• Disjunctivism can be extended beyond perceptual knowledge, so a unified Pritchardean account of memory knowledge is a viable project if the perceptual account is viable.
• ED-M says that memory knowledge that p is acquired through rational support consisting in remembering that p; this support entails p and is reflectively accessible to the subject.

• Practical memory does not, on its face, produce propositional memory knowledge, while semantic and episodic memory are the obvious candidates to do so.

These are challenges this argument’s reasoning pattern must still withstand. Answering them on Isonomia strengthens the argument.

• Does the case fit the category?Answer under review
  Draft answer

  The paper identifies the relevant class as memory knowledge that p acquired through remembering that p, where the remembered proposition supplies factive and reflectively accessible support. It further limits the account to memory knowledge involving propositional belief. Paper basis — "ED-M is a claim about memory knowledge that S acquires in virtue of being in possession of rational support R (i.e., remembering that p) for her belief that p , which is both factive" (An Epistemological Disjunctivist Account of Memory Knowledge, p. 7). Reconstructed from Kwok Chung Him et al. (2023); machine-drafted from the paper, filed for review.
