List

We’re going to start going through Michael Bergmann’s book Justification Without Awareness in my special topics seminar. I had a lot of fun with our Knowledge of God reading group over at Prosblogion, and I thought it would be good to do something similar for each chapter in Bergmann’s book. So starting next week I’ll post about each chapter as we go through it in my seminar.

Preview
Bergmann’s book is divided into two parts. In the first part, he develops and defends a dilemma against internalism about epistemic justification. In the second part of the book he develops and defends an interesting version of proper functionalism. That’s all for now. Detailed discussion of chapter 1 is coming soon.

    At my university, anyway, I can examine an e-book version of this text for free. Cool! If I have the time, then, I’ll read along with y’all.
