Perspectives, Questions, and Epistemic Value
Many epistemologists endorse true-belief monism, the thesis that only true beliefs are of fundamental epistemic value. However, this view faces formidable counterexamples. In response to these challenges, we alter the letter, but not the spirit, of true-belief monism. We dub the resulting view âinquisitive truth monismâ, which holds that only true answers to relevant questions are of fundamental epistemic value. Which questions are relevant is a function of an inquirerâs perspective, which is characterized by his/her interests, social role, and background assumptions. Using examples of several different scientific practices, we argue that inquisitive truth monism outperforms true-belief monism

Inquiring Attitudes and Erotetic Logic: Norms of Restriction and Expansion
A fascinating recent turn in epistemology focuses on inquiring attitudes like wondering and being curious. Many have argued that these attitudes are governed by norms similar to those that govern our doxastic attitudes. Yet, to date, this work has only considered norms that might *prohibit* having certain inquiring attitudes (``norms of restriction''), while ignoring those that might *require* having them (``norms of expansion''). We aim to address that omission by offering a framework that generates norms of expansion for inquiring attitudes. The framework draws on inferential erotetic logic, which we explain and augment with some theorems. We explore several of the norms that it yields - some sympathetically, others unsympathetically

Twisted Conjugacy Classes in Lattices in Semisimple Lie Groups
Given a group automorphism , one has an action of
on itself by -twisted conjugacy, namely, .
The orbits of this action are called -conjugacy classes. One says that
has the -property if there are infinitely many
-conjugacy classes for every automorphism of . In this
paper we show that any irreducible lattice in a connected semi simple Lie group
having finite centre and rank at least 2 has the -property.Comment: 6 page
