{"product_id":"epistemological-disjunctivism-duncan-pritchard-9780198708964","title":"Epistemological Disjunctivism","description":"Duncan Pritchard offers an original defence of epistemological disjunctivism. This is an account of perceptual knowledge which contends that such knowledge is paradigmatically constituted by a true belief that enjoys rational support which is both factive and reflectively accessible to the agent. In particular, in a case of paradigmatic perceptual knowledge that \u003cem\u003ep\u003c\/em\u003e, the subject's rational support for believing that \u003cem\u003ep\u003c\/em\u003e is that she \u003cem\u003esees that p\u003c\/em\u003e, where this rational support is both reflectively accessible and factive (i.e., it entails p). Such an account of perceptual knowledge poses a radical challenge to contemporary epistemology, since by the lights of standard views in epistemology this proposal is simply incoherent. Pritchard's aim in \u003cem\u003eEpistemological Disjunctivism\u003c\/em\u003e is to show that this proposal is theoretically viable (i.e., that it does not succumb to the problems that it appears to face), and also to demonstrate that this is an account of perceptual knowledge which we would want to endorse if it were available on account of its tremendous theoretical potential. In particular, he argues that epistemological disjunctivism offers a way through the impasse between epistemic externalism and internalism, and also provides the foundation for a distinctive response to the problem of radical scepticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Duncan Pritchard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198708963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198708964\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.50w x 0.50d","brand":"Duncan Pritchard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44159190761727,"sku":"9780198708964","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b05feefe-f640-45eb-b0f3-985474046aa8.jpg?v=1689081148","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/epistemological-disjunctivism-duncan-pritchard-9780198708964","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
