International Journal for the Study of Skepticism, 2016
This introduction gives a summary of the content of the special issue Hinge Epistemology, grouping the papers in three sections: (1) more exegetical accounts of Wittgenstein’s notion of hinge certainties and their bearing on a theory of justification and knowledge as well as on the topic of external world scepticism; (2) papers critical of the very ...

Hinge Epistemology

2017
In Hinge Epistemology, eminent epistemologists investigate Wittgenstein's concept of basic certainty or 'hinge certainty'. The volume begins by examining the salient features of 'hinges': Are they propositions that enjoy a special kind of non-evidential justification?

Which Hinge Epistemology?

International Journal for the Study of Skepticism, 2016
The paper explores the idea of a “hinge epistemology,” considered as a theory about justification (and knowledge) which gives center-stage to Wittgenstein’s notion of hinges. First, some basic methodological considerations regarding the relationship between merely exegetical work on Wittgenstein’s texts and more theoretically committed work are put ...

The Case for a Feminist Hinge Epistemology

Wittgenstein-Studien, 2019
Abstract In this paper I make the case for a feminist hinge epistemology in three steps. My first step is to explain hinge epistemologies as contemporary epistemologies that take Wittgenstein’s work in On Certainty as their starting point. My second step is to make three criticisms of this literature as it currently stands. My third step

Social Hinge Epistemology

Abstract Hinge epistemology builds on Wittgenstein’s insight in On Certainty that justification and knowledge always depend on a system of assumptions, or “hinges” (OC 341–343). It has been subjected to various developments over the years.

Inescapable Hinges: A Transcendental Hinge Epistemology

2021
In this paper I discuss a new kind of hinge epistemology which is called transcendental hinge epistemology. According to view, hinges are immune from doubt because it is impossible to doubt them coherently, and this impossibility arises because any attempt to doubt them will presuppose their truth.

Hinge Epistemology and Alethic Pluralism

2021
I provide a reconstruction of a recent argument presented by Annalisa Coliva—the Alethic Challenge—that puts pressure her own version of propositional framework of hinge epistemology. Coliva has suggested that a way out from the Alethic Challenge is to hold that the truth of hinge propositions has a deflationary nature and that her hinge epistemology ...

Extended Rationality. A Hinge Epistemology

The Philosophical Quarterly, 2015
The book proposes a novel account of perceptual justification, indebted to Wittgenstein's idea that justifaction always takes place within a system of assumptions, which play the role of hinges for our empirical inquiries. It shows how it can be coupled with an anti-sceptical strategy, whereby epistemic rationality extends to its conditions of ...

Quasi-fideist Presuppositionalism: Cornelius Van Til, Wittgenstein, and Hinge Epistemology

Philosophia Reformata, 2023
Abstract I argue that the epistemology underlying Cornelius Van Til’s presuppositional apologetic methodology is quasi-fideist. According to this view, the rationality of religious belief is dependent on absolutely certain ungrounded grounds, called hinges. I further argue that the quasi-fideist epistemology of presuppositional apologetics explains why

Hinge Epistemology, Radical Skepticism, and Domain Specific Skepticism

International Journal for the Study of Skepticism, 2019
This paper explores how hinge epistemology (specifically, Duncan Pritchard’s brand of hinge epistemology) might fruitfully be applied not only to the problem of radical skepticism, but also to certain domain specific (or ‘local’) skepticisms, and in particular, moral skepticism.
