“…Assuming veritism, which says that accuracy is the fundamental source of purely epistemic value, we can give accuracy arguments for norms that govern credences by showing that, if you violate the norm, your credences are somehow suboptimal from the point of view of accuracy. Accuracy arguments have been given for Probabilism (Joyce 1998 , 2009 ; Pettigrew 2016a ), Bayes’ Rule (Greaves and Wallace 2006 ; Leitgeb and Pettigrew 2010 ; Briggs and Pettigrew 2020 ), the Principal Principle (Pettigrew 2013 ), the Principle of Indifference (Leitgeb and Pettigrew 2010 ; Pettigrew 2016b ), and norms governing peer disagreement (Levinstein 2015 ), higher-order evidence (Schoenfield 2016 ), and the permissibility or impermissibility of rationality (Horowitz 2014 ; Schoenfield 2019 ), among many others. If the accuracy arguments for Bayes’ Rule succeed, they tell against explanationism.…”
