Carefully-calibrated and judiciously-curated, Contemporary
Epistemology is a new upper-level anthology which brings together some
of the most significant contemporary writing on the theory of
knowledge centered around the general theme of the ethics of belief.
Sections probe questions such as whether there are norms on belief,
how norms on belief relate to norms on action, and how we should
understand the nature of epistemic value and normativity. Designed to
sit alongside our highly-successful introductory anthology of
canonical readings Epistemology: An Anthology, Second Edition—and
editedby the same distinguished editorial team—the collection draws
from a large, diverse, and evolving literature for a concise and
well-balanced selection of readings. Striking an excellent
representational balance between scholarship that has influenced
modern epistemology in recent years and the contributions of emerging
thought leaders, Jeremy Fantl, Matthew McGrath, and Ernest Sosa have
selected 17 readings that represent a broad and vital part of
contemporary epistemology. Organized into seven thoughtful and
distinct sections which include virtue epistemology, practical reasons
for belief, permissivism about belief, epistemic dysfunctions, among
others, readings are further contextualized by editorial material
meant to help readers engage with the arguments themselves. Upper
level companion anthology to our best-selling Epistemology: An
Anthology, Second Edition Edited by a distinguished editorial team,
