Reviews for Performance Epistemology
The authors are well chosen, since they offer sharply contrasting views on fundamental questions in epistemology. They include such notable figures as Hilary Kornblith, Richard Fumerton, Paul Boghossian and Ram Neta. The topics range from the nature of epistemic virtue and epistemic luck to a prior knowledge and the epistemology of stupidity. The essays are all worth reading.
