Introduction
Epistemology is, at least in part, a normative subject. Normativity raises many questions. Are there facts about what we should do or think? If so, what is the nature of these facts? If there are no such facts, how should we make sense of our practices of making judgments about what people should do and think? Such questions have been most widely discussed in their application to ethics. This volume explores their application to epistemology: it is a collection of metaepistemology. The aim of this introductory chapter is to introduce some of the questions of metaepistemology, the issues they raise, and some important attempts to answer them, and to situate the volume’s chapters in relation to them.
