Disjunctivism, contextualism and the sceptical aporia
Synthese 171 (3) (2009)
| Abstract | We know things that entail things we apparently cannot come to know. This is a problem for those of us who trust that knowledge is closed under entailment. In the paper I discuss the solutions to this problem offered by epistemic disjunctivism and contextualism. The contention is that neither of these theories has the resources to deal satisfactory with the problem. | |||||||||
