Questions about skepticism and the nature of knowledge are at the forefront. The answers defended are new in theirexplicit and sustained focus on judgment and epistemic agency. While noting that human knowledge trades on distinctive psychological capacities, Sosa also emphasizes the role of the social in human knowledge. Basic animal knowledge is supplemented by a level of reflective knowledge focused onjudgment, and a level of "knowing full well" that is distinctive of the animal that is rational. | Judgment and Agency by Ernest Sosa, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
