Reviews

'In this book Clayton Littlejohn defends the unorthodox view that there are no justified false beliefs. But his book will be a must-read for anyone, orthodox or not, who is interested in the theory of justification, and in epistemic normativity more generally. I cannot say whether his view will win the day; but I can say that his arguments will be a core part of the debate going forward.' Sanford Goldberg, Northwestern University 'This is an up-to-date and accessible treatment of core areas of concern in contemporary epistemology. Highly recommended.' Trent Dougherty, Baylor University
