It is widely agreed amongst epistemologists of logic that such justification cannot be internalist. One key reason offered for this view is that internalist accounts of justification are susceptible to Carroll-style regresses. In this talk\, I examine this claim and argue that internalist accounts of justification are not open to such regresses. I further argue that the sorts of externalist accounts of the justification of logical principles typically put forward as alternatives are inadequate.

Using evidence from conversational analysis I show that Goldberg is wrong to claim that our linguistic communities de facto conform to this norm in conversation. Instead\, I argue that norms similar to NSR are temporarily enacted by means of exercitive speech acts. If this is right\, and contra Goldberg\, silencing is the function served by these norms rather than a product of NSR’s misapplication. Finally\, I argue that because of the bounded nature of human rationality\, we would not wish a system of human communication aiming at the epistemic goals of persuasion and the sharing of information to have NSR as one of its norms.

Drawing on a framework provided by the United Nations of the “right to know\,” I argue that victims of gross violations and injustices not only have the right to know what happened\, but also the right to be known—to be a giver of knowledge to others about their own experiences. I show how such victims can suffer epistemic wrongs by being rendered invisible\, vilified or demonized\, or systematically distorted\, and that these ways of not being known demand epistemic reparations. While there are traditional reparations that are epistemic in nature\, such as memorialization and education\, I argue that there is a prior and arguably more important epistemic reparation—knowing victims of gross violations and injustices in the sense of bearing witness. I conclude by sketching an epistemological picture to underwrite this notion of epistemic reparations\, one that significantly expands the traditional picture by including epistemic duties that are imperfect in nature and concern actions in addition to beliefs.

Extractivist epistemologies work analogously to extractivist capitalism: seeking an epistemic resource of some sort—such as a piece of pharmacological knowledge held by an indigenous community or rural healer concerning the medicinal potential of a given plant\, or an artifact from an indigenous funeral site. The extractivist approach to knowledge treats this epistemic resource as a piece of knowledge that can be separated from the social context and identities of its origin without epistemic loss. In so doing\, extractivist practices change the items that are abstracted. I will show how this is this is an epistemic problem and not simply an ethical problem.

In this sense a Constructivist thinks there are correct moral procedures dictated from the ‘moral point of view’ (Street\, 2008/2010)\, the following of which both gives answers to moral questions and justifies the moral values we receive as answers (Darwall et.al.\, 1992). From this\, a moral semantics view can follow in which moral terms are ‘explained by identifying the kinds of inferences (for example\, about means and ends) one must be making in order to count as employing normative concepts at all.’ (Street\, 2010) \nDespite basing their accounts on moral practice\, the correct moral procedures and moral point of view which constructivism evinces are considered to be monological. That is\, there is one correct moral point of view and one set of correct moral procedures for justifying moral values. \nI will argue that this is a mistake\, and that an alternative\, pluralist version of meta-ethical constructivism is both available and preferable. This pluralist meta-ethical constructivism is built out of an altogether different understanding of construction: feminist social construction. \nThe resultant view has both independent support and is able to overcome some challenges which face traditional constructivism\, most notably what I call “the thick/thin dilemma”.

Knowledge by mathematical proof is a standard paradigm of a priori knowledge. However\, I will argue that the two types of knowledge have so much in common that the a priori – a posteriori distinction cannot go very deep.

I propose a novel metasemantic account which draws on Lewis’ insights by taking language to be a solution to a repeated strategy problem\, while rejecting the idea that this strategy problem is always characterized by common interests. On this account\, communication is a privileged function of language\, but it is not unique; language also serves to establish and maintain social control and social identity.
