Epistemic norms play an increasingly important role in many current debates in epistemology and beyond. Paramount among these are debates about belief, action, and assertion. Three primary questions organize the literature. What epistemic requirements constrain appropriate belief? What epistemic requirements constrain appropriate assertion? What epistemic requirements constrain appropriate action? With the tremendous but disparate growth of the literature on epistemic norms, the time is ripe for a volume bringing together papers by established and emerging figures, with an eye toward the interconnections among our three questions. That is precisely what this volume seeks to do.

Arvustused

...this book will be of interest to epistemologists, philosophers of mind, and even some ethicists interested in normativity. For philosophers in those fields, this book is excellent and highly recommended. * Benjaming W. McCraw, Philosophy in Review. * This essay provides a satisfying, challenging close to the book, illustrating how, when discussing contemporary issues, a historically informed approach can often be a remarkably fresh one. Anyone interested in epistemic normativity, or in normativity more generally, will be stimulated and informed by it, as they will by this volume as a whole. * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online *
