The Epistemic Innocence of Irrational Beliefs
Bortolotti, Lisa (Professor of Philosophy, University of Birmingham)
Lisa Bortolotti argues that some irrational beliefs are epistemically innocent and deliver significant epistemic benefits that could not be easily attained otherwise. While the benefits of the irrational belief may not outweigh the costs, epistemic innocence helps to clarify the epistemic and psychological effects of irrational beliefs on agency.
