Description
Being Rational and Being Right by Juan Comesaña explores the relationship between rational action and belief. Comesaña argues that rational action requires rational belief, but allows for false belief.
The author presents a novel account of empirical evidence, known as Experientialism, which posits that evidence consists of the content of undefeated experiences. This view differs from Factualism and Psychologism, two main approaches to understanding empirical evidence. Comesaña examines how Experientialism compares to these rival views in explaining rational belief and action.
Comesaña also discusses the problem of normative requirements, the easy knowledge problem, and the relationship between Experientialism and forms of evidentialism and reliabilism within a Bayesian framework. This book is an important contribution to the fields of mathematics, game theory, philosophy, and epistemology.
