Beschreibung
The internalism-externalism debate is one of the oldest debates in epistemology. Internalists assert that the justification of our beliefs can only depend on facts internal to us, while externalists insist that justification can depend on additional, for example environmental, factors. In this book Clayton Littlejohn proposes and defends a new strategy for resolving this debate. Focussing on the connections between practical and theoretical reason, he explores the question of whether the priority of the good to the right (in ethics) might be used to defend an epistemological version of consequentialism, and proceeds to formulate a new 'deontological externalist' view. His discussion is rich with insights and will be valuable for a wide range of readers in epistemology, ethics and practical reason.

Über den Autor
Clayton Littlejohn is a Lecturer in Philosophy at King's College London. He has published a number of articles on epistemology and ethical theory in journals including the Journal of Philosophy and American Philosophical Quarterly.
Zusammenfassung
Littlejohn challenges the traditional evidentialist view of justification by arguing that a person's intellectual responsibilities depend largely upon the moral responsibilities they have. Written for academic researchers, graduate students and advanced undergraduates of ethics studies and epistemology, the book addresses some long-standing disputes about the ethics of belief.
