Defeat is the loss of justification for believing something in
light of new information. This Element mainly aims to work towards
developing a novel account of defeat. It distinguishes among three
broad views in the epistemology of defeat: scepticism, internalism,
and externalism and argues that that sceptical and internalist
accounts of defeat are bound to remain unsatisfactory. As a result,
any viable account of defeat must be externalist. While there is no
shortage of externalist accounts, the Element provides reason to
think that extant accounts remain unsatisfactory. The Element also
explains the constructive tasks of developing an alternative
account of defeat and showing that it improves on the competition.
