这一章解释并捍卫了关于认知缺陷的阻碍主义,这种观点认为认知缺陷是应该受到谴责或以其他方式受到谴责的性格特征、态度或思维方式,它们系统地阻碍了知识的获取、保存或分享。它解释了认知的恶习是如何阻碍知识的,并批评了对认知恶习的动机性解释。阻挠主义关注的是认识错误的认识后果,是结果主义的一种形式。本章的重点是傲慢及其在2003年美国入侵伊拉克的准备过程中阻碍获取和分享知识的作用。认识论上的错误与单纯的认知缺陷是有区别的在不同的感觉中我们可能对自己的认识论错误负有责任。
