Description
Rationality and Reflection: A Theory of Rationality for Thinking About What to Think. Jonathan L. Kvanvig presents a conception of rationality that addresses the challenge of making decisions in a world where our own perspectives can be misleading. His theory, Perspectivalism, offers a unique account of rationality that bridges traditional debates between Foundationalism and Coherentism, Internalism and Externalism, and Evidentialism. Kvanvig's approach provides a framework for understanding what kinds of rational disagreement are possible, and how we can determine what to think. By considering the role of evidence in rational decision-making, Perspectivalism offers a nuanced view of rationality that is both practical and theoretically grounded. This book provides a clear and concise exploration of rationality and its relationship to our thoughts and beliefs.
