 In this section we will look more closely at the possibilities for accommodating higher-order defeat. Even setting aside questions about how such defeat fits into the rest of our epistemological theory, there are several more local questions about how higher-order defeat works. What sort of principle could explain the intuitive verdicts in cases like Hypoxia? Which evidence and reasoning can agents like Aisha rely on in forming their beliefs, and under what circumstances? What determines which attitude, exactly, Aisha should have towards G after taking both her first-order and her higher-order evidence into account?
