Steven Cahn belongs to that exclusive class of professors who have
not only contributed influentially to the leading debates of their
discipline, but have also written insightfully about the academic
vocation itself. This volume comprises 13 essays, authored by
Cahn's colleagues and former students, presented in his honor on
the occasion of his 25th year as Professor of Philosophy at the
City University of New York. The chapters focus on topics that have
been central to Cahn's philosophical work, such as the teaching of
Philosophy, the responsibilities of Philosophy professors, the
nature of happiness, and the concept of the good life.
In his widely influential two-volume work, Warrant: The Current
Debate and Warrant and Proper Function, Alvin Plantinga argued that
warrant is that which explains the difference between knowledge and
true belief. Plantinga not only developed his own account of
warrant but also mapped the terrain of epistemology. Motivated by
Plantinga's work, fourteen prominent philosophers have written new
essays investigating Plantingian warrant and its contribution to
contemporary epistemology. The resulting collection, representing a
broad array of views, not only gives readers a critical perspective
on Plantinga's landmark work, but also provides in one volume a
clear statement of the variety of approaches to the nature of
warrant within contemporary epistemology, and to the connections
between epistemology and metaphysics. Positions covered include
internalism and externalism, reliabilism, coherentism and
foundationalism, virtue theories, and defensibility theories. Alvin
Plantinga responds to the essays in his own contribution.
