    2 perspectives
    Reason for 1 of 2
    ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason for 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Believing the denial of a known proposition is psychologically impossible only for beings whose belief states are perfectly transparent to themselves.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
