Contemporary cognitive science clearly tells us that attention is
modulated for speech and action. While these forms of goal-directed
attention are very well researched in psychology, they have not
been sufficiently studied by epistemologists. In this book, Abrol
Fairweather and Carlos Montemayor develop and defend a theory of
epistemic achievements that requires the manifestation of cognitive
agency. They examine empirical work on the psychology of attention
and assertion, and use it to ground a normative theory of epistemic
achievements and virtues. The resulting study is the first
sustained, naturalized virtue epistemology, and will be of interest
to readers in epistemology, cognitive science, and beyond.
