Skepticism and Contextualism
In Jonathan Ichikawa (ed.), The Routledge Handbook of Epistemic Contextualism. Routledge. pp. 131--144 (2017)
| Abstract |
According to some powerful skeptical arguments, we know almost nothing. Contextualist
theories of knowledge ascriptions have been developed with an eye toward resisting
skepticism. Have the contextualists succeeded? After briefly outlining their view, I will
consider whether contextualism about knowledge ascriptions provides a satisfactory
response to one of the most popular and influential forms of skepticism. I conclude with
some questions for the contextualist. As we’ll see, the effectiveness of the contextualist
solution to skepticism is far from settled.
