Conclusive reasons, knowledge, and action
Philosophical Issues 22 (1):35-52 (2012)
Abstract
The article presents information on the capabilities of Dretske-style analysis of knowing (DAK) and of several competing analyses with respect to accounting for the apparent facts. It informs that the DAK can ground plausible verdicts about knowledge and ignorance in cases involving lotteries. It further informs that the knowledge-efficacy donor imply the implausible thesis.Author Profiles
