title = "An argument for permissivism from safespots",
abstract = "I present an argument against the thesis of Uniqueness and in favour of Permissivism. Counterexamples to Uniqueness are provided, based on {\textquoteleft}Safespot{\textquoteright} propositions – i.e. a proposition that is guaranteed to be true provided the subject adopts a certain attitude towards it. The argument relies on the following plausible principle: If S knows that her believing p would be a true belief, then it is rationally permitted for S to believe p. One motivation for denying this principle – viz. opposition to {\textquoteleft}epistemic consequentialism{\textquoteright} – is briefly discussed.",
