SUMMARY:Making Inferential Commitments Explicit
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: Reflection principles are principles intended to exp
 ress the soundness of a given theory. By Gödel’s theorems\, these are l
 ogically independent of the corresponding theories. Still\, they appear to
  enjoy a special epistemological status. The idea relates to the fact that
  there seems to be something wrong with accepting a theory without somehow
  acknowledging its soundness. It has been suggested\, in turn\, that such 
 principles should be in some way available to those accepting a theory. In
 terestingly\, the extension of theories by such principles enables one not
  only to live up to one’s epistemic responsibilities but\, furthermore\,
  to establish fascinating proof-theoretic results. These developments res
 ulted in the establishment of a fruitful research program. However\, the c
 ogency of such a program has been questioned. In particular\, Walter Dean 
 argued that the project clashes with the idea of epistemic stability. He c
 ontends that the principles are not immediately available\, and so the ide
 a requires further defense. In the present talk\, I aim to show that the a
 ddition of reflection principles is legitimate and that the project concer
 ned with them is in good shape. I will argue that the available responses 
 to Dean’s arguments are inadequate for those who want to defend interest
 ing versions of these ideas. Moreover\, I will present three different way
 s in which some form of reflection can be made satisfactorily available fo
 r those endorsing a given theory.
