Jonathan L. Kvanvig presents a conception of rationality which
answers to the need arising out of the egocentric predicament
concerning what to do and what to believe. He does so in a way that
avoids, on the one hand, reducing rationality to the level of
beasts, and on the other hand, elevating it so that only the most
reflective among us are capable of rational beliefs. Rationality
and Reflection sets out a theory of rationality-a theory about how
to determine what to think-which defends a significant degree of
optionality in the story of what is reasonable for people to think,
and thereby provides a framework for explaining what kinds of
rational disagreement are possible. The theory is labelled
Perspectivalism and it offers a unique account of rationality, one
that cuts across the usual distinctions between Foundationalism and
Coherentism and between Internalism and Externalism. It also
differs significantly from Evidentialism, maintaining that, to the
extent that rationality is connected to the notion of evidence, it
is a function both of the evidence one has and what one makes of
it.
