Question

The “Great Pumpkin” objection attacks a position named for this field that was co-developed by William Alston. Linda Zagzebski developed a neo-Aristotelian (20[1])view in this field (20[1])inspired by Ernest Sosa’s The Raft and the Pyramid. (20[2])Alvin Plantinga’s “reformed” variant of this field holds certain claims to be “properly basic.” Susan Haack (20[1])synthesized two major positions in this field as “foundherentism.” A paper in this field describes a (*) “case” in which Smith and Jones (10[1])apply (10[2])for the same job, (10[1])and Jones (10[1])has ten coins in his pocket. (10[1])Edmund Gettier critiqued (10[3])the Meno (10[2])and Theaetetus’s (10[1])definition of this field’s central concept as “justified true belief.” (10[4])For 10 points, (10[3])what field of (10[1])philosophy is (10[1])the study of knowledge? (10[1])■END■ (10[7])

ANSWER: epistemology [accept reformed epistemology; accept virtue epistemology; prompt on philosophy of knowledge until “knowledge” is read; prompt on belief or epistemic justification; prompt on philosophy until read]
