Zusatztext [T]his is a clearly written and carefully argued book that has made significant progress in developing and defending episteÂmological disjunctivism -- it is a must -- read for anyone with interests in the epistemology of perception. Informationen zum Autor Duncan Pritchard is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh. His main research area is epistemology, and he has published widely in this field, including the books Epistemic Luck (Oxford University Press, 2005) and The Nature and Value of Knowledge (with A. Haddock & A. Millar, Oxford University Press, 2010). He is editor-in-chief of the journals Oxford Bibliographies Online: Philosophy (Oxford University Press) and (with D. Machuca) International Journal for the Study of Skepticism (Brill). In 2007 he was awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize. In 2011 he was elected to a Fellowship of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. In 2013 he delivered the annual Soochow Lectures in Philosophy in Taiwan, which will be published by Princeton University Press as Epistemic Angst: Radical Scepticism and the Groundlessness of Our Believing. Klappentext Duncan Pritchard offers an original account of perceptual knowledge. He argues that it is paradigmatically constituted by true belief that enjoys rational support which is both factive and reflectively accessible to the agent. This resolves the issue between intermalism and externalism! and poses a radical challenge to contemporary epistemology.
