What happens when we have second thoughts about the epistemic
standing of our beliefs, when we stop to check on beliefs which we
have already formed or hypotheses which we have under
consideration? In the essays collected in this volume, Hilary
Kornblith considers this and other questions about self-knowledge
and the nature of human reason. The essays draw extensively on work
in social psychology to illuminate traditional epistemological
issues: in contrast with traditional Cartesian approaches to these
issues, Kornblith engages with empirically motivated skeptical
problems, and shows how they may be constructively addressed in
practical and theoretical terms. As well as bringing together ten
previously published essays, the volume contains two entirely new
pieces that engage with ideas of self and rational nature.
Kornblith's approach lays the foundations for further development
in epistemology that will benefit from advances in our
understanding of human psychology.
