Duncan Pritchard offers an original defence of epistemological disjunctivism. This is an account of perceptual knowledge which contends that such knowledge is paradigmatically constituted by a true belief that enjoys rational support which is both factive and reflectively accessible to the agent. In particular, in a case of paradigmatic perceptual knowledge that p, the subject's rational support for believing that p is that she sees that p, where this rational support is both reflectively accessible and factive (i.e., it entails p). Such an account of perceptual knowledge poses a radical challenge to contemporary epistemology, since by the lights of standard views in epistemology this proposal is simply incoherent. Pritchard's aim in Epistemological Disjunctivism is to show that this proposal is theoretically viable (i.e., that it does not succumb to the problems that it appears to face), and also to demonstrate that this is an account of perceptual knowledge which we would want to endorse if it were available on account of its tremendous theoretical potential. In particular, he argues that epistemological disjunctivism offers a way through the impasse between epistemic externalism and internalism, and also provides the foundation for a distinctive response to the problem of radical scepticism.

Epistemological Disjunctivism is original and insightful and I can recommend it without reservation. excellent ... an original, sophisticated, and well-articulated position ... Pritchard's style is clear, accessible, and engaging. In addition to making an original contribution to the contemporary literature, this book would be well suited for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses on the epistemology of perceptual knowledge ... epistemological disjunctivism is a fascinating view that deserves critical scrutiny... Pritchard deserves credit for articulating this view so clearly and putting it on the agenda for discussion. Declan Smithies, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews This is an inspirational book. Duncan Pritchard dares to go where no contemporary epistemologist has gone before. Genia Schonbaumsfeld, University of Southampton Epistemological Disjunctivism stakes out an important new position in epistemology, one which has implications for many problems under current discussion. The position has both internalist and externalist elements, and if it can be made good, then, as Pritchard says, it would constiture the "Holy Grail" of epistemology. The book is pellucid and concise, and will be of value to scholars and graduate students, as well as advanced undergraduate courses. Anthony Brueckner, University of California, Santa Barbara Duncan Pritchard's book is the most robust and sustained defense of epistemological disjunctivism I know of. Since it advances various debates not only in epistemology but also in philosophy of mind, it will be a must-read not only for those interested in the theory of knowledge but also those interested in the nature and content of perceptual experience. Sanford Goldbery, Northwestern University This is a fascinating and first-rate contribution to an important topic. It is clearly written, covers the ground in a thorough and balanced way, and deals masterfully with the pertinent literature. It is a terrific book both for the layperson and the expert. Sven Bernecker, University of California, Irvine
