Extended Rationality: A Hinge Epistemology

by Annalisa Coliva

Extended Rationality provides a novel account of the structure of epistemic justification. Its central claim builds upon Wittgenstein's idea that epistemic justifications hinge on some basic assumptions and that epistemic rationality extends to these very hinges. It exploits these ideas to address problems such as scepticism and relativism.

«The argument is rather complex, and we need not look at it in detail.»

Solid, if sometimes overly verbose, introduction to the world of epistemology and the looming threat of various proverbial cerebral pickles.
