30Skepticism and Default AssumptionsMidwest Studies in Philosophy 45 291-307. 2021.A telic virtue-theoretic approach to gnoseology is developed. Two new concepts are introduced: the concept of default assumptions, and the concept of secure knowledge full well. A default assumption for a given domain of human performance is an assumption that agents in that domain can make with no negligence or recklessness as they perform in the domain. Knowledge full well is judgment or representation that attains success aptly, and whose aptness is also attained aptly. However, secure knowle…Read more

29A Rejoinder on Actions and De Re BeliefCanadian Journal of Philosophy 11 (4). 1981.Richard Feldman in ‘Actions and De Re Beliefs’ attacks ‘latitudinarian’ accounts of de re belief in terms of de dicta belief, including those defended in print by one or the other of us. Feldman's case against latitudinarian views rests on the claim that such accounts do not allow de re attitudes an explanatory role they obviously can fulfil.

It was very good to be reminded of all those issues that I had grappled with so intensely in earlier years, and I very much appreciated the opportunity to think about them again and to try to put them in perspective with the stimulus of the critical teams’ focused attention. I am very pleased and grateful for the intense attention and challenge to my views, and for the excellent comments. I will do my best to respond with some helpful disc…Read more

20Volume IntroductionThe Proceedings of the Twentieth World Congress of Philosophy 12 13-33. 2001.One enduring legacy of the twentieth century will be the slow, certain transformation of the world from insular civilizations to interactive societies enmeshed in global systems of electronic communication, economics, and politics. Financial news from Thailand or Brazil is often more important globally than political events in the old centers of power. Some bemoan the uncertainty and flux of all this. However, the mutual definition of the world’s societies presents an extraordinary opportunity t…Read more

18Judgment Puzzles. In Conversation With Pascal EngelPhilosophia Scientiae 21 165-180. 2017.C’est un plaisir de poursuivre une conversation de longue date avec la personne qu’on honore, au sujet de questions relatives à la nature de la croyance et de la manière dont elles affectent la théorie de la connaissance : la croyance peut-elle être de l’ordre de la performance? Peut-elle être vraiment motivée, beaucoup moins motivée de manière appropriée, par des raisons qui sont pragmatiques plutôt qu’épistémiques? Ce sont des questions sur lesquelles nous sommes en désaccord et que Engel insc…Read more
