    • 2.Our access to truth-value is entirely mediated by cognitive processes; claiming independence collapses into incoherence.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Intellectual virtue shapes which propositions we can coherently affirm as true within rational discourse norms.
