{"product_id":"knowledge-and-rational-action","title":"Knowledge and Rational Action","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book motivates and systematically develops the view that knowledge should be at the centre of our theory of practical rationality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Only act on what you know!”—the book offers the first comprehensive defence of this slogan in the form of a knowledge-based decision theory. The proposed view is shown to be the most straightforward explanation of emerging bodies of evidence for a link between knowledge and rational action. The book provides novel solutions to well-known challenges that invoke high-stakes scenarios, seemingly rational actions based on reasonable but false beliefs, and decision-making under risk and uncertainty. The emerging view brings together traditional and formal approaches to epistemology and the study of practical rationality. The resulting knowledge-based decision theory is embedded in a rich normative landscape, encompassing innovative accounts of excuses, rational acceptance and the simplification of reasoning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eKnowledge and Rational Action\u003c\/i\u003e will be of great interest to researchers and graduate students interested in epistemology, practical rationality and decision theory.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54410891854168,"sku":"9781041012047","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781041012047.jpg?v=1768358742","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/knowledge-and-rational-action","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
