In this paper I explain this dubious through a zetetic consequentialist account, ZCA, which claims that re-checking is prohibited when the expected zetetic utility of re-checking is outweighed by the expected zetetic utility of the other lines of inquiry S would like to undertake but cannot because she is re-checking. I show that ZCA satisfies two desiderata: neutrality (lacking controversial commitments) and extension adequacy (explaining all the relevant cases). Then I argue that ZCA is not an epistemic account and that, therefore, incessant checking is epistemically flawless but might be zetetically criticisable. To strengthen my argument, I show that Friedman\u2019s (2019) account, that claims that incessant checking is epistemically criticisable, is unsatisfactory because does not satisfy the two desiderata.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Bio<\/em><br>Ignasi Gil is a predoctoral researcher in the Department of Logic and Theoretical Philosophy at Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) and an FPI fellow working on the project &#8220;The Nature and Normativity of Inquiry&#8221; (PID2021-123938NB-100). His research primarily focuses on exploring the tensions between zetetic and epistemic normativity, as well as their grounding. Additionally, he has a keen interest in higher-order evidence and the doxastic profiles of individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
