It might initially appear impossible to inquire into whether p while trusting someone that p. At the very least, it might appear that doing so would be irrational. In this paper, I shall argue that things are not as they appear. Not only is it possible for a person to inquire into whether p while trusting someone that p, it is very often rational. Indeed, combining inquiry and trust in this way is an epistemic balancing act central to a well-lived epistemic life.

探究与信任：认知平衡行为

最初似乎不可能询问p是否信任某人p。至少，这样做似乎是不合理的。在本文中，我将论证事情并不像看上去那样。一个人不仅可以在信任某人p的同时询问p是否存在，而且通常是理性的。事实上，以这种方式将探究和信任结合起来是一种认知平衡行为，对于美好的认知生活至关重要。
