Abstract |
An infuential twenty-first century philosophical project posits a central role for
knowledge: knowledge is more fundamental than epistemic states like belief and
justification. So-called “knowledge first” theorists find support for this thought
in identifying central theoretical roles for knowledge. I argue that a similar methodology supports a privileged role for more specific category of basic knowledge.
Some of the roles that knowledge first theorists have posited for knowledge generally
are better suited for basic knowledge.
