Open-access LOGICAL KNOWLEDGE AND ORDINARY REASONING: MORE THAN CONSIDERING, LESS THAN BELIEVING

ABSTRACT

In her article “Logical knowledge and ordinary reasoning”, Besson (2012) argued that the dispositional notion of logical knowledge is doomed to failure. As a response, Steinberger and Murzi (2013) suggested a new criterion of logical knowledge, which seems to avoid Besson’s objections. In this paper, I argue that this new approach is mistaken, for the demands that it imposes over the agent are too weak. Then, I develop a modified criterion that is not affected by most of the objections.

Keywords
Logical knowledge; Logical consequence; Dispositionalism; Logical constants; Epistemic norms.
