Plantinga's proper function account of warrantIn J. J. Kvanvig (ed.), Warrant and Contemporary Epistemology, Rowman and Littlefield, Savage, Maryland. 1996.Plantinga thus offers an approach that begins by assessing the faculties or abilities of a cognitive system or agent.

Crispin Wright argues persuasively that truth cannot be understood in terms of warranted assertibility, on the basis of some very simple facts about negation. The argument, he claims, undermines not only simply assertibility theories of truth, but more idealized ones according to which truth is to be understood in terms of what is assertible in the long run, or assertible within some ideal scientific theory.

119On Lemke's Defence of a Causal Basing RequirementAnalysis 47 (3). 1987.LEMKE has recently taken issue (see ANALYSIS 46.3, June 1986, pp. 138-44) with my claim that no counterfactual causal account of the basing relation is plausible (see ANALYSIS 45.3, June 1985, pp. 153-8). Intuitively, a counterfactual causal account claims that belief is based on evidence if and only if the evidence either causes the belief or would have caused it had the actual cause been absent. This intuitive formulation accounts only for counterfactual causes of level one: events which would…Read more
