Epistemic paternalism is the practice of interfering with someone’s inquiry, without their consent, for their own epistemic good. In this chapter, I explore the relationship between epistemic paternalism and two other epistemological theses: epistemic permissivism and standpoint epistemology. I argue that examining this relationship is fruitful because it sheds light on a series of cases in which epistemic paternalism is unjustified and brings out notable similarities between epistemic permissivism and standpoint epistemology.
This talk was given at Australian National University in September 2019.
The paper is now published in a book titled _Epistemic Paternalism Reconsidered: Conceptions, Justifications, and Implications_. You can download the paper for free here: philpapers.org/rec/JACEPE-2
