What to Believe Now: Applying Epistemology to Contemporary Issues [NOOK Book]

From the Publisher

“This book implements an excellent idea. The idea is that applied epistemology is worth pursuing. Applied epistemology, like applied ethics, employs philosophical resources toward solving real-world problems. What To Believe Now defends provocative views… If the book encourages further work in applied epistemology, then it will have accomplished considerable good.” (Earl Conee, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, 1 January 2013)

“Undoubtedly, this book will interest contemporary epistemologists. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-level undergraduates through researchers/faculty.” (Choice, 1 November 2012)

“Since it addresses topics of considerable importance, it should command, if not a mass audience, then one that reaches well outside the narrow confines of academic philosophy. Those particularly likely to find it useful include political theorists, students of social networks, and perhaps some policy makers.” (Danny Yee's Book Reviews, 2012)
