Norm of Belief

Zusatztext Gibbons' excellent book . . . is extremely rewarding. Not only does he offer interesting answers to foundational questions about epistemic normativity! he engages with some important questions in practical reason in a way that few epistemologists have done . . . I strongly recommend the book to those who work on normativity. Informationen zum Autor John Gibbons is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford and a Fellow of St. Hilda's College. He received his PhD from Brown University. He has taught at New York University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He works on epistemology, action theory, and the philosophy of mind. Klappentext John Gibbons presents a new account of epistemic normativity. Belief seems to come with a built-in set of standards or norms-truth and reasonableness, for example-but which one is the fundamental norm of belief? He explains both the norms of knowledge and of truth in terms of the fundamental norm, the one that tells you to be reasonable.
