Removed from the article:

It is somewhat stubby because I lack the time and expertise to give a proper exploration of the different sorts of epistemic minimalism, the motivations behind it, and the precise arguments for and against it. Someone who has more of these scarce resources than I could do a great service by summarizing some of these issues. Also, there are many varieties of epistemic minimalism, and a taxonomy of these varities would also be helpful. Please edit at will.

Hurrah for Crispin Sartwell

Just a note that ever since I took Epistemology in undergraduate philosophy back in 1994, I've always thought that the so-called "Gettier Problem" is flawed (i.e. that there is no problem) and that justification was not needed for knowledge (i.e., knowledge=true belief). I wrote a draft paper about it back then and asked the dean of the department to look it over. He wasn't very encouraging. I've only recently become aware of Sartwell's article in 1991 and wish I had known about it way back when. —B|Talk 21:40, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
