Playing and asserting
Is the epistemic norm governing assertion essential to assertion? Is the norm constitutive of the very nature of the speech act? Some say it cannot be so because assertion patterns very differently than playing games when it comes to breaking constitutive rules. You can break the rule of assertion in various ways and still assert, but you cannot break the rules of games in just that way and still assert. We should then conclude that the epistemic…
The phenomenal evidence argument
The self saves the day! Value pluralism, autonomous belief and the dissolution of the value problem through the encroachment of the self on knowledge
In his book Autonomous Knowledge J. Adam Carter argues that the possibility of radical cognitive enhancement shows the need for epistemology to be significantly updated. Reflection on the possibility of such enhancement shows that doxastic autonomy matters. If a belief fails to be autonomous, it cannot qualify as knowledge. Sects. 1-3 of this paper introduce the key components of Carter's autonomy framework and his considerations on the value of …
The new evil demon problem at 40
I shall use 'epistemic warrant' and 'epistemic justification' interchangeably for a normative property that provides a good route to true belief and knowledge.1 Epistemologists disagree over their relationship. In all possible worlds W, a belief is prima facie epistemically warranted in W if and only if (to the extent that) the psychological processes that caused or sustained the belief reliably produces true beliefs in W. So-called "internalists…
Is Contrastive Consent Necessary for Secondary Permissibility
Theron Pummer has argued that contrastive consent is necessary for the phenomenon of "secondary permissibility." I argue that it is not, and I undermine the motivation for thinking that it is
Typing testimony
The Routledge Handbook of Social Epistemology
Empirical research has substantiated the finding that very many of us harbour implicit biases: fast, automatic, and difficult to control processes that encode stereotypes and evaluative content, and influence how we think and behave. The influence of implicit bias on perception may operate under the radar of consciousness: therefore it is irrelevant to the justification of epistemologists‘ beliefs according to accessibility. The person whose beli…

Thomson's Trolley Problem
No one has done more over the past four decades to draw attention to the importance of, and attempt to solve, a particularly vexing problem in ethics—the Trolley Problem—than Judith Jarvis Thomson. Though the problem is originally due to Philippa Foot (“The Problem of Abortion and the Doctrine of Double Effect”), Thomson showed how Foot’s simple solution would not do and offered some solutions of her own. No solution is uncontroversial and the pr…

The Reliability of Testimony
Are we entitled or justified in taking the word of others at face value? An affirmative answer to this question is associated with the views of Thomas Reid. Recently, C. A. J. Coady has defended a Reidian view in his impressive and influential book, Testimony: A Philosophical Study. His central and most original argument for his positions involves reflection upon the practice of giving and accepting reports, of making assertions and relying on th…
Measuring Student Quality Variables and the Implications for Management Practices in Higher Education Institutions: An Australian and international student perspective
The issue of quality is now a significant theme in higher education management. This paper examines the issue of quality as determined by Australian and international students. A scale comprising 26 quality variables was developed, verified and tested on a cohort of 351 students. Four factors were found and used to test a series of hypotheses and research questions. Results indicated a hierarchy amongst the factors and that academic instruction w…
