Question 3 Karen says she doesn’t believe

Question 9 Being intellectually virtuous
helps us to avoid common mistakes in our thinking that keeps us from knowledge.
Question 10 Aristotle thought that the
virtues are present naturally in all people.
Question 11 If skepticism is an

Question 12 Robert is a scientist who
firmly believes in empirical truths and the physical laws of causality (e.g.
when he builds a fire in his fireplace, it will produce heat), but he expresses
serious reservations about the rational credibility of whether there are
objective moral virtues, such as goodness, or whether such a being as the
traditional God of theism does in fact exist. In such a case, Robert is
expressing a form of
Question 13 To suggest that we should
suspend all judgments about any claim to knowledge, is to suggest a softer and
mitigated form of skepticism in contrast to its more unmitigated expressions.
Question 14 When Descartes employs
systematic doubt against the beliefs he holds, he discovers that:
Question 15 Among some of the reasons why
unmitigated skepticism is difficult for a person to consistently hold as a
serious philosophical position is because
Question 16 If Jacob thinks there is
overwhelming evidence for the existence of God, especially in light of what he
thinks is the apparent design and finetuning of the universe, but John claims
that the obvious existence of evil argues against the rationality of Jacob’s
belief in the existence of God, then John has
Question 17 If an individual is an
externalist in terms of epistemic warrant, then that person thinks that
Question 18 Select the one below that is
NOT a difficulty with W.K. Clifford’s approach to evidentialism
Question 19 Ginger believes that the dog
she sees in her neighbor’s back yard is her own Labrador Retriever named Sam.
Since there are no other Labrador Retrievers in the neighborhood fitting the
same description as Sam, and since the dog Ginger sees in her neighbor’s yard
seems to recognize Ginger’s voice when she calls out to it, Ginger quite
naturally believes the dog in her neighbor’s back yard is her dog Sam. It turns
out, however, that the dog in her neighbor’s back yard is in fact not Ginger’s
dog but the Labrador of a visiting relative of her neighbor. On an internalist
account of justification, since it turns out not to be true that Ginger saw her
dog Sam in her neighbor’s back yard, Ginger was not justified in believing it
was her own dog in the first place.
Question 20 While Clifford’s form of
evidentialism may have its difficulties, most contemporary epistemologists
agree that it is, at the very least, not a selfdefeating position, and this is
part of what makes it a good option for epistemic justification.
Question 1 Coherentism holds that some
beliefs are more foundational than others.
Question 2 A major criticism that
internalism raises against externalism is:
Question 3 Clifford was a:
Question 4 When considering our noetic
structure we recognize that we hold beliefs in varying degrees of strength.

defeasible is to say;

humility can be described as the mean between:
Question 7 For Aristotle, the “Golden Mean”
points to fixed and universal ethical norms for all people to follow.
Question 8 Aristotle thought that the
virtues are present naturally in all people.
Question 9 Which is not one of the ways
that Wood says moral and intellectual virtues parallel each other?
Question 10 Being intellectually virtuous
helps us to avoid common mistakes in our thinking that keeps us from knowledge.
Question 11 Rather than having certainty
about our beliefs, it is more likely that we have varying degrees of rational
support for our beliefs.
Question 12 According to Dew and Foreman,
most rational people believe that it is extremely rarely for our senses to
mislead us.
Question 13 When the used car salesman
tells Steve that the particular car he is considering purchasing has less than
fifteen thousand actual miles on it, Steve is, quite naturally, a bit skeptical
about this claim, particularly since the car is over ten years old and looks a
little worse for wear. In exhibiting this level of doubt, Steve is expressing:
Question 14 Hume thinks that, while we may
assume connections of causality (i.e., every event has a cause), we never
actually perceive a necessary connection of causality and therefore we cannot
know a causal connection has actually occurred.
Question 15 One of the factors that fuels
skepticism is our inability to demonstrate epistemic certainty about many of
the beliefs we think are true.
Question 16 Select the one below that is
NOT a difficulty with W.K. Clifford’s approach to evidentialism
Question 17 Coherentism in epistemology is
a position which holds that a particular belief is justified for a person so
long as that belief is consistent with everything else that person holds to be
true.
Question 18 If an individual is an
externalist in terms of epistemic warrant, then that person thinks that
Question 19 Those holding to some form of
externalism in rationality tend to argue that, since it is impossible for
persons to have any cognitive access to the reasons and evidence that support some
of a person’s beliefs, internalists cannot be right with respect to their
account of justification for all beliefs.
Question 20 According to reliabilism, in
order for a person’s belief to be rational, that person must at least:
Question 1 Christopher Columbus was

Mean” points to fixed and universal ethical norms for all people to follow.

skepticism is our inability to demonstrate epistemic certainty about many of
the beliefs we think are true.
Question 12 If Robert thinks that the only
way in this world for a person to know whether God exists is to have some kind
of sensory experience of God, along with an active mind that is able to
process, structure and arrange ones experiences in a way that makes sense to
him, then Robert would be following Kant in thinking that:
Question 13 Rather than having certainty
about our beliefs, it is more likely that we have varying degrees of rational
support for our beliefs.
Question 14 Hume thinks that, while we may
assume connections of causality (i.e., every event has a cause), we never
actually perceive a necessary connection of causality and therefore we cannot
know a causal connection has actually occurred.
