A number of well-developed theories shed light on the question under what circumstances our beliefs enjoy epistemic justification. Yet comparatively little is known about epistemic defeat-when new information causes the loss of epistemic justification. This book proposes and defends a detailed account of epistemic defeaters. The main kinds of defeaters are analyzed in detail and integrated into a general framework that aims to explain how beliefs lose justification. It is argued that defeaters introduce incompatibilities into a noetic system and thereby prompt a structured re-evaluation process that makes a justified reinstatement of the defeated belief impossible. The account is then applied to the topic of disagreement where it is used in an argument for conciliationism as well as a new explanation for higher-order defeat. Throughout the book the notion of defeat is the center of attention while a number of new issues are discussed at the intersections of defeat and justification. Specifically new problems are raised for broadly internalist accounts of defeat a fully descriptive reliabilist account of defeat is provided and the case for normative defeat is revisited.
