I am indebted to Avishai Margalit, Pasquale Pasquino and Cass Sunstein for helpful discussions and detailed comments on earlier drafts. I have also greatly profited from Eric Dickson’s commentary and from the general discussion at the conference on Epistemologies of Rational Choice, NYU, December 3—4, 2004.
