Abstract | [Extract] ...it might seem that the part of the epistemology that has to do with appropriate belief and addresses questions about what we should believe will have little if anything to do with the part of epistemology that has to do with questions about the nature and extent of knowledge. 3 This chapter addresses questions that have recently come to the fore in contemporary discussions about the relationship between these two parts of epistemology. If these two parts of epistemology truly are distinct, we shouldn’t have to draw on the theory of knowledge in offering a theory of justified or normatively appropriate belief. The recent discussions of knowledge- first epistemology show that it will be incredibly difficult to maintain this separation. I shall point to some difficulties that arise for the standard story, starting with the Necessity Thesis and turning to an extended discussion of the Sufficiency Thesis. |
