Epistemic Justification

"It is a wonderful treat for anyone interested in epistemology to find an exchange on the most basic epistemological problems between two such distinguished practicioners as BonJour and Sosa. This debate is conducted with the mastery and sophistication we have come to expect from them. Epistemic Justification is particularly valuable because not only does each author present and defend a position, but each responds at considerable length to the other." William P. Alston, Syracuse University

"BonJour and Sosa offer a penetrating exploration of the internalism/externalism controversy in epistemology. While they vigorously and effectively argue for quite different conclusions, the ability of both philosophers to clearly, fairly, and sympathetically evaluate alternative views results in an outstanding philosophical debate that contributes greatly to our understanding of some of the most fundamental issues in epistemology." Richard Fumerton, University of Iowa

"The format , and the eminence of each author, makes the book a valuable addition to the field for practitioners, but also potentially useful as an introduction to many of the most basic problems of contemporary epistemology." Choice, December 2003

“This book is both a livelv debate between two top epistemologists and a recapitulation of the main lines of the debate about epistemic justification over the last few decades. This makes it at once appropriate for undergraduate courses in epistemology as well as for graduate seminars. This debate is … always rewarding.” Review of Metaphysics
