Jeremy Fantl, Matthew McGrath

Knowledge in an Uncertain World C

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Fantl and McGrath explore the relation between knowledge, reasons, and justification. They argue that you can rely on what you know in action and belief, since what you know can be a reason you have and you can rely on your reasons. But the assumption that knowledge allows for a chance of error makes this a controversial position in epistemology.
