Zusammenfassung: | This paper sympathetically considers the idea that intellectual loyalty is a virtue. Intellectual loyalty is characterized as a species of loyalty, and some potential problems for the idea that intellectual loyalty is a virtue are considered: I argue that it is possible to be intellectually loyal and that intellectual loyalty is not a species of unappealing dogmatism. In defense of this, I draw connections between intellectual loyalty and Frankfurt’s idea of the unthinkable, Price’s idea of refusing to believe, and Wittgenstein’s idea of hinges. |
