Introduction

This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book considers epistemological disjunctivism in the context of other issues in epistemology and philosophy of mind. It explores disjunctivist treatments of other domains of knowledge, such as memory, testimony, introspection, and knowledge of other minds. The book examines the prospects for extending Duncan Pritchard’s disjunctivism to memory knowledge. Experiential memory knowledge is knowledge of the past that is grounded upon memory experience. The book discusses the viability of an epistemological disjunctivist treatment of testimonial knowledge. In addition to its insights about testimony, it provides a template for thinking about disjunctivism in other domains of knowledge. The book argues that the prospects of a disjunctivist account of experiential memory knowledge are as good as the prospects of such an account for perceptual knowledge.
