New Issues in Epistemological Disjunctivism cover

This book explores the nuances of epistemological disjunctivism, addressing its history, contemporary issues, and extensions to other forms of knowledge, making it essential for scholars in the field.

This volume is the first to focus exclusively on epistemological disjunctivism, exploring its historical context and contemporary relevance. It begins with a thorough examination of the historical background, featuring essays that delve into the thoughts of influential philosophers such as Immanuel Kant, J.L. Austin, Edmund Husserl, and Ludwig Wittgenstein. By providing a rich historical tapestry, the book sets the stage for understanding the evolution of epistemological disjunctivism.

The second section of New Issues in Epistemological Disjunctivism addresses pressing contemporary issues, including the relationship between epistemological and perceptual disjunctivism, as well as the challenges posed by radical skepticism. These essays not only highlight the ongoing debates within the field but also offer fresh perspectives on the implications of disjunctivism for our understanding of belief and justification.

Finally, the third part of the volume extends the discussion to various forms of knowledge beyond traditional epistemological boundaries. This includes considerations of testimonial knowledge, knowledge of other minds, and self-knowledge. By broadening the scope of epistemological disjunctivism, the contributors invite readers to consider its relevance across different areas of philosophy. Overall, New Issues in Epistemological Disjunctivism is a significant contribution that will engage researchers and graduate students alike, fostering deeper inquiry into this vital philosophical topic.

"Here Casey Doyle, Joe Milburn, and Duncan Pritchard have collected seventeen very nice essays that, in my view, not only reflect well the cutting edge but also serve to advance the discussion in interesting and productive directions."Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
