According to philosophical lore, epistemological orthodoxy is a
purist epistemology in which epistemic concepts such as belief,
evidence, and knowledge are characterized to be pure and free from
practical concerns. In recent years, the debate has focused
narrowly on the concept of knowledge and a number of challenges
have been posed against the orthodox, purist view of knowledge.
While the debate about knowledge is still a lively one, the
pragmatic exploration in epistemology has just begun. This
collection takes on the task of expanding this exploration into new
areas. It discusses how the practical might encroach on all areas
of our epistemic lives from the way we think about belief,
confidence, probability, and evidence to our ideas about epistemic
value and excellence. The contributors also delve into the
ramifications of pragmatic views in epistemology for questions
about the value of knowledge and its practical role. Pragmatic
Encroachment in Epistemology will be of interest to a broad range
of epistemologists, as well as scholars working on virtue theory
and practical reason.
