Chris Kelp (University of Glasgow): 'Understanding and Conjunction Closure'
Abstract: A common motivation for denying the closure of justification under conjunction introduction is that it leads to paradox. In this paper, we argue that any adequate account of understanding involves rejecting the idea that agglomeration of justification across conjunctions is limited in the way critics of closure think it is, and we explore some of the epistemological implications of this insight.
