DE BRASI, Leandro. Closure intuitions and restrictionIntuiciones y restricción del Principio de Cierre. Prax. filos. [online]. 2014, n.38, pp.225-248. ISSN 0120-4688.

In this article I consider some alleged intuitive costs concerning the denial of the full generality of the Principle of Closure for knowledge. Usually philosophers dismiss such denial as highly counter-intuitive but I argue that, at least with regard to the alleged costs here considered, this is wrong: given our folk-intuitions, there are no such costs. So a fallibilist who seeks to halt the closure-based sceptical argument can restrict the principle with no such intuitive costs

Palavras-chave : Closure Principle; Transmission Principle; Fallibilism; Scepticism; Abominable Conjunction.
