Description
The Ethics of Belief and Beyond
This volume provides a framework for approaching and understanding mental normativity. It presents cutting-edge research on the ethics of belief as well as innovative research beyond the normativity of beliefâand towards an ethics of mind. By moving beyond traditional issues of epistemology the contributors discuss the most current ideas revolving around rationality responsibility and normativity.
The bookâs chapters are divided into two main parts. Part I discusses contemporary issues surrounding the normativity of belief. The essays here cover topics such as control over belief and its implication for the ethics of belief the role of the epistemic community for the possibility of epistemic normativity responsibility for believing doxastic partiality in friendship the structure and content of epistemic norms and the norms for suspension of judgment. In Part II the focus shifts from the practical dimensions of belief to the normativity and rationality of other mental statesâespecially blame passing thoughts fantasies decisions and emotions. These essays illustrate how we might approach an ethics of mind by focusing not only on belief but also more generally on debates about responsibility and rationality as well as on normative questions concerning other mental states or attitudes.
The Ethics of Belief and Beyond paves the way towards an ethics of mind by building on and contributing to recent philosophical discussions in the ethics of belief and the normativity of other mental phenomena. It will be of interest to upper-level students and researchers working in epistemology ethics philosophy of action philosophy of mind and moral psychology.
