Introduction

Fitelson, Branden; Braden, Cherie

Pages: 1 –12

[Themes from Klein: Knowledge, Scepticism, and Justification is a collection of essays written to honor retiring philosopher Peter D. Klein, whose work has been and continues to be influential in the ongoing development of contemporary epistemology. Klein has done important work on skepticism,...

Reflective Knowledge

Sosa, Ernest

Pages: 15 –23

[It might be thought that reflective knowledge is of interest only to puzzle-solving intellectuals in their armchairs, that the knowledge of general interest is the “animal” sort, so that reflective knowledge deserves by comparison little more than a footnote. But this overlooks the fact that the...

Epistemically Useful Falsehoods

Elgin, Catherine Z.

Pages: 25 –38

[In “Useful False Beliefs,” Peter Klein argues that the justification required for knowledge can contain a false belief essentially. When this happens, the agent arrives at her conclusion via a chain of inference that includes a false belief. He illustrates his argument with cases that depend on...
Available

Theoretical Unity in Epistemology

Kvanvig, Jonathan L.

Pages: 39 –56

[Epistemology is more than the theory of knowledge. It involves reflection on and theorizing about cognitive successes from a purely theoretical or intellectual point of view, one that brackets other concerns such as practical, moral, and aesthetic ones. Knowledge is certainly one success of this...

Accurate Enough, Comprehensive Enough, and Reasonable Enough Belief

Foley, Richard

Pages: 57 –70

[Peter Klein’s defeasibility theory has considerable appeal, but it cannot deal with cases in which someone’s beliefs are as accurate as humanly possible but don’t satisfy all the requirements of epistemic justification. Since this person would seem to know things that the rest of us don’t, it’s...
Available

Knowledge, despite Evidence to the Contrary

Borges, Rodrigo

Pages: 71 –88

[Can new evidence against what one knows defeat one’s knowledge? It depends on whom you ask. Strong views of knowledge claim that knowing cannot be defeated by counterevidence. Weak views of knowledge claim that knowing can be defeated by counterevidence. I discuss recent versions of those views...
Available

A Causal Aspect of Epistemic Basing

Shope, Robert K.

Pages: 89 –107

[An epistemologist who treats one’s having a justified belief that p as a requirement for one’s knowing that p typically maintains that at least sometimes that justified status arises in virtue of (possessing/appreciating/deploying) reasons for which one believes that p. It continues to be...
Available

The Moral Transcendental Argument against Skepticism

Zagzebski, Linda

Pages: 111 –128

[Transcendental arguments against skepticism argue that the skeptical argument depends on, as a necessary condition for its formulation, the falsehood—or, more weakly, the unbelievability—of the skeptical hypothesis. In this chapter, I offer a series of arguments that the skeptic’s hypothesis...
Available

Epistemic Humility, Defeat, and a Defense of Moderate Skepticism

Ryan, Sharon

Pages: 129 –143

[This chapter will argue for a moderate form of skepticism. Moderate skepticism is the view that human beings know far less than is normally credited to them. Although I believe Peter Klein has refuted a radical form of skepticism that serves as familiar fodder for philosophical debate, the...

Klein, Skepticism, Epistemic Closure, and Evidential Underdetermination

de Almeida, Claudio

Pages: 145 –168

[The effort to understand Peter D. Klein’s work on (so-called) Cartesian skepticism is simply not optional to anyone wishing to become familiar with state-of-the-art scholarship on the problem. Nearly four decades ago, Klein developed the invariantist pro-closure response to Fred Dretske’s...
