“Goodness, Availability, and Argument Structure”
On a widely shared conception of inferential justification, an agent is inferentially justified in believing that p only if she has an antecedently justified belief in each non-redundant premise of a good argument for p. Here I focus on two underexplored questions that, I think, seriously complicate the application of this conception to cases. First: what is a good argument? Second: what counts as a relevantly complete representation of a given argument form?
