(Original title: BonJour’s Internalist Foundationalism and Epistemic Virtues)
Filozofia, 78 (2023), 2, 77 - 85.
Abstract
BonJour’s argumentative strategy underlying his account of internalist empirical foundationalism posits a descriptive relation between an empirical belief and the corresponding sensory experience.

(Original title: What Makes a Similarity Superficial? An Exercise in the Methodology of the History of Philosophy)
Filozofia, 78 (2023), 2, 128 - 135.
Abstract
The essay reports on the author’s attempts to demonstrate similarities between prima facie divergent thinkers.

The paper examines these objections and proposes an understanding of the relevant concept of superficiality as a consequence of what Alan Nelson… Read more
