Hill, S. The relevance of belief outsourcing to whether arguments can change minds. (2024). Proceedings of the Aristotelian Society, 124 (2), pp. 191-196. DOI: 10.1093/arisoc/aoae010
Abstract
There is a wealth of evidence which indicates that arguments are not very efficient tools for changing minds. Against this scepticism, Dutilh Novaes (2023) presents evidence that, given the right social context, arguments sometimes play a significant role in belief revision. However, drawing on Levy (2021), I argue that the evidence Dutilh Novaes cites is compatible with the view that it is not arguments that change individual minds but instead belief outsourcing that occurs alongside the consideration of arguments. © 2024 The Aristotelian Society.
