Klappentext zu „Epistemic Evaluation “
Epistemic Evaluation aims to explore and apply a particular methodology in epistemology. The methodology is to consider the point(s) or purpose(s) of our epistemic evaluations, and to pursue epistemological theory in light of such matters. Call this purposeful epistemology. The idea is that considerations about the point and purpose of epistemic evaluation might fruitfully constrain epistemological theory and yield insights for epistemological reflection. Several contributions to this volume explicitly address this general methodology, or some version of it. Others focus on advancing some application of the methodology rather than on theorizing about it. The papers go on to explore the idea that purposes allow one to understand the conceptual demands on knowing, examine how purposeful epistemology might shed light on the debate between internalist and externalist epistemologies, and further develop the idea of purposeful epistemology.

Pressezitat
This volume shows a way to do post-Gettier epistemology. ... In addition to casting light on the nature, purpose and value of epistemic evaluation, purposeful epistemology also facilitates progress on a variety of epistemological issues, such as the relationship between knowledge and practical reasoning, the semantics of knowledge ascriptions and the internalism/externalism debate. This is not to suggest that purposeful epistemology is the only method epistemologists should use. But it is, as the editors point out, 'an important an underappreciated item in the toolbox' (3). I highly recommend this book. Michael Hannon, Analysis
