Topic for Fourth Paper
August 3rd, 2009
Write a 2-3 page paper on the following topic:
Choose one of the three constructivist theses discussed in Boghossian’s Fear of Knowledge (i.e. constructivism about facts/justification/rational-explanation). Explain the thesis of your choice and say how it bears on the doctrine of “Equal Validity.” Present what you take to be the most powerful argument for the constructivist thesis (you may present one of the arguments discussed in the book or make up your own argument). Is it a good argument? Why/why not?
