In this chapter, we have introduced the three central features of the
epistemological framework that guides the prescriptions of Ameliorative
Psychology (robust reliability, a cost-benefit approach to reasoning, and
the importance of significance), and we have introduced a framework for
thinking about applied epistemology that drops out of Ameliorative Psychology.
We recognize that much of our discussion has been too abstract,
and as a result, some might view it as not terribly useful. For those who are
inclined to react in this way, we would ask for patience. In chapters 8 and
9, we will draw out some practical implications of our view. But first, let’s
try to develop in a bit more detail the account of epistemic excellence that
guides the prescriptions of Ameliorative Psychology.
