It also systematically explores the connections between virtue epistemology and hinge epistemology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to hinge epistemology, any human belief set is built within and upon a framework of pre-evidential propositions – hinges – that cannot be justified. Epistemic entitlement argues that we are entitled to trust our hinges. But there remains a problem. Entitlement is inherently unconstrained and arbitrary: We can be entitled to any hinge proposition under the right circumstances. In this book, the author argues that we need a non-arbitrariness clause that protects entitlement from defeat. This clause, he argues, is to require epistemic virtue. Virtuous cognitive dispositions provide the non-arbitrariness clause that protects entitlement from defeat. The epistemic character of the agent who holds a particular set of hinges tells us something about the hinges’ epistemic status. Conversely, epistemic virtues are cognitive dispositions and capacities that rely on hinge propositions – without trusting in some hinges, we would be unable to exercise our virtues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrust Responsibly\u003c\/i\u003e will appeal to scholars and advanced students working on epistemology, Wittgenstein, and virtues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52595235782929,"sku":"NLS9781032449074","price":74.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781032449074.jpg?v=1786614044","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/trust-responsibly-book-jakob-ohlhorst-9781032449074","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
