This book offers a challenge to certain epistemic features of
belief, resulting in a unified and coherent picture of the
epistemology of belief. The author examines current ideas in a
number of areas, beginning with the truth-directed nature of belief
in the context of the so-called 'Moore's paradoxes'. He then
investigates the sensitivity of beliefs to evidence by exploring
how sensory experiences can confer justifications on the beliefs
they give rise to, and provides an account of the basing relation
problem. The consequences of these arguments are carefully
considered, particularly the issues involving the problem of easy
knowledge and warrant transmission. Finally, he focuses on the
purported fallibility of beliefs and our knowledge of their
contents, arguing that the fallible/infallible distinction is best
understood in terms of externalist/internalist conceptions of
knowledge, and that the thesis of content externalism does not
threaten the privileged character of self-knowledge.
