Being Rational and Being Right

Autor Juan Comesaña
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 mar 2020
In Being Rational and Being Right, Juan Comesaña argues for a cluster of theses related to the rationality of action and belief. His starting point is that rational action requires rational belief but tolerates false belief. From there, Comesaña provides a novel account of empirical evidence according to which said evidence consists of the content of undefeated experiences. This view, which Comesaña calls "Experientialism," differs from the two main views of empirical evidence on offer nowadays: Factualism, according to which our evidence is what we know, and Psychologism, according to which our experiences themselves are evidence. He reasons that Experientialism fares better than these rival views in explaining different features of rational belief and action. Comesaña embeds this discussion in a Bayesian framework, and discusses in addition the problem of normative requirements, the easy knowledge problem, and how Experientialism compares to Evidentialism, Reliabilism, and Comesaña's own (now superseded) Evidentialist Reliabilism.

Recenzii

Being Rational and Being Right is a fantastic book, very well argued, and extremely rich
Comesaña's defense of Experientialism is rich and provocative, and worthy of detailed study.
Being Rational and Being Right ... is a tour de force defense of a simple truth that has become altogether too mysterious to philosophers, and it defends it without falling into any of the central traps into which its opponents so commonly associate this truth's defenders
