Abstract

Radical foundationalism has been criticized strongly especially after the second half of the past century. Coherentist justification has emerged as an alternative to foundationalist justification that was waning as a result of philosophers’ criticism such as W. V. Quine, Wilfrid Sellars, Nicholas Rescher, Keith Lehrer. According to Ernest Sosa who is one of the leading champions of contemporary virtue epistemology, both coherentist and foundationalist doctrines of justification are false. In this paper, I describe Sosa’s criticism of the two views on the structure of knowledge.

Özet

Radikal temelcilik geçen yüzyılın özellikle ikinci yarısından sonra ciddi biçimde eleştirilmiştir. W. V. Quine, Wilfrid Sellars, Nicholas Rescher, Keith Lehrer gibi filozofların eleştirileri neticesinde bağdaşımcı gerekçelendirme zayıflayan temelci gerekçelendirmeye alternatif olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Önde gelen çağdaş erdem epistemolojisi savunucularından Ernest Sosa’ya göre her iki gerekçelendirme doktrini de yanlıştır. Burada bilginin yapısına dair bu iki önemli görüşe yönelik Sosa’nın eleştirilerine yer veriyorum
