Given Sosa's broad aim, his book covers a lot of ground. The discussions of particular issues will appeal to those interested in those particular topics, and the chapters, on the whole, are self-contained, some being reprints of earlier articles. But, throughout, one finds interconnected and re-emerging themes that are of central importance to all those interested in the nature of belief and knowledge, the nature and extent of epistemic agency, and philosophical methodology. Having Sosa's carefully and forcefully argued views on these topics is most welcome.
Miriam Schleifer Mccormick, Mind
Judgment and Agency reads like a product of sustained, penetrating philosophical reflection by one of the great minds in the field, which, to my mind, is precisely what it is.
Jason Baehr, Philosophical Studies
Ernest Sosa's new book, Judgment and Agency, is a terrific piece of philosophizing. It develops Sosa's virtue epistemology well beyond his earlier work, and it sets it in a broader framework.
Hilary Kornblith, Philosophical Studies
This is a book one will want to return to many times. It is not breezy, easily digested philosophy. But it more than repays careful study. It is a major achievement for epistemology, a comprehensive and profound account of knowledge, informed by the history of the subject as well as by recent trends.
Matthew McGrath, The Philosophical Review
This book is both monumentally important and largely successful.
Ram Neta, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews Online
...[A]n incredibly important work of contemporary epistemology.... not merely an incremental extension of Sosa's previous work.... a high-water mark as regards scholarship in this area. Anyone serious about epistemology ought to read this book.
Duncan Pritchard, The Journal of Philosophy
