Anti-luck Epistemology, Pragmatic Encroachment, and True Belief
Two common theses in contemporary epistemology are that 'knowl-edge excludes luck' and that knowledge depends on 'purely epistemic' factors.

متن کاملstakes, withholding, and pragmatic encroachment on knowledge
Several authors have recently defended the thesis that whether someone knows something can depend on actual or perceived practical factors of her situation, in addition to whether she believes it, the reasons for which she believes it, the available evidence, the truth-conduciveness of her environment, whether her faculties are reliable, and such other mundane factors on which knowledge is ordi...

This study is an analysis of such explicit certainty and doubt markers in epistemically modalized statements for a written news discourse. The study systematically accounts for five levels of writer’s certainty (ABSOLUTE, HIGH, MODERATE, LOW CERTAINTY ...
