Responsible Belief: A Theory in Ethics and Epistemology
New York, NY: Oxford University Press USA (2016)
Abstract
This book develops and defends a theory of responsible belief. The author argues that we lack control over our beliefs, but that we can nonetheless influence them. It is because we have intellectual obligations to influence our beliefs that we are responsible for them.Author's Profile
