On the Very Idea of Undercutting Defeat
Logos and Episteme 12 (4):403-412 (2021)
Abstract
My aim in this paper is to cast doubt on the idea of undercutting defeat by showing that it is beset by some serious problems. I examine a number of attempts to specify the conditions for undercutting defeat and find them to be defective. Absent further attempts, and on the basis of the considerations offered, I conclude that an adequate notion of undercutting defeat is lacking.Author's Profile
