Perceptual knowledge

En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores epistemological disjunctivism through the works of Duncan Pritchard, Alain Millar, and Christoph Kelp, highlighting their critiques and shortcomings. It proposes a synthesis of first-knowledge-epistemology and ability epistemology, focusing on Wittgenstein's concept of axial propositions. The authors argue for a Wittgensteinian approach that aligns with a "pure" first-knowledge-epistemology, asserting that knowledge should be defined as a "successful" opinion—true and justified—while addressing the conceptual nature of Gettier cases and the need for a pragmatic closure between justification and fact.
