So, how should we organize the rich array of demands on wisdom, satisfying at the same time the usual epistemological desiderata? I propose that we take as our guide the two-level accounts in epistemology, above all the one of Sosa (e.g., Sosa, 2007) combining reliability on the first level with coherence on the second. The idea is that reliability...
Let me now pass to the central kind of knowledge at the basic level, namely self-knowledge. Lao-Tzu teaches us: “Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom.” Socrates would probably agree, and so would many of his followers. But why is self-knowledge important? Well, I should know myself in order to be able to predict how vario...
At the first level, the relevant cognitive and motivational elements are minimally reflective, in the sense of being made compatible with local, pressing concerns, so that the focus is not purely atomic, nor seriously holistic, but rather “molecular,” taking into account the nearest competitors only. So, phronesis-generated preferences already cont...
We should now place this proposal within the wider virtue-epistemological setting. So, why knowledge, and not just true belief? What about skepticism? There is a skeptical tradition, running from Academic skepticism in antiquity to Montaigne and his disciple (and adopted son) Charron, that claims that a skeptic, at least a moderate skeptic, can be ...

May 6, 2021 · Understanding is the epistemic benefit we receive from idealizations, and understanding and truth can come apart. On this view, understanding (unlike knowledge) can therefore be “non-factive” (Elgin 2004, 2017; Potochnik 2017; cf. Sullivan & Khalifa 2019).
