Reason and Explanation: A Defense of Explanatory Coherentism

by Ted Poston

Book Overview

In this new explanationist account of epistemic justification, Poston argues that the explanatory virtues provide all the materials necessary for a plausible account of justified belief. There are no purely autonomous reasons. Rather reasons occur only within an explanatory coherent set of beliefs.
