Opis

An important issue in epistemology concerns the source of epistemic normativity. Epistemic consequentialism maintains that epistemic norms are genuine norms that are conducive to epistemic value. This volume presents the latest work on epistemic consequentialism by authors that are sympathetic to the view and those who are critical of it.

Recenzje

Ahlstrom-Vij and Dunn's edited book, Epistemic Consequentialism, is arguably the first comprehensive volume of collected papers on this field. It contains cutting-edge contributions to this topic from internationally renowned and emerging epistemologists...[and] is a useful guide to a field in epistemology which is expected to get increased scholarly attention in future discussions about the source and nature of epistemic normativity.
