Krista Lawlor

Assurance

An Austinian View of Knowledge and Knowledge Claims

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

What is an assurance? What do we do when we claim to know? Krista Lawlor offers an original account based on the work of J. L. Austin. She addresses challenges to contextualist semantic theories; resolves closure-based skeptical paradoxes; and helps us tread the line between acknowledging our fallibility and skepticism.
