This is video 12 in an introductory course on epistemology, the philosophy of knowledge. We delve into the question of the point of rational inquiry: is it to find as many truths as possible? Is it to avoid false beliefs? Are some beliefs more worth having than others? We also briefly discuss the relation between epistemic and practical rationality.
