Abstract

espanolLa epistemologia de virtudes pura se enfrenta al reto de los falsos graneros. Este articulo explica como superarlo. Asi, se constata que el experimento mental es ambiguo respecto de la habilidad visual tipicamente atribuida, o negada, a los sujetos del ejemplo. La desambiguacion muestra que dichos sujetos tienen conocimiento limitado de la proposicion relevante (v.g., que hay un granero enfrente). Esto casa con la epistemologia de virtudes pura, que predice y explica todas las intuiciones producidas por el ejemplo. Con ello se esclarece la relacion entre las nociones de conocimiento, suerte y habilidad, y se mejora nuestra teorizacion epistemologica. EnglishPure virtue epistemology faces the fake barn challenge. This paper explains how it can be met. Thus, it is argued that the thought experiment contains a hidden ambiguity concerning the visual ability typically ascribed to, or denied, fake barn subjects. Disambiguation shows fake barn subjects to have limited knowledge of the target proposition (e.g. that there is a barn ahead). This accords with a pure virtue-theoretic conception of knowledge that predicts and explains all the intuitions elicited by the thought experiment. As a result, the relationship between knowledge, luck and ability is illuminated, and our epistemological theorizing improved.
假谷仓和我们的认识论理论
纯美德认识论面临着假谷仓的挑战。这篇文章解释了如何克服它。因此,心理实验对于通常归因于或否认的视觉能力是模糊的。消除歧义表明,这些受试者对相关命题的知识有限(例如,前面有一个谷仓)。这与纯美德认识论相一致,纯美德认识论预测和解释由例子产生的所有直觉。它阐明了知识、运气和能力概念之间的关系,并改进了我们的认识论理论。英国纯美德认识论面临着假牛群的挑战。这篇论文解释了它是如何实现的。因此,it is argued that the thought experiment contains a wooldridge ambiguity关于视觉能力typically ascribed to, or,举了谷仓主体的一部分。消除歧义表明,假谷仓对象对目标命题的知识有限(例如,有一个谷仓在前面)。This with a pure virtue-theoretic协定概念of knowledge that predicts and explains all the intuitions控告by the thought experiment。因此,the relationship between knowledge,运气和能力是illuminated, and our epistemological theorizing改善。
