Not really one of your more enlightening posts, Robert. Querying whether Erin's dog really "knows" anything would have been more interesting. But an even more interesting question that emerges from the dog story is whether we can hold people morally responsible for their unjustified beliefs. (Well, it does take a few steps to get to it, I admit.) And if so, under what circumstances? For the past few months now, I've been haunted with the matter of whether epistemic virtues and moral virtues have some common root. If so, that would have distinct philosophical and educational implications (most of which I must admit presently elude me, most probably). Wondering what the list has to say about this question. As well as Erin's dog of course.
