No Reasons to Believe the False

I argue that if there are nondisabled reasons to believe p , then there cannot be nondisabled reasons to believe something incompatible with p . I first defend a restricted version of the view, which applies only to situations where the relevant agent has complete evidence. Then, I argue for a generalized version of the view, which holds regardless of the agent's evidence. As a related result, I show that, given plausible assumptions, there cannot be nondisabled reasons to believe something false.
