• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Juan Comesaña presents a new framework for understanding the rationality of action and belief, which he calls Experientalism. Arguing that rational action requires rational belief but tolerates false belief, Comesaña provides a novel account of empirical evidence as consisting of the content of undefeated experiences.
