PHIL2140D: The Epistemology of Inference

We will examine the nature of inference and inferential justification. Topics to be discussed include: (1) Is inference rule-governed? What does that come to? (2) Are there rules of inference that cannot rationally be doubted? (3) Is there a distinctive class of deductive inferences? (4) What explains our justification for employing deductive rules of inference? (5) What explains our justification for employing ampliative rules of inference? Undergraduates require instructor permission to enroll.

Offered Spring, 2010 by the Philosophy department(s).
