    Hilary Kornblith, Hilary� KornblithBOOKKnowledge and Its Place in Nature2002

    Argues that conceptual analysis should be rejected in favour of a more naturalistic approach to epistemology. There is a robust natural phenomenon of knowledge; knowledge is a natural kind. An examination of the cognitive ethology literature reveals a category of knowledge that does both causal and explanatory work. It is argued that knowledge in this very sense is what philosophers have been talking about all along. Rival accounts of knowledge t…

  • Linda Zagzebski's Virtues of the Mind

    Hilary Kornblith, Hilary� Kornblith et al.ARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…2000

    Linda Zagzebski has an interesting project in this book. She wishes to develop an epistemological theory which is informed by work in virtue ethics. While a number of authors have presented epistemological theories which revolve around a notion of intellectual virtue, I believe that Zagzebski is right in thinking that many of these accounts, for better or worse, are not rooted in the kind of virtue ethic she favors. For example, Ernest Sosa's1 no…

  • Inductive Inference and its Natural Ground: An Essay in Naturalistic Epistemology

    Peter Lipton, Hilary Kornblith et al.ARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…1996Cited by: 7

    Hilary Kornblith presents an account of inductive inference that addresses both its metaphysical and epistemological aspects. He argues that inductive knowledge is possible by virtue of the fit between our innate psychological capacities and the causal structure of the world. Kornblith begins by developing an account of natural kinds that has its origins in John Locke's work on real and nominal essences. In Kornblith's view, a natural kind is a s…

    Hilary Kornblith, Hilary� KornblithARTICLEThe Philosophical Review1983Cited by: 30

    ne of the central projects of epistemological theorizing is the task of discovering the rules of ideal reasoning, both deductive and nondeductive. Another project involves appraising the beliefs of particular agents, or of particular communities. One obvious way to carry out this second project, assuming that the first has been completed, is to compare the manner which the subject under study arrived at the belief question with the rules of ideal…
