Publisher Synopsis
The book is beautifully written. It builds on Zagzebskis prior work and has an impressive breadth. * Richard Fumerton, Mind * Epistemic Authority is rich, wide-ranging, and provocative. I strongly recommend it, especially to anyone who is interested in epistemic autonomy, epistemic authority, and the rational defensibility of faith and of believing on the authority of one's epistemic community.
