Essays on A Priori Knowledge and Justification
Oxford University Press Inc (Verlag)
978-0-19-939575-0 (ISBN)
The first six essays provide the background and introduction to a number of the major themes of the book: the articulation and defense of the minimal conception of a priori justification, an exposition of the limitations of the traditional arguments both for and against a priori knowledge, and the relevance of empirical investigation to providing supporting evidence for the claim that there are nonexperiential sources of justification.
The remaining four published essays explore diverse themes that were introduced in Casullo's previous book but not developed in detail: epistemic overdetermination, the relationship between a priori knowledge and necessary truth, testimony and a priori knowledge, and the bearing of socio-historical accounts of knowledge on the a priori.
The four previously unpublished essays address issues that have either emerged or taken on more prominence in the literature on the a priori since the publication of Casullo's previous book: the evidential status of intuitions, the nature of modal knowledge, and challenges to the cogency or the significance of the a priori-a posteriori distinction.
Albert Casullo is Professor of Philosophy at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He is the author of A Priori Justification, the editor of A Priori Knowledge and the co-editor of The A Priori In Philosophy. His essays on the a priori have appeared in numerous journals and edited volumes.
