Review
"A beautiful book that is exceptionally learned and rich." Igor Douven Ars Disputandi "Combining an agreeable learnedness with analytical rigor, Jonathan Adler has made an original and important contribution to the ethics-of-belief tradition in epistemology."--John Woods, Director, Abductive Systems Group, Department of Philosophy, University of British Columbia "I found Adler's comparison of belief with assertion, and his more epistemological interest in the concept of belief, original and fascinating. The book was a real eye opener to me. Whereas W. K. Clifford famously said that one ought not to believe without evidence, Adler holds that strictly speaking it is not even possible to believe without evidence."--J. J. C. Smart, Emeritus Professor, Australian National University "In this exciting and wide-ranging new book, Adler defends the position he calls 'strong evidentialism.' His inquiry weaves together many threads in a rich fabric that will be of great interest to those in informal logic and argumentation theory. Among the threads that caught my attention were a fascinating treatment of testimony, new light on the appeal to ignorance, and discussions of burden of proof and the meaning of reasonableness."--Ralph H. Johnson, University Professor, Department of Philosophy, University of Windsor, Canada "Drew Khlentzos' book is the best I've read on the realism-antirealism debate. Highly competent on the relevant mathematical logic and fair to his opponents, Khlentzos marshals new arguments and original proposals that will establish him as a truly world-class philosopher."--J. J. C. Smart, Emeritus Professor, Australian National University
