Sumario:This article explores the topic of epistemic value and the ongoing debate between realism and anti-realism. The author defends a version of realism by addressing Hazlett's challenge, which raises questions about the source, uniqueness, and scope of epistemic evaluation. The article also discusses the concept of fundamental principles of epistemic value and their relationship to non-fundamental principles. It argues that proponents of Non-Nihilism, whether realists or anti-realists, are committed to the existence of fundamental principles of epistemic value. Additionally, the article addresses Hazlett's challenge regarding the Truth Principle and concludes by discussing whether epistemic value is a reducible or irreducible property.
