The Realm of Reason develops a new, general theory of what it is
for a thinker to be entitled to form a given belief. The theory
locates entitlement in the nexus of relations between truth,
content, and understanding. Peacocke formulates three principles of
rationalism that articulate this conception. The principles imply
that all entitlement has a component that is justificationally
independent of experience. The resulting position is thus a form of
rationalism, generalized to all kinds of content.
To show how these principles are realized in specific domains,
Peacocke applies the theory in detail to several classical problems
of philosophy, including the nature of perceptual entitlement,
induction, and the status of moral thought. These discussions
involve an elaboration of the structure of entitlement in ways that
have applications in many other areas of philosophy. He also
relates the theory to classical and recent rationalist thought, and
to current issues in the theory of meaning, reference and
explanation. In the course of these discussions, he proposes a
general theory of the a priori.
The focus of the work lies in the intersection of epistemology,
metaphysics, and the theory of meaning, and will be of interest
both to students and researchers in these areas, and to anyone
concerned with the idea of rationality.
