Traditionally, the notion of defeat has been central to
epistemology, practical reasoning, and ethics. Within epistemology,
it is standardly assumed that a subject who knows that p, or
justifiably believes that p, can lose this knowledge or justified
belief by acquiring a so-called 'defeater', whether that is
evidence that not-p, evidence that the process that produced her
belief is unreliable, or evidence that she has likely misevaluated
her own evidence. Within ethics and practical reasoning, it is
widely accepted that a subject may initially have a reason to do
something although this reason is later defeated by her acquisition
of further information. However, the traditional conception of
defeat has recently come under attack. Some have argued that the
notion of defeat is problematically motivated; others that defeat
is hard to accommodate within externalist or naturalistic accounts
of knowledge or justification; and still others that the intuitions
that support defeat can be explained in other ways. This volume
presents new work re-examining the very notion of defeat, and its
place in epistemology and in normativity theory at large.
