Knowledge, Reflection, and Action
Knowledge, Reflection, and Action

Summary/Abstract: Our main topic is epistemic agency, which can be either free or unfree. This aligns with a distinction between two sorts of knowledge, the reflective and the animal. We first take up the nature and significance of these two sorts of knowledge, starting with the reflective. In a second section we then consider the nature of suspension and how that relates suspension to higher orders of meta-belief. Finally, we consider a distinction in epistemology between animal competence and reflective justification. All of these topics and distinctions are important for virtue epistemology, in ways to be considered.
