Epistemic Normativity

Undergraduate

This seminar is on foundational issues in contemporary epistemology, focusing on questions about the nature and grounds of epistemic normativity. Possible topics include: the relationship between epistemic rationality and reasons for belief, whether or not epistemic justification is ultimately dependent on our psychologies or practical interests, the relationship between truth and epistemic justification, and the bearing of general metanormative theorizing on our understanding of normativity within epistemology.
