19733 | Externalist theories don't explain why knowledge has value [Greco] |
Full Idea: Externalist theories do not give knowledge the sort of value that internalists want knowledge to have. | |
From: John Greco (The Value Problem [2011], Intro) | |
A reaction: [He cites Pritchard 2008] This is not a very strong argument, given the uncertainties and complexities in the idea that we share a 'value'. If the value of knowledge is really instrumental (and loved no less because of that), then externalism could cope. |
