Epistemic norms play an increasingly important role in many current debates in epistemology and beyond. Paramount among these are debates about belief, action, and assertion. Three primary questions organize the literature. What epistemic requirements constrain appropriate belief? What epistemic requirements constrain appropriate assertion? What epistemic requirements constrain appropriate action? With the tremendous but disparate growth of the literature on epistemic norms, the time is ripe for a volume bringing together papers by established and emerging figures, with an eye toward the interconnections among our three questions. That is precisely what this volume seeks to do.
What epistemic requirements govern the appropriateness of our beliefs, assertions, and actions? Editors Clayton Littlejohn and John Turri compile a collection of essays from prominent and emerging philosophers to address the fragmented nature of current research on epistemic norms. The volume synthesizes diverse perspectives to examine how the standards for belief, assertion, and action intersect and influence one another within contemporary epistemology.

Scholars and students of philosophy view this collection as a significant resource for navigating the complex intersections of normative epistemology. Readers frequently note the academic density of the prose, which is intended for those already familiar with contemporary debates in analytic philosophy.
