Believing For a Reason

Turri, J. (2011). Believing for a reason. Erkenntnis, 74(3), 383–397.

This paper explains what it is to believe something for a reason. I argue that you believe something for a reason just in case the reason non-deviantly causes your belief. In the course of arguing for my thesis, I present a new argument that reasons are causes and offer an informative account of causal non-deviance.
