Learning from Our Mistakes: Epistemology for the Real World
Talbott, William J. (Professor of Philosophy, Professor of Philosophy, University of Washington, Seattle)
In Learning from Our Mistakes: Epistemology for the Real World, William J. Talbott provides a new framework for understanding the history of Western epistemology and uses it to propose a new way of understanding rational belief that can be applied to pressing social and political issues. This framework is used to articulate a new theory of prejudice and a new diagnosis of the sources of inequity in the U. S. criminal justice system, as well as insight intothe proliferation of tribal and fascist epistemologies based on alt-facts and alt-truth.
