摘要：Does a coherentist version of rationality issue requirements on states? Or does it issue requirements on processes? This paper evaluates the possibility of process-requirements.It argues that there are two possible definitions of state- and process-requirements: a satisfactionbased definition and a content-based definition.I demonstrate that the satisfaction-based definition is inappropriate.It does not allow us to uphold a clear-cut distinction between state- and process-requirements.We should therefore use a content-based definition of state- and process-requirements.However,a content-based definition entails that rationality does not issue process-requirements.Content-based processrequirements violate the principle that ‘rationality requires’ implies ‘can satisfy’.The conclusion of this paper therefore amounts to a radical rejection of process-requirements of rationality.
