Shifty Speech and Independent Thought is a manifesto for epistemic
independence: the independence of good thinking from practical
considerations. Mona Simion defends the independence of thought
from the most prominent threat that has surfaced in the last twenty
years of epistemological theorizing: the phenomenon of shiftiness
of proper assertoric speech with practical context. This study does
four things: firstly, it shows that, against orthodoxy, the
argument from practical shiftiness of proper assertoric speech
against the independence of proper thought from the practical does
not go through, for it rests on normative ambiguation. Secondly, it
defends a proper functionalist knowledge account of the epistemic
normativity of assertion, in conjunction with classical
invariantism about knowledge attributions. Thirdly, it develops the
first integrated account of the normativity of constative speech.
Lastly, it defends detailed normative accounts for conjecturing,
telling, and moral assertion.
