Epistemic Obligations: Truth, Individualism, and the Limits of Belief

Autor Bruce R. Reichenbach
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 noi 2012
Questions of belief, and agency over personal belief, abound as individuals claim to have the right to believe whatever they so choose. In a carefully constructed argument, Bruce Reichenbach contends that while individuals have direct control over belief, they are obligated to believe--and purposely seek--the truth. Though the nature of truth and belief is an oft-debated topic, Reichenbach moves beyond surface-level persuasions to address the very core of what constitutes a human right. These epistemic obligations are critical, as the influence of belief is evident throughout society, from law and education to religion and daily decision-making. Grounding his argument in practical case studies, Reichenbach deftly demonstrates the necessity of moral accountability and belief.

Recenzii

" Epistemic Obligations addresses an essential philosophical topic in illuminating fashion. Reichenbach criticizes the recent literature on epistemic obligation and offers a distinctive approach. Philosophers working on epistemology and the nature of belief will find the book instructive and probing." -- Paul Moser, Professor and Chairperson, Department of Philosophy, Loyola University Chicago
