What strength of evidence is required for knowledge? Ordinarily, we often claim to know something on the basis of evidence which doesn't guarantee its truth. For instance, one might claim to know that one sees a crow on the basis of visual experience even though having that experience does not guarantee that there is a crow (it might be a rook, or one might be dreaming). As a result, those wanting to avoid philosophical scepticism have standardly embraced "fallibilism": one can know a proposition on the basis of evidence that supports it even if the evidence doesn't guarantee its truth. Despite this, there's been a persistent temptation to endorse "infallibilism", according to which knowledge requires evidence that guarantees truth. For doesn't it sound contradictory to simultaneously claim to know and admit the possibility of error? Infallibilism is undergoing a contemporary renaissance. Furthermore, recent infallibilists make the surprising claim that they can avoid scepticism. Jessica Brown presents a fresh examination of the debate between these two positions. She argues that infallibilists can avoid scepticism only at the cost of problematic commitments concerning evidence and evidential support. Further, she argues that alleged objections to fallibilism are not compelling. She concludes that we should be fallibilists. In doing so, she discusses the nature of evidence, evidential support, justification, blamelessness, closure for knowledge, defeat, epistemic akrasia, practical reasoning, concessive knowledge attributions, and the threshold problem.

Depression Anxiety Addiction ADHD Mood Disorders People of faith need to talk about mental health. Mental health concerns are often overlooked or concealed, especially in the black church. How do we overcome the stigma around mental health disorders, and create safe spaces for conversation and comfort with church members dealing with such challenge? Professor and clinical psychologist Jessica Young Brown introduces a practical understanding of mental health as something all people seek, and she uses the biblical motif of the village well to encourage supportive ministries and pastoral care skills in the local congregation. In particular, Dr. Young Brown calls the black church to rally its historic resilience and communal creativity by providing culturally relevant strategies to engage people who struggle with mental health concerns. The model employs the acronym of SPACE to examine: Silencing the Stigma-naming negative attitudes and mistaken assumption, Presence & Persistence-highlighting the healing role of authentic relationships, Application & Action-exploring practical steps to address emerging needs, Cautions & Crises-being real about the risks and our fears, Expression & Exhortation-including everyone's stories in our testimonies Book jacket.

'O' My G: Seeking Kindness ('O' My G: Book Series)

In the 1970s, Colorado-based artist Senga Nengudi (born 1943) worked in Los Angeles as part of an emerging community of African American artists that engaged with multiple radical political movements underway in the US and around the globe, including the Black Power and feminist movements. Using quotidian materials to create installations, sculptures, performances and videos, these artists were key participants in the emergence of a postminimal aesthetic. This volume features Nengudi’s recent nylon mesh pantyhose and sand sculptures that respond directly to her performative, biomorphic series Répondez s’il vous plaît (RSVP) (1975–77). Engaging in a dialogue with both postminimalism and second-wave feminism, the stretched, twisted and knotted fabric of the RSVP works and more recent Reverie sculptures recall contorted flesh. Nengudi’s corporeal sculptures, which often suggest genitalia and breasts, take on feminist associations as “part-objects” (to use psychoanalyst Melanie Klein’s term) in the absence of adjoining bodies.
