| Abstract
|
:
|
Brian Weatherson argues that it is not important for people to live up to their own principles. What matters, in both ethics and epistemology, is that they live up to the correct principles: they should do the right thing and they should believe rationally. So moral uncertainty should not be treated like factual uncertainty.
