Description
Duncan Pritchard offers an original defence of epistemological disjunctivism, an account of perceptual knowledge that challenges standard views in contemporary epistemology. According to this proposal, perceptual knowledge is paradigmatically constituted by a true belief with rational support that is both factive and reflectively accessible. This radical challenge to traditional epistemology raises important questions about the nature of perception and knowledge. Pritchard's aim in Epistemological Disjunctivism is to demonstrate that this account is theoretically viable, offering a way through the impasse between epistemic externalism and internalism, as well as providing a foundation for responding to the problem of radical scepticism. By exploring the potential of epistemological disjunctivism, Pritchard provides a fresh perspective on the nature of perception and knowledge. This book is an important contribution to ongoing debates in philosophy, particularly in the areas of epistemology and logic.
