Non-Ideal Epistemology
Oxford: Oxford University Press (2023)
Abstract
Robin McKenna argues that we need to make space for an approach to epistemology that avoids the idealizations typical of the field. He applies this approach to topics in applied and social epistemology, such as what to do about science denial, whether we should try to be intellectually autonomous, and what our obligations are to other inquirers.Author's Profile
