Forget and Forgive: A Practical Approach to Forgotten Evidence

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: We can make new progress on stalled debates in epistemology if we adopt a new practical approach, an approach concerned with the function served by epistemic evaluations.This paper illustrates how.I apply the practical approach to an important, unsolved problem: the problem of forgotten evidence.Section 1 describes the problem and why it is so challenging.Section 2 outlines and defends a general view about the function of epistemic evaluations.Section 3 then applies that view to solve the problem of forgotten evidence.
