Epistemic responsibility without epistemic agency

Abstract: This article discusses the arguments against associating epistemic responsibility with the ordinary notion of agency. I examine the various "Kantian" views which lead to a distinctive conception of epistemic agency and epistemic responsibility, in particular the one proposed by Pamela Hieronymi (2007). I try to explain why we can be held responsible for our beliefs in the sense of obeying norms which regulate them without being epistemic agents

“…Reprenons une expérience de pensée proposée par Railton (1994, p. 84 TP a au moins deux conséquences intéressantes. Tout d'abord, si l'on définit, de manière minimale, l'akrasia ou incontinence épistémique comme la coexistence de la croyance que P et du jugement de second niveau selon lequel je ne devrais pas croire que P parce que je ne suis pas épistémique-ment justifié à croire en la vérité de P (Engel 2007 ;Hookway 2001;Ribeiro 2011) 10 , alors l'aliénation doxastique n'est pas réductible à l'incontinence épistémique. Dès lors, et de manière plus fortement contre-intuitive, l'incontinence épis-témique n'est pas nécessairement une source d'aliénation doxastique.…”
