The Nature of Inquiry III Steven M Duncan

Criteriology is the normative science of substantive, empirical judgment that discovers and articulates the standards for warranted belief concerning contingent matters of fact. In this study, the formal epistemology and cognitive theory developed in the earlier volumes of this treatise are used to articulate a completed Criteriology, one that applies those earlier results to specific, concrete contexts involving both spontaneous judgment and rational belief.
