Bad Beliefs: Why They Happen to Good People
Oxford University Press (2021)
Abstract
This book challenges the view that bad beliefs - beliefs that blatantly conflict with easily available evidence - can largely be explained by widespread irrationality, instead arguing that ordinary people are rational agents whose beliefs are the result of their rational response to the evidence they're presented with.Author's Profile
