  • The Cambridge Handbook of Religious Epistemology

    Open AccessTyler Dalton Mcnabb, Max Baker-Hytch et al.BOOKCambridge Handbook of Religious…2023

    The Cambridge Handbook of Religious Epistemology, the first to appear on the topic, introduces the current state of religious epistemology and provides a discussion of fundamental topics related to the epistemology of religious belief. Its wide-ranging chapters not only survey fundamental topics, but also develop non-traditional epistemic theories and explore the religious epistemology endorsed by non-Western traditions. In the first section, Fai…

  • Sharing Knowledge

    John GrecoARTICLEThe Philosophical Review2023

    In this excellent book, Christoph Kelp and Mona Simion defend an etiological-functionalist account of the normativity of assertion. Specifically, the etiological function of assertion is to generate knowledge in hearers. Kelp and Simion argue that this functionalist thesis has two important implications: a) that epistemically good assertions are those that are disposed to generate knowledge in hearers, and b) that epistemically permissible assert…

  • What Is Social Epistemic Dependence

    John GrecoARTICLEPhilosophical Topics2021

    A central theme in social epistemology is that there are important and underappreciated phenomena involving social epistemic dependence—that is, epistemic dependence on other persons and on features of the broader social environment. Epistemologies that are inconsistent with this kind of dependence are labeled “individualist” and epistemologies that accommodate it are labeled “anti-individualist.” But how should the relevant notion of social epis…

  • Does anti-reductionism in the epistemology of testimony imply interest relativism about knowledge attributions

    Open AccessJohn GrecoARTICLEVeritas (Porto Alegre)2021Referências: 2

    Anti-reductionism in the epistemology of testimony is the thesis that testimonial knowledge is not reducible to knowledge of some other familiar kind, such as inductive knowledge. Interest relativism about knowledge attributions is the thesis that the standards for knowledge attributions are relative to practical contexts. This paper argues that anti-reductionism implies interest relativism. The notion of “implies” here is a fairly strong one: an…

  • Post-Gettier Epistemology

    Open AccessJohn GrecoARTICLEVeritas (Porto Alegre)2016

    In this paper, it is argued that the differences between Gettier-era epistemology and post-Gettier epistemology can be largely traced to differences in methodology. We will give a “rational reconstruction” of how we did things then, what we do now, and what considerations moved us to do things differently. In summary form, during the Gettier era the methodology of epistemology was roughly what Chisholm called “particularism” and Rawls called “the…

  • Epistemic Evaluation

    David K Henderson, John GrecoBOOKEpistemic Evaluation2015

    This volume aims to explore and apply a particular methodology in epistemology. The methodology is to consider the point(s) or purpose(s) of our epistemic evaluations, and to pursue epistemological theory in light of such matters. Call this purposeful epistemology. The idea is that considerations about the point and purpose of epistemic evaluation might fruitfully constrain epistemological theory and yield insights for epistemological reflection.

  • Episteme

    John GrecoCHAPTERVirtues and Their Vices2014

    This chapter articulates and defends a neo-Aristotelian account of understanding, modeled on Aristotle’s account of episteme as knowledge of causes. The account replaces Aristotle’s notion of ‘cause’ with a notion of dependence relations more generally. Dependence relations are various, including relations akin to Aristotle’s ‘four causes,’ but others as well, such as logical relations, mathematical relations, and various kinds of supervenience r…

  • Pritchard's Epistemological Disjunctivism

    John GrecoARTICLEThe Philosophical Quarterly2014

    This book is a qualified defence of ‘epistemological disjunctivism’, a view about visual perceptual knowledge that, according to Pritchard, ‘would represent the holy grail of epistemology’ if true (p. 1). The view is roughly this: In paradigm cases of visual knowledge, one's basis for knowing is both objectively related to the truth and reflectively accessible. The view would be ‘the holy grail’ in that it gives both internalists and externalists…

  • A (Different) Virtue Epistemology

    Open AccessJohn GrecoARTICLEPhilosophy and Phenomenological…2012Citada por: 38

    Section 1 articulates a genus‐species claim: that knowledge is a kind of success from ability. Equivalently: In cases of knowledge, S’s success in believing the truth is attributable to S’s ability. That idea is then applied to questions about the nature and value of knowledge. Section 2 asks what it would take to turn the genus‐species claim into a proper theory of knowledge; that is, into informative, necessary and sufficient conditions. That q…

  • Achieving Knowledge

    Open AccessJohn GrecoBOOKAchieving Knowledge2010

    When we affirm (or deny) that someone knows something, we are making a value judgment of sorts - we are claiming that there is something superior (or inferior) about that person's opinion, or their evidence, or perhaps about them. A central task of the theory of knowledge is to investigate the sort of evaluation at issue. This is the first book to make 'epistemic normativity,' or the normative dimension of knowledge and knowledge ascriptions, its…

  • The Oxford Handbook of Skepticism

    John GrecoBOOKThe Oxford handbook of philosophy…2008

    The Oxford Handbook of Skepticism features twenty-six newly commissioned articles by top figures in the field of skepticism. In the history of philosophical thought, few themes loom as large as skepticism. Skepticism has been the most visible and important part of debates about knowledge. Skepticism, at its most basic, questions our cognitive achievements, challenges our ability to obtain reliable knowledge. It casts doubt on our attempts to seek…

  • What's Wrong With Contextualism

    John GrecoARTICLEThe Philosophical Quarterly2008Citada por: 11Referências: 7

    This paper addresses two worries that might be raised about contextualism in epistemology and that carry over to its moral analogues: that contextualism robs epistemology (and moral theory) of a proper subject‐matter, and that contextualism robs knowledge claims (and moral claims) of their objectivity. Two theses are defended: (1) that these worries are appropriately directed at interest‐dependent theories in general rather than at contextualism …
