Is genuine self‐creation – understood as self‐directed value‐acquisition – possible? Many philosophers think not. I disagree. I explain why a recent attempt to solve the problem fails and use it to motivate an alternative proposal: indirect evaluative voluntarism. Indirect evaluative voluntarism is not only well‐suited to explaining how self‐creation is possible; it also unifies two important aspects of our doxastic lives, viz. responsibility for the acquisition of both evaluative and non‐evaluative beliefs.

间接评价唯意志主义


真正的自我创造——理解为自我导向的价值获取——可能吗？许多哲学家不这么认为。我不同意。我解释了为什么最近解决该问题的尝试失败了，并用它来激发另一种建议：间接评估唯意志主义。间接评价唯意志主义不仅非常适合解释自我创造如何可能；它还统一了我们信仰生活的两个重要方面，即。获得评价性和非评价性信念的责任。
