Multiple literatures in psychology and education address aspects of epistemic cognition. In the absence of a coherent conceptual framework, however, these literatures mostly fail to communicate with each other and often connect only loosely to genuine epistemology. This complicates any effort to achieve a systematic theoretical understanding of epistemic cognition and its development. Deanna Kuhn writes in her foreword, \"Moshman is not the first to take on this challenge, but he fulfills it elegantly and, I think, the most comprehensively and astutely.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter reviewing the basics of philosophical epistemology and cognitive psychology, \u003ci\u003eEpistemic Cognition and Development\u003c\/i\u003e provides a compelling account of developmental change across childhood and beyond in knowledge about knowledge, especially with regard to fundamental conceptions of objectivity, subjectivity, rationality, justification, and truth. This is followed by detailed consideration of domain-specific epistemologies of science, logic, morality, social convention, history, and identity, including associated forms of reasoning. The final section provides theoretical conclusions, educational and social applications, and suggestions for further research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Moshman\u003c\/strong\u003e is a professor of educational psychology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and book review editor of the \u003cem\u003eJournal of Applied Developmental Psychology\u003c\/em\u003e.
