I begin with various cases that have been used to motivate the need for a more \u201csubjective\u201d kind of ought, and accompanying norms, in both the practical and theoretical domains. I outline a broad paradigm for thinking about such oughts, which I call <em>perspectivalist<\/em>. According to this paradigm, what one ought to do and believe is fixed by one\u2019s perspective, which is a kind of representation of the world (e.g. the propositions constituting one\u2019s evidence). My purpose will be to outline and defend an alternative view. I first sketch how what I call <em>dispositional <\/em>evaluations work, and the kinds of norms they give rise to (roughly: \u2018do what would manifest the best feasible dispositions!\u2019, or \u2018manifest the best feasible dispositions!\u2019). I outline my overall normative framework, in which dispositional evaluations\/norms play an important role, and show how it deals with cases that have been used to motivate so-called subjective oughts. I then implement the account in the context of a knowledge-first epistemology, and apply it to diagnose what is wrong with retaining belief in (putative) cases of defeat by higher-order evidence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dispositional evaluations In this talk I outline an epistemic framework based on a book I am writing, and apply the framework to a certain kind&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","_tribe_events_is_hybrid":"","_tribe_events_is_virtual":"","_tribe_events_virtual_video_source":"","_tribe_events_virtual_embed_video":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button_text":"","_tribe_events_virtual_linked_button":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_at":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_embed_to":[],"_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_event":"","_tribe_events_virtual_show_on_views":"","_tribe_events_virtual_url":"","footnotes":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"tags":[],"tribe_events_cat":[],"class_list":["post-4573","tribe_events","type-tribe_events","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/arche\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/4573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/arche\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/arche\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/arche\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/arche\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/4573\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4597,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/arche\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/4573\/revisions\/4597"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/arche\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/arche\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4573"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.st-andrews.ac.uk\/arche\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=4573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
