Goodman (Richard)

Richard Goodman is a prominent philosopher known for his work in epistemology, focusing on how we justify beliefs and the nature of knowledge. He explores questions about the reliability of evidence, the structure of reasoning, and what it means for a belief to be well-founded. Goodman aims to clarify the standards and processes that underpin justified belief, helping us better understand how we can confidently claim to know things. His contributions are important for both theoretical philosophy and practical reasoning, influencing how we think about evidence, truth, and rational belief systems.
