According to philosophical lore, epistemological orthodoxy is a purist
epistemology in which epistemic concepts such as belief, evidence, and
knowledge are characterized to be pure and free from practical
concerns. In recent years, the debate has focused narrowly on the
concept of knowledge and a number of challenges have been posed
against the orthodox, purist view of knowledge. While the debate about
knowledge is still a lively one, the pragmatic exploration in
epistemology has just begun. This collection takes on the task of
expanding this exploration into new areas. It discusses how the
practical might encroach on all areas of our epistemic lives from the
way we think about belief, confidence, probability, and evidence to
our ideas about epistemic value and excellence. The contributors also
delve into the ramifications of pragmatic views in epistemology for
questions about the value of knowledge and its practical role.
Pragmatic Encroachment in Epistemology will be of interest to a broad
range of epistemologists, as well as scholars working on virtue theory
and practical reason.
