Perceptual knowledge

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores epistemological disjunctivism through the works of Duncan Pritchard, Alain Millar, and Christoph Kelp, highlighting their critiques and shortcomings. It proposes a synthesis of first-knowledge-epistemology and ability epistemology, focusing on Wittgenstein's concept of axial propositions. The authors argue for a Wittgensteinian approach that aligns with a "pure" first-knowledge-epistemology, asserting that knowledge should be defined as a "successful" opinion—true and justified—while addressing the conceptual nature of Gettier cases and the need for a pragmatic closure between justification and fact.
