An appraisal of the evolution of some of the main themes in Sosa’s epistemology

Uma avaliação da evolução de alguns dos principais temas da epistemologia da Sosa

Abstract:

In this article, I propose to trace the evolution of three central concepts in Sosa’s epistemology: the distinction between animal and reflective knowledge, closure principles, and the safety condition. These three planks played a central role in the early presentations of Sosa’s epistemology, but have recently undergone interesting changes.
