Abstract
This chapter examines Ernest Sosa’s epistemological views primarily as they have been set forth in his two volumes on Reflective Knowledge. As the title of this chapter might suggest, the chapter ultimately concentrates on the way in which Sosa tries to develop the concept of a more intellectually satisfying concept of justification and knowledge, in the form of a concept of second-level knowledge (that he sometimes links to the Cartesian scientia). The author worries that if second-level knowledge gets fundamentally the same analysis as first-level knowledge, the internalist will feel that there is a disconnect between “rising above the animals” and gaining philosophically relevant assurance.
