Epistemic Permissivists face a special problem about the relationship between our firstand higher-order attitudes. They claim that rationality often permits a range of doxastic responses to the evidence. Given plausible assumptions about the relationship between your firstand higher-order attitudes, I show that you can’t be on the edge of the range, so there can’t be a range at all. Permissivism, in its traditional form, can’t be right. I consider new ways of developing Permissivism to avoid my argument, but they have problems of their own.
