Is there an epistemic analog to moral dilemmas? Are there epistemically dilemmic situations--situations in which we are doomed to violate an epistemic requirement? If there are, when exactly do they arise and what can we learn from them? The contributors to this volume cover a wide variety of positions on epistemic dilemmas. The coverage ranges from discussions of the nature of epistemic dilemmas to arguments that there are no such things to suggestions for how to resolve (or at least live with) epistemic dilemmas to proposals for how thinking about epistemic dilemmas can be used to inform theorizing in other areas of epistemology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEpistemic Dilemmas \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to scholars and advanced students in epistemology working on the nature of justification and evidential support, higher-order requirements, or suspension of judgment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKevin McCain\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
