Roderick Chisholm and The Shaping of American Epistemology
: Roderick Chisholm had a profound effect on the shape of American epistemology. In this article, I not only give an account of the large-scale structure of Chisholm's views but also say something about the place of Chisholmian themes in contemporary work. I thus present an understanding and an appreciation of Chisholm's contribution to epistemology by exhibiting a number of alternative developments of Chisholmian ideas that are currently under discussion.
