"Epistemic Reasoning and the Mental" integrates the epistemology of
reasoning and philosophy of mind. The book contains introductions
to basic concepts in the epistemology of inference and to important
aspects of the philosophy of mind. By examining the fundamental
competencies involved in reasoning, Gerken argues that reasoning's
epistemic force depends on the external environment in ways that
are both surprising and epistemologically important.
For example, Gerken argues that purportedly deductive reasoning
that exhibits the fallacy of equivocation may nevertheless transmit
epistemic warrant from its premise-beliefs to its
conclusion-belief. This view is contrary to orthodoxy according to
which such reasoning must be valid. But Gerken shows how this novel
and unorthodox view is integrated in a psychologically plausible
account of our reasoning competencies and a general epistemological
framework.
What emerges is an approach to the philosophy of reasoning that is
informed and constrained by both epistemology and philosophy of
mind.
