Kinds of warrant : a Confucian response to Plantinga's theory of the knowledge of the ultimateIn M. T. Stepani͡ant͡s (ed.), Knowledge and Belief in the Dialogue of Cultures, Council For Research in Values and Philosophy. 2009.The paper uses Alvin Plantinga’s notion of “warrant” as a reference to show that Confucian beliefs are warranted in a different sense. It is warranted through an immanent reflection, determination, and manifestation of human virtues, not through a transcendental plan. By comparing Plantinga’s theory of warranted Christian beliefs and the Confucian approach to its own beliefs, I try to explain why Confucians are not worried about whether their beliefs are in general true or not.
