FERNANDEZ VARGAS, Miguel Ángel. How to Justify Veritism. Diánoia [online]. 2011, vol.56, n.67, pp.155-176. ISSN 0185-2450.

This paper sketches a way to justify the central tenet of a veritistic theory of epistemic evaluation, in response to problems raised by Eleonora Cresto concerning my defense of veritism, against a series of objetions to the effect that veritistic epistemology is uncapable of explaining the nature and value of understanding. The first section presents the sketch of justification of the nucleus of a veritistic theory, the second responds to some of Cresto's more specific criticisms.

Palabras llave : epistemic value; understanding; epistemic evaluation; true belief.
