Accuracy and the Laws of Credence is required reading for anyone interested in the foundations of epistemology. It is that rare philosophical work which serves both as a stunningly clear overview of a topic and as a cutting-edge contribution to that topic. I can’t possibly address all of the interesting and philosophically rich components of Accuracy and the Laws of Credence here, so I will largely restrict my attention to pieces of Parts I, II, and III of the book, though I’ll have some more general things to say about Pettigrew’s accuracy-only approach to epistemology toward the end.
