Duncan Pritchard offers an original defence of epistemological
disjunctivism. This is an account of perceptual knowledge which
contends that such knowledge is paradigmatically constituted by a
true belief that enjoys rational support which is both factive and
reflectively accessible to the agent. In particular, in a case of
paradigmatic perceptual knowledge that p, the subject's rational
support for believing that p is that she sees that p, where this
rational support is both reflectively accessible and factive (i.e.,
it entails p). Such an account of perceptual knowledge poses a
radical challenge to contemporary epistemology, since by the lights
of standard views in epistemology this proposal is simply
incoherent. Pritchard's aim in Epistemological Disjunctivism is to
show that this proposal is theoretically viable (i.e., that it does
not succumb to the problems that it appears to face), and also to
demonstrate that this is an account of perceptual knowledge which
we would want to endorse if it were available on account of its
tremendous theoretical potential. In particular, he argues that
epistemological disjunctivism offers a way through the impasse
between epistemic externalism and internalism, and also provides
the foundation for a distinctive response to the problem of radical
scepticism.
