This Element aims to explain why the higher-order evidence debate is interesting and important and proposes a new version of calibrationism to respond to higher-order evidence.
The higher-order evidence debate concerns how higher-order evidence affects the rationality of our first-order beliefs. This Element has two parts. The first part (Sections 1 and 2) provides a critical overview of the literature, aiming to explain why the higher-order evidence debate is interesting and important. The second part (Sections 3 to 6) defends calibrationism, the view that we should respond to higher-order evidence by aligning our credences to our reliability degree. The author first discusses the traditional version of calibrationism and explains its main difficulties, before proposing a new version of calibrationism called 'Evidence-Discounting Calibrationism.' The Element argues that this new version is independently plausible and that it can avoid the difficulties faced by the traditional version.

1. Introduction; 2. Major positions in the HOE debate; 3. Calibrationism and its main motivations; 4. The problem of ignoring evidence; 5. The conflict with conditionalization; 6. Evidence-discounting calibrationism; 7. Conclusion; References.
