Jonathan E. Adler investigates the normative dimensions of belief, challenging the traditional evidentialist stance that requires belief to be strictly proportional to available evidence. By examining the interplay between intellectual responsibility and the cognitive constraints of the human mind, the text explores how individuals navigate the tension between objective justification and the subjective necessity of forming convictions in an uncertain world.
