However, I also defend a negative claim that open-mindedness sometimes hinders the achievement of some basic epistemic goals. Open-mindedness is only epistemically beneficial if one has decent evaluative skills. These evaluative skills can be understood in several ways: as the social skill to determine whether another person is trustworthy or has mutual interests; or as the evaluative skill to determine whether certain argument or piece of evidence is truth-conducive. In the absence of sufficient evaluative skills and for low degrees of open mindedness, it seems plausible that open-mindedness will not be epistemically fruitful.<\/p>\n<p>Please click <a href=\"https:\/\/video.uva.nl\/media\/LIRa+seminar+on+2021-05-06+by+Hein+Duijf\/0_1st18zal\">here<\/a> for the recording of the talk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Hein Duijf<br \/>\nDate and Time: Thursday, May&nbsp;6th 2021, 16:30-18:00, Amsterdam time.<br \/>\nVenue: online.<br \/>\nTitle: Should one be open-minded?<\/p>\n<p>Abstract.
