Coherentism and the symmetry of epistemic support
Analysis 68 (299):226–234 (2008)
| Abstract | In this paper I prove that holistic coherentism is logically equivalent to the conjunction of symmetry and quasi-transitivity of epistemic support and a condition on justified beliefs. On the way I defend Tom Stoneham from a criticism made by Darrell Rowbottom and prove a premiss of Stoneham’s argument to be an entailment of coherentism. | |||||||||
