C’est un plaisir de poursuivre une conversation de longue date avec la personne qu’on honore, au sujet de questions relatives à la nature de la croyance et de la manière dont elles affectent la théorie de la connaissance : la croyance peut-elle être de l’ordre de la performance? Peut-elle être vraiment motivée, beaucoup moins motivée de manière appropriée, par des raisons qui sont pragmatiques plutôt qu’épistémiques? Ce sont des questions sur lesquelles nous sommes en désaccord et que Engel inscrit dans (...) |

Why does it strike us as absurd to believe that it is raining and that one doesn’t believe that it is raining? Some argue that it strikes us as absurd because belief isnormative. The beliefs that it is raining and that one doesn’t believe that it is are, it is suggested, self-falsifying. But, so it is argued, it is essential to belief that beliefs ought not, among other things, be self-falsifying. That is why the beliefs strike us as absurd. I (...) |

Many virtue epistemologists conceive of epistemic competence on the model of skill —such as archery, playing baseball, or chess. In this paper, I argue that this is a mistake: epistemic competences and skills are crucially and relevantly different kinds of capacities. This, I suggest, undermines the popular attempt to understand epistemic normativity as a mere special case of the sort of normativity familiar from skilful action. In fact, as I argue further, epistemic competences resemble virtues rather than skills—a claim that (...) |

Virtue epistemology maintains that epistemic normativity is a kind of performance normativity, according to which evaluating a belief is like evaluating a sport or musical performance. I examine this thesis through the objection that a belief cannot be evaluated as a performance because it is not a performance but a state. I argue that virtue epistemology can be defended on the grounds that we often evaluate a performance through evaluating the result of the performance. The upshot of my account is (...) |

Le premier cahier de Philosophia Scientiæ est paru il y a plus de vingt ans, en juin 1996. Il a été édité par une jeune équipe des Archives Henri-Poincaré à Nancy et dirigé par le même rédacteur en chef dans un souci constant : promouvoir la recherche en philosophie des sciences, tout particulièrement en ce qui concerne la logique, l’informatique, les mathématiques et la physique, en s’inscrivant dans la tradition analytique, en prenant en compte l’histoire et la pratique des sciences, (...) |

Dans ces réponses aux objections de mes amis, je m’attache à préciser mes vues sur le scepticisme, le réalisme, la connaissance, le jugement, les expériences de pensée et la croyance. |

I demarcate skills from other kinds of cognitive and bodily abilities and I discuss old and novel issues that arise for the epistemology of skills. |
