Reason and Explanation by T Poston

Reason and Explanation by T Poston

In this new explanationist account of epistemic justification, Poston argues that the explanatory virtues provide all the materials necessary for a plausible account of justified belief. There are no purely autonomous reasons. Rather reasons occur only within an explanatory coherent set of beliefs.

“In this interesting book, Ted Poston delivers an original and powerful defence of explanatory coherentism about justification… an inspiring monograph that actually advances research in this field Scholars and postgraduates interested in the recent debate on coherentism about epistemic justification should definitely read this book.” (Luca Moretti, The Philosophical Quarterly, Vol. 67 (266), January, 2017) 

Ted Poston is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of South Alabama, USA. His primary areas of research are epistemology and philosophy of science. He has written many articles in journals such as American Philosophical Quarterly, Dialectica, Episteme, Oxford Studies in Philosophy of Religion, Philosophical Studies, Philosophy and Phenomenology Research, Res Philosophica, and The Southern Journal of Philosophy.
