Epistemic Normativity

Epistemic normativity refers to the standards or rules that guide how we should think, believe, or justify our knowledge claims. It’s about understanding when beliefs are rational, justified, or acceptable based on evidence and reasoning. Essentially, it explores why certain ways of believing are considered correct or superior, and how we can improve our thinking processes to get closer to truth. These norms help us evaluate the quality of our beliefs, encouraging careful, honest, and evidence-based reasoning to better understand the world.
