Steven Bland

Rationality in Context

Unstable Virtues in an Uncertain World

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book uses the psychological literature on rationality to weigh in on the recent debate between virtue epistemologists and epistemic situationists. It argues that both sides have misconstrued the literature and that an interactionist framework is needed to square epistemic theory with empirical facts about reasoning and inference.
