Formal methods are changing how epistemology is being studied and
understood. A Critical Introduction to Formal Epistemology
introduces the types of formal theories being used and explains how
they are shaping the subject. Beginning with the basics of
probability and Bayesianism, it shows how representing degrees of
belief using probabilities informs central debates in epistemology.
As well as discussing induction, the paradox of confirmation and
the main challenges to Bayesianism, this comprehensive overview
covers objective chance, peer disagreement, the concept of full
belief, and the traditional problems of justification and
knowledge. Subjecting each position to a critical analysis, it
explains the main issues in formal epistemology, and the
motivations and drawbacks of each position. Written in an
accessible language and supported study questions, guides to
further reading and a glossary, positions are placed in an historic
context to give a sense of the development of the field. As the
first introductory textbook on formal epistemology, A Critical
Introduction to Formal Epistemology is an invaluable resource for
students and scholars of contemporary epistemology.
