Robert Audi
(1941-)
Robert Audi's work focuses on epistemology, ethical intuitionism, and theory of action .
Audi describes himself as a moderate
foundationalist. He says that his account of
justification is
internalist.
Knowledge depends on direct evidence such as perception or
a priori knowledge. Examples of
a priori knowledge include self-evident propositions that are clearly true, such as "nothing is round and square." Perceptions such as "I see red" are equally clear and are "experiential" grounds for
justification. "Perception is epistemologically fundamental," he says.
For Audi, knowledge does not entail justification and so his account of knowledge is
externalist
