Abstract

Can epistemic paternalistic practices make us better epistemic agents? While a satisfying answer to this question will ultimately rest at least partly on empirical findings, considering the epistemological discussion on evidence, knowledge, and epistemic virtues can be insightful. In this paper, Giada Fratantonio argues that we have theoretical reasons to believe that strong epistemic paternalistic practices may be effective at mitigating some evidential mistakes, in fostering true belief, and even for allowing the subject of the intervention to gain knowledge. However, we have reasons to expect that these practices will not be able to make the subject of the intervention an overall better epistemic agent at the dispositional level. She then considers weak epistemic paternalistic practices, e.g., epistemic nudging, and provides some reasons for optimism. Finally, Fratantonio considers the implications that these theoretical considerations have for education.

认识论上的家长制实践能让我们成为更好的认识论代理人吗?
认识论上的家长式做法能让我们成为更好的认识论主体吗?虽然对这个问题的满意答案最终将至少部分取决于实证研究结果,但考虑一下关于证据、知识和认识论美德的认识论讨论也会很有启发。在本文中,吉亚达-弗拉坦托尼奥(Giada Fratantonio)认为,我们有理论上的理由相信,强有力的认识论家长式做法可以有效地减少一些证据错误,促进真正的信仰,甚至让干预对象获得知识。然而,我们有理由认为,这些做法并不能使干预对象在处置层面上成为一个整体上更好的认识论主体。然后,她考虑了弱认识论家长式做法,如认识论引导,并提供了一些乐观的理由。最后,弗拉坦托尼奥探讨了这些理论考虑对教育的影响。
