Beskrivning

A Virtue Epistemology presents a new approach to some of the oldest and most gripping problems of philosophy, those of knowledge and scepticism. Ernest Sosa argues for two levels of knowledge, the animal and the reflective, each viewed as a distinctive human accomplishment. By adopting a kind of virtue epistemology in line with the tradition found in Aristotle, Aquinas, Reid, and especially Descartes, he presents an account of knowledge which can be used to shed light on different varieties of scepticism, the nature and status of intuitions, and epistemic normativity.

Recensioner i media

Sosa's book is admirable in its insistence that externalism is consistent with epistemic credit, and in its refusal to get bogged down in intuition slinging. Moreover, there are rich discussions of several topics, in particular the epistemic status of dreams and the force of intuitions in philosophy.
