This paper develops and defends novel accounts of accurate and reasonable doubt. We take a cue from Sosa's telic epistemic normative picture to argue that one’s degree of doubt that p is accurate just in case it matches the level of veritic risk involved in believing that p. In turn, on this account, reasonable doubt is doubt that is generated by a properly functioning cognitive capacity with the function of encoding veritic risk.

什么是合理怀疑？哲学研究 Sosa 的 “认识论解释” 特刊

本文发展并捍卫了准确和合理怀疑的新颖描述。我们从 Sosa 的 telic 认识规范图中汲取线索，论证一个人对 p 是否准确的怀疑程度，以防万一它与相信 p 所涉及的真实风险水平相匹配。反过来，出于这个原因，合理怀疑是由具有编码真实风险功能的正常运作的认知能力产生的怀疑。
