He contends that their\nposition amounts to what he calls ‘Moderate Evidentialism’ – that only for the\nepistemic elite what one ought to believe is determined by one’s evidence. The\nauthor makes the case that the Falasifa’s position is well argued, ingeniously\ncircumvents issues in the epistemology of testimony, and is well worth taking\nseriously in the contemporary debate. He reasons that this is especially the\ncase since the position has salutary consequences for how to respond to\nthe sceptic, and for how we are to conceive of extremist belief.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Pivot\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-08-05\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137556998\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/978-1-137-55700-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 210cm x148cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 100\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan UK","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44752397729932,"sku":"9781137556998","price":58.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137556998.jpg?v=1775915170","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137556998","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
