This collection of papers (including three completely new ones) by
one of the foremost philosophers in epistemology transcends two of
the most widely misunderstood positions in
philosophy--foundationalism and coherentism. Audi proposes a
distinctively moderate, internalist foundationalism that
incorporates some of the virtues of both coherentism and
reliabilism. He develops important distinctions between positive
and negative epistemic dependence, substantively and conceptually
naturalistic theories, dispositional beliefs and dispositions to
believe, episodically and structurally inferential beliefs, first
and second order internalism, and rebutting as opposed to refuting
skepticism. These contrasts are applied not only to rational
belief, but to rational action and the rationality of desires and
intentions. The overall position is a pluralist, moderately
rationalistic, internalist theory of justification and a partly
externalist conception of knowledge. However, by virtue of offering
a theory of rationality as well as an account of knowledge and
justified belief, it will interest philosophers of ethics, science,
and the social sciences and teachers and students of epistemology.
