thesis
posted on 2020-01-29, 19:35 authored by Philippa Malone
This thesis considers whether we should be allowed make choices to be ignorant. I discuss this question by considering how choices to be ignorant affect our ability to make rational choices, to act morally, and be confident in our beliefs.
