Reviews
In her most recent book, Epistemic Authority, Linda Zagzebski provides a way of thinking about rationality, trust, and authority that many communities -- both religious and non-religious, but especially Catholics -- will find fits naturally with their considered commitments. It's worth your time to give it a careful read. * Thomas Bogardus and Paige Massey, American Catholic Philosophical Quarterly *
Over the course of the eleven chapters of Epistemic Authority, [Zagzebski] attempts to show us how the values of intellectual flourishing and rugged self-reliance conflict. * The National Catholic Bioethics Quarterly *
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. It will generously reward a careful and thorough read. * Anne Baril, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
The book is beautifully written. It builds on Zagzebskis prior work and has an impressive breadth. * Richard Fumerton, Mind *
