Part Ii: Metaphysics Part I: Epistemology Terms of Epistemic Appraisal
نویسنده
چکیده
Roderick Chisholm’s work spans six decades and an impressive range of subjects. His books and articles on Brentano and Meinong, together with his work as a translator and editor, and as director of the Brentano Foundation, brought Anglo-American analytic philosophy back into contact with the riches of the Austrian philosophical tradition. He wrote several important papers on the foundations of ethics and axiology (e.g. Chisholm 1963, 1974). But Chisholm is best known for his many contributions to epistemology and metaphysics.

متن کاملErratum to: Epistemic Closure and Epistemic Logic I: Relevant Alternatives and Subjunctivism
Epistemic closure has been a central issue in epistemology over the last forty years. According to versions of the relevant alternatives and subjunctivist theories of knowledge, epistemic closure can fail: an agent who knows some propositions can fail to know a logical consequence of those propositions, even if the agent explicitly believes the consequence (having “competently deduced” it from ...
متن کاملThe Division of Epistemic Labor in Democracy
Thomas Christiano claims that one of the fundamental challenges democracy is faced with is the appropriate division of epistemic labor between citizens and experts. In this article I try to present and analyze Christiano’s solution from the perspective of social epistemology while utilizing the concepts and tools provided by this discipline. Despite fundamentally agreeing with his position, I a...
