Each of these claims expresses a candidate epistemic norm, a proposal about howan agent’s doxastic attitudes must be in so far as she is to count as epistemically rational.Perhaps neither is obviously correct; TB in particular is clearly in need of greater specificity(how, for instance, is one to trade off between the dual demands of believing truths andavoiding believing falsehoods?). But each, I think, has at least a certain ring of plausibilityto it, a sense that if we haven’t yet stated things in quite the proper way, we’re at least onthe right path.
