Chisholm, Naturalism, and the Role of Logic in Epistemology
Traditionally, the pre-theoretic notion of epistemic justification is thought to possess two properties: accessibility and truth-conduciveness. Epistemic justification is thought to be accessible in the sense that an agent S who is justified to believe a proposition p is in a position, even if only in principle, to access the item (assertion or cognition) that justifies p—whether that item be a...
متن کاملTowards an Evolutionary Epistemology
This work concerns a non-traditional approach to logic and epistemology, based on a challenging, albeit conjectural, articulation of views proceeding from Evolutionary Psychology and Biology, Non-Monotonic and Decision Logics, and Artificial Intelligence. The hinges to the latter inevitably suggest the emergence of an innovative symbiotic form of evolutionary epistemology. Evolution and the Bra...
متن کاملPlantinga’s Probability Arguments Against Evolutionary Naturalism
In Chapter 12 of Warrant and Proper Function, Alvin Plantinga constructs two arguments against evolutionary naturalism, which he construes as a conjunction E&N . The hypothesis E says that “human cognitive faculties arose by way of the mechanisms to which contemporary evolutionary thought directs our attention (p. 220).” With respect to proposition N , Plantinga (p. 270) says “it isn’t easy to ...

متن کاملIs Naturalism Normative? The Function of Epistemic Norms Within Naturalized Epistemology
The topic of the paper is the problem of normativity within naturalized epistemology. The question I pose is whether naturalism can be conducted as a normative enterprise or whether it is merely descriptive as traditional epistemologists maintain. If they are to be faithful to their philosophical presuppositions naturalists cannot deliver traditionally understood substantive account of normativ...
