Epistemic Justification: Foundationalism and Beyond
number of things I believed to be true. A few examples: I believed I was in Port aux Basques, Newfoundland. I believed I was caught up on my student loan payments.

I believed all these things, but I was less confident in some of those beliefs than others. Why? One way of explain...
متن کاملOn epistemic logic with justification
The true belief components of Plato’s tripartite definition of knowledge as justified true belief are represented in formal epistemology by modal logic and its possible worlds semantics. At the same time, the justification component of Plato’s definition did not have a formal representation. This paper introduces the notion of justification into formal epistemology. Epistemic logic with justifi...
متن کاملEpistemic Closure and Skepticism
Closure is the epistemological thesis that if S knows that P and knows that P implies Q, then if S infers that Q, S knows that Q.

This mundane and seemingly innocent observation, nonethel...
متن کاملThe Role of Coherence in Epistemic Justification
Among many reasons for which contemporary philosophers take coherentism in epistemology seriously, the most important is probably the perceived inadequacy of alternative accounts, most notably misgivings about foundationalism. But coherentism also receives straightforward support from cases in which beliefs are apparently justified by their coherence. From the perspective of those against coher...
