The Theory of Epistemic Rationality
TLDR
In this paper, the theory of epistemic rationality references are used to identify the kind of person who will need epistemic rational references in order to decide by themselves what they want to do and need to do.Abstract:
Well, someone can decide by themselves what they want to do and need to do but sometimes, that kind of person will need some the theory of epistemic rationality references. People with open minded will always try to seek for the new things and information from many sources. On the contrary, people with closed mind will always think that they can do it by their principals. So, what kind of person are you?read more

Heuristics and Biases: Individual Differences in Reasoning: Implications for the Rationality Debate?
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual differences in rational thought.
TL;DR: This paper explored the extent to which measures of cognitive ability and thinking dispositions can predict discrepancies from normative responding on a variety of tasks from the heuristics and biases literature including the selection task, belief bias in syllogistic reasoning, argument evaluation, base-rate use, covariation detection, hypothesis testing, outcome bias, if-only thinking, knowledge calibration, hindsight bias, and the false consensus paradigm.
Journal ArticleDOI
A nonpragmatic vindication of probabilism
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that any system of degrees of belief that violates the axioms of probability can be replaced by an alternative system that obeys the laws of probability and yet is more accurate in every possible world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epistemic Rationality as Instrumental Rationality: A Critique
TL;DR: This article explore the relationship between epistemic rationality and instrumental rationality and explore the instrumentalist conception of epistemic rational, i.e., the rationality which one displays in taking the means to one's ends.
Individual differences in reasoning: Implications for the rationality debate?-Open Peer Commentary-Differences, games, and pluralism
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the implications of individual differences in performance for each of the four explanations of the normative/descriptive gap, including performance errors, computational limitations, wrong norm being applied by the experimenter, and a different construal of the task by the subject.

Highlights of Recent Epistemology
TL;DR: The authors surveys work in epistemology since the mid-1980s, focusing on contextualism about knowledge attributions, modest forms of foundationalism, and the internalism/externalism debate and its connections to the ethics of belief.
