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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jakob Ohlhorst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032460989\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032460987\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.44d","brand":"Jakob Ohlhorst","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44583940456703,"sku":"9781032460987","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d8f56fc9-e9c7-4260-ac13-46f394f2f73e.jpg?v=1701884383","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trust-responsibly-jakob-ohlhorst-9781032460987","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
