Abstract:
My aim in this thesis is to present a critique of the currently dominant approach to this problem, the broad-ranging epistemological position described herein as "justificationism." This critique of justificationism—the multifaceted doctrine that holds that epistemological justification is a necessary condition for rationality—forms the main thrust of the study, but there are several important subsidiary themes.
