“Jonathan Sutton”:http://faculty.smu.edu/jsutton/ has posted a manuscript of his book defending the claim that knowledge is justified true belief.

bq. “Without Justification”:http://faculty.smu.edu/jsutton/wholebook.pdf

If you as much as glance at the book you’ll see that while my little summary of the view is true, it’s about as cooperative as saying that Rhode Island isn’t the largest state. But no one reading this blog would take my word over the original source … I hope!

I hadn’t put all these facts together before, but SMU must be a pretty good place for talking about epistemology between Sutton and Mark Heller and Robert Howell.

Just to keep up my little campaign of promoting online books going, let me remind you of the other books I’ve plugged here before.

bq. Alva Noë, “Action in Perception”:http://ist-socrates.berkeley.edu/~noe/action.html
Mark Kalderon, “Moral Fictionalsm”:http://www.kalderon.demon.co.uk/research.htm (scroll down for the chapters)

And if you want other book length bits of philosophy, you could always read some of the online dissertations. Here’s a couple of the more talked about dissertations of recent years that happen to both be available online.

bq. Carolina Sartorio, “The Causal and the Moral”:http://philosophy.wisc.edu/sartorio/final.pdf
Cian Dorr, “The Simplicity of Everything”:http://www.pitt.edu/~csd6/SimplicityOfEverything.pdf
