Fallibilism: Evidence and Knowledge
Oxford: Oxford University Press (2018)
Abstract
Fallibilists claim that one can know a proposition on the basis of evidence that supports it even if the evidence doesn't guarantee its truth. Jessica Brown offers a compelling defence of this view against infallibilists, who claim that it is contradictory to claim to know and yet to admit the possibility of error.Author's Profile
