| Abstract | William Alston’s argument against Deontological Theories of Epistemic Justification constitutes a classic$and much debated$piece of contemporary epistemology. At the heart of Alston’s argument, however, lies a very simple mistake which, surprisingly, appears to have gone unnoticed in the vast literature now devoted to the argument. After having shown why the standard response to Alston’s argument doesn’t work, we diagnose the mistake and offer a plausible hypothesis as to why it has remained concealed for so long. | |||||||||
