Information Versus Knowledge in Confirmation Theory
Logique Et Analyse 226:137-149 (2012)
Abstract
I argue that so-called 'background knowledge' in confirmation theory has little, if anything, to do with 'knowledge' in the sense of mainstream epistemology. I argue that it is better construed as 'background information', which need not be believed in, justified, or true.Author's Profile
