I develop an approach to action and practical deliberation according to which the degree of epistemic warrant required for
practical rationality varies with practical context. In some contexts of practical deliberation, very strong warrant is called
for. In others, less will do. I set forth a warrant account, (WA), that captures this idea. I develop and defend (WA) by arguing
that it is more promising than a competing knowledge account of action due to John Hawthorne and Jason Stanley. I argue that
cases of warranted false belief speak in favor of (WA) and against the knowledge account. Moreover, I note some problems with
an “excuse maneuver” that proponents of the knowledge account frequently invoke in response to cases of warranted false belief.
Finally, I argue that (WA) may provide a strict invariantist account of cases that have been thought to motivate interest-relative
or subject-sensitive theories of knowledge and warrant.
