Dads drinking with their daughters

I was in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico last week for a bit of R&R. Puerto Vallarta is different from other places I’ve been to in Mexico. For one, it seems much more prosperous than anywhere else I’ve been to in Mexico, even Cabo San Lucas. This surprises me, since both Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas are tourist destinations; one expects each to be as prosperous as the other.

Chisholm on justification and evidence

Chisholm says in a parenthetical remark:

Some would characterize epistemic justification by reference to what “the evidence” requires or by reference to what one thinks that “the evidence” requires. But what do we mean by “the evidence” other than something providing some sort of epistemic justification? (“Firth and the Ethics of Belief”, p. 121)

A problem for evidentialism

Evidentialists about knowledge claim that a subject, S is propositionally justified in believing p iff S has adequate evidence for p (Conee and Feldman 1985: 15). In this post, I discuss a problem for the sufficiency of the proposed analysis.
