What are epistemic reasons? What are epistemic norms? What is our basic epistemic goal? In
recent years questions about epistemic reasons norms and goals have seen an upsurge of
interest. Pursuing these questions has not only proven fertile for our understanding of key
concepts and phenomena studied in epistemology but also for a wide area of issues in
philosophy of mind and action and in philosophy of language and meta-ethics. The present volume
brings together eighteen essays seventeen of them new by established and upcoming
philosophers in the field. The contributions are arranged into four sections: (1) epistemic
reasons (2) different aspects of epistemic norms (3) epistemic consequentialism and (4)
epistemic goals and values. The volume is key reading for researchers and students of
philosophy interested in epistemic normativity and beyond.
