Higher-Order Defeat and Withholding Judgment
Defeat by higher-order evidence needs defending. Maria Lasonen-Aarnio argues powerfully for the conclusion that higher-order evidence does not have an unlimited capacity to defeat justification. While developing her main argument Lasonen-Aarnio poses two other problems for unlimited higher-order defeat. Some theories of higher-order defeat are not subject to the main argument. The other problems threaten those theories too. The problems will be d…

Epistemology and the Psychology of Human Judgment
Michael A Bishop and J. D Trout New York, New York: Oxford University Press. 2005. Pp. xii, 205 . This book is highly original and engaging. Michael Bishop and J. D. Trout propose a radical reorientation of epistemology. They propose to shift its focus from justification and knowledge to the findings of cognitive science about good reasoning, Ameliorative Psychology (AP). In the book they defend the importance of AP, criticize existing epistemolo…

Some Virtues of Evidentialism
O evidencialismo é, primordialmente, uma tese sobre a justificação epistêmica e, secundariamente, uma tese sobre o conhecimento. Sustenta que a justificação epistêmica é superveniente da evidência. As versões do evidencialismo diferem quanto ao que conta como evidência, quanto ao que seja possuir algo como evidência e quanto ao que um dado corpo de evidência apóia. A tese secundária é a de que o apoio evidencial é necessário ao conhecimento. O ev…

Evidentialism
Evidentialism is a theory of knowledge the essence of which is the traditional idea that the justification of factual knowledge is entirely a matter of evidence. The authors defend this theory, arguing evidentialism is an asset virtually everywhere in epistemology, from getting started to refuting skepticism.
Typing Problems
Guided by the work of William Alston, Jonathan Adler and Michael Levin propose a solution to the generality problem for reliabilism. In some respects their proposal improves on those we have discussed. We argue that the problem remains unsolved
Innocuous Infallibility
Alan Sidelle has offered an argument to show that internalism about justification implies us to have a certain sort of infallibility concerning some internal facts. This is true but harmless to internalism

The Generality Problem for Reliabilism
Seeing the Truth
Some propositions are obvious in their own right. We can 'just see' that they are true. So there is some such epistemic phenomenon as seeing the truth of a proposition. This paper investigates the nature of this phenomenon. The aptness of the visual metaphor is explained. Accounts of the phenomenon requiring qualia by which the truth is apprehended are disputed. A limited theory is developed and applied
The Nature and the Impossibility of Moral Perfection
(MP) does not require enough of a morally perfect agent. The standard of perfection is utterly unsparing. A state of perfection is an absolute extreme, exceeding in merit any condition which could possibly be improved. Wholly moral conduct, on the other hand, can be enacted by agents who are not morally best in every relevant way. Three sorts of cases show this. First, the possibility of supererogation constitutes an objection to (MP). Supereroga…
Moral Dilemmas
The Truth Connection
1. When you know, there is something that provides you with knowledge. It is something that answers question-How do you know? If your knowledge is perceptually based, it is plain that answer to this question is something in support of known belief to which perception contributes. In cases of learning from books, answer plainly involves something that reading contributes in support of known belief. In cases of mathematical knowledge, answer plainl…

Evidentialism
The Possibility of Absent Qualia
I Q ydney Shoemaker has defended functionalism against the ab3sent qualia objection.' The purpose of the present paper is to vindicate that objection by refuting Shoemaker's case against it. Shoemaker's principal argument against the possibility of absent qualia goes like this: The qualitative character of pain is known. Thus, one of the causal properties of pain must be to produce beliefs about its qualitative character in a way that gives the b…

On Seeking a Rationale
One familiar objection to consequentialist moral theories is that they conflict with the requirements of distributive justice. Another objection that has received considerable attention is Bernard Williams' charge thatconsequentialist theories call upon agents to violate their integrity. Samuel Scheffler has sought rational responses to these objections in The Rejection of Consequentialism.' The present paper is primarily a methodological study o…
