Summary:

The most important questions in life are questions about what we should do and what we should believe. The first of these questions has received considerable attention by normative ethicists, who search for a complete systematic account of right action. This book is about the second question: what should we believe? 'Right Belief and True Belief' starts by defining a new field of inquiry author Daniel J. Singer calls 'normative epistemology', that mirrors normative ethics by searching for a systematic account of right belief-belief that is closest to the truth.
