Knowledge full well is judgment or representation (alethic affi…
Book Symposium on Ernest Sosa’s Epistemic Explanations
Representations, judgments, and the swamping problem for reliabilism
This article argues for a way out of the swamping problem by showing where his virtue epistemology substantially departs from traditional process reliabilism and how such departure is enough to protect the former from issues that affect the way the latter accounts for the value of knowledge over mere true belief

Busca, ainda, reconsiderar o estatuto (porventura epistêmico) de experiências sensórias com conteúdo. O objetivo desse percurso é fazer frente a objeções c…
