4.9/5 (24185 ratings)

Description:It's an obvious enough observation that the standards that govern whether ordinary speakers will say that someone knows something vary with context: What we are happy to call knowledge in some (low-standards) contexts we'll deny is knowledge in other (high-standards) contexts. But do these varying standards for when ordinary speakers will attribute knowledge, and for when they are in some important sense warranted in attributing knowledge, reflect varying standards for whenit is or would be true for them to attribute knowledge? Or are the standards that govern whether such claims are true always the same? And what are the implications for epistemology if these truth-conditions for knowledge claims shift with context? Contextualism, the view that the epistemicstandards a subject must meet in order for a claim attributing knowledge to her to be true do vary with context, has been hotly debated in epistemology and philosophy of language during the last few decades. In The Case for Contextualism Keith DeRose offers a sustained state-of-the-art exposition and defense of the contextualist position, presenting and advancing the most powerful arguments in favor of the view and against its invariantist rivals, and responding to the mostpressing objections facing contextualism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
