Previous issue date: 2018-08-24 / This dissertation addresses the evidentialism in the light of contemporary analytical epistemology or the theory of knowledge, notably that sustained by Richard Feldman and Earl Conee. In the first part of the paper I approach the theories of internalist and externalist justification as theories that deal with the origin of justification. Then I try to relate them to theories about the structure of justification. From this perspective, internalism was related to foundationalism, coherentism and infinitism. And, externalism has been related to causal theory, tracking theory, reliabilism, and the theory of proper function. In the second part, the Evidentialist Theory of Judgment or Evidentialism in Conee & Feldman is discussed, where besides the definition of evidence I present the classification between synchronic justification and diachronic justification, as well as propositional justification and doxtic justification. The second part also examines the relationship between 'epistemic justification and truth' and the relation between 'evidence and belief', also addressing the principle of underdetermination and some objections to the evidentialism of Conee & Feldman. / O presente trabalho pretende ser uma introdu??o ao evidencialismo em epistemologia anal?tica contempor?nea ou teoria do conhecimento, destacadamente ?quele sustentado por Richard Feldman e Earl Conee. Na primeira parte do trabalho eu abordo as teorias da justifica??o internista e externista como teorias que tratam da origem da justifica??o. Em seguida procuro relacionar as mesmas com teorias sobre a estrutura da justifica??o. Por essa perspectiva o internismo foi relacionado com o fundacionismo, o coerentismo e o infinitismo. E, o externismo foi relacionado com a teoria causal, a teoria do rastreamento, o confiabilismo e a teoria da fun??o apropriada. Na segunda parte ? abordada a Teoria Evidencialista da Jutisfica??o ou Evidencialismo em Conee e Feldman, onde al?m da defini??o de evid?ncia apresento a classifica??o entre justifica??o sincr?nica e justifica??o diacr?nica, bem entre justifica??o proposicional e justifica??o dox?stica. Ainda, nessa segunda parte ? examinada a rela??o entre ?justifica??o epist?mica e verdade? e a rela??o entre ?evid?ncia e cren?a?, abordando tamb?m o princ?pio da subdetermina??o e algumas obje??es ao evidencialismo de Conee e Feldman.

Embryo Adoption: Implications of Personhood, Marriage, and ParenthoodMcMillen, Brooke Marie 14 April 2008 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / One’s personal claims regarding personhood will influence his moral belief regarding embryo adoption. In Chapter One, I consider the personhood of the human embryo. If the human embryo is a person, we are morally obligated to permit the practice of embryo adoption as an ethical means to save human persons. However, for those who do not claim that an embryo is a person at conception, embryo adoption is not a necessary practice because we have no moral obligation to protect them. There are still others who claim that personhood is gained at some point during gestation when certain mental capacities develop. I offer my own claim that consciousness and sentience as well as the potential to be self-conscious mark the beginning of personhood.
Embryo adoption raises several questions surrounding the institution of marriage. Due to its untraditional method of procreation, embryo adoption calls into question the role of procreation within marriage. In Chapter Two, I explore the nature of the marriage relationship by offering Lisa Cahill’s definition of marriage which involves both a spiritual and physical dimension, and then I describe the concept of marriage from different perspectives including a social, religious, and a personal perspective. From a personal perspective, I explore the relationship between marriage and friendship. Finally, I describe how the concept of marriage is understood today and explore the advantages to being married as opposed to the advantages of being single.
Embryo adoption changes the way we customarily think about procreation within a family because in embryo adoption, couples are seeking an embryo from another union to be implanted into the woman. This prompts some philosophers to argue that embryo adoption violates the marriage relationship. In Chapter Three, I further consider the impact of embryo adoption on the family as an extension of the marital relationship as well as the impact of embryo adoption on the traditional roles of motherhood and fatherhood. I examine motherhood by looking at how some philosophers define motherhood and when these philosophers claim a woman becomes a mother. After considering these issues regarding motherhood, I examine the same issues surrounding fatherhood.
