We agree! In the paper we argue that neither conspiracy beliefs nor monothematic delusions are appropriately characterised as pathologies of belief.

Thank you Lisa. Any love for the cover to be shared with you since you helped me choose it!

I’d like to think so! Upper level undergraduate/graduate course perhaps, as a guide to further reading (I think and hope I’ve been reasonably comprehensive in capturing the various debates surveyed).

Carolina, this is extremely generous coming from someone whose own work exemplifies those properties! Thank you!

Many thanks to @keithfrankish.bsky.social for the invitation and support, and to those in the intersection of 'gave me very helpful comments' and 'on bluesky': @kmurphyhollies.bsky.social, @jtsuth.bsky.social, and @samljwilkinson.bsky.social.

Thank you Chenwei, very kind! Btw, I enjoyed your response to mine and @paulnoordhof.bsky.social's commentary!

If you’ve got this far please consider ordering it into your institutional libraries, after all, it is an ‘outstanding resource for both students and researchers’ according to the blurb. www.routledge.com/The-Routledg...

Thank you to Paul Noordhof (not here yet) for stepping in late in the process and writing an additional chapter. Originally slated to write the chapter on Doxasticism, he also wrote the chapter on Non-doxasticism – the two pair beautifully!

Special thanks to @lisabortolotti.bsky.social for her advice back at proposal stage on topics to include (although any omissions are mine). There are some topics that didn’t make it due to circumstances beyond anyone’s control, but I hope that the end result is nevertheless pretty comprehensive.

I am tremendously grateful to all 47 contributors who, without exception, made the various stages of pulling this together as easy as it could have been.

There was absolutely a need for a resource like this, and it felt like a huge responsibility to be the one to oversee its genesis. Thanks to Tony Bruce at Routledge (not here yet!) for trusting the task to me, his advice along the way, and for allowing me to choose a new cover quite late in the day.

As someone who moved over today, thank you!!!
