- W4205503608 abstract "It is impossible to hold patently contradictory beliefs in mind together at once. Why? Because we know that it is impossible for both to be true. This impossibility is a species of rational necessity, a phenomenon that uniquely characterizes the relation between one person’s beliefs. I argue that the unity of the rational mind—what makes it <italic>one</italic> mind—is what explains why, given what we already believe, we <italic>can’t</italic> believe certain things and <italic>must</italic> believe certain others in this special sense. And what explains this is that beliefs and the inferences by which we acquire them are constituted by a particular kind of endorsement of those very states and acts. This, in turn, entails that belief and inference are essentially <italic>self-conscious</italic>: to hold a belief or to make an inference is at the same time to know that one does. An examination of the nature of belief and inference, in light of the phenomenon of rational necessity, reveals how the unity of the rational mind is a function of our knowledge of ourselves as bound to believe the true. Rational self-consciousness is the form of mental togetherness." @default.
