This monograph provides a novel reliabilist approach to epistemic
responsibility assessment. The author presents unique arguments for
the epistemic significance of belief-influencing actions and
omissions. She grounds her proposal in indirect doxastic control.
The book consists of four chapters. The first two chapters look at
the different ways in which an agent might control the revision,
retention, or rejection of her beliefs. They provide a systematic
overview of the different approaches to doxastic control and
contain a thorough study of reasons-responsive approaches to direct
and indirect doxastic control. The third chapter provides a
reliabilist approach to epistemic responsibility assessment which
is based on indirect doxastic control. In the fourth chapter, the
author examines epistemic peer disagreement and applies her
reliabilist approach to epistemic responsibility assessment to this
debate. She argues that the epistemic significance of peer
disagreement does not only rely on the way in which an agent should
revise her belief in the face of disagreement, it also relies on
the way in which an agent should act. This book deals with
questions of meliorative epistemology in general and with questions
concerning doxastic responsibility and epistemic responsibility
assessment in particular. It will appeal to graduate students and
researchers with an interest in epistemology.
