On the Differentia of Epistemic Justification
Öz
How are we to distinguish epistemic justification for believing a
proposition from other sorts of justification one might have for believing it?
According to what I call the received view about the differentia of epistemic
justification, epistemic justification is intimately connected to “the cognitive goal
of arriving at truth” in a specific way no other sorts of justification can possibly
be. However, I will argue that the received view is mistaken by showing that there
are cases in which pragmatic justification for believing a proposition is related to
the cognitive goal of arriving at truth in a way epistemic justification is supposed
to be. The paper will close with a brief assessment of two possible rejoinders the
received view might make to my objection.
