dc.description.abstract | In this paper I attempt to develop a notion of responsibility (semantic
responsibility) that is to the notion of belief what epistemic responsibility is to
the notion of justification. 'Being semantically responsible' is shown to involve
the fulfilment of cognitive duties which allow the agent to engage in the kind
of reason-laden discourses which render her beliefs appropriately sensitive to
correction. The concept of semantic responsibility suggests that the notion of
belief found in contemporary philosophical debates about content implicitly
encompasses radically different classes of beliefs. In what follows I make
those different types explicit, and sketch some implications for naturalisation
projects in semantics and for accounts of the (putative) non-conceptual
content of perceptual experiences. | en |
