What is anti-luck epistemology?

Anti-luck epistemology implies that Green almost-knows because her belief is true as a matter of knowledge-precluding luck.

What is safety epistemology?

ABSTRACT: Safety, as discussed in contemporary epistemology, is a feature of true beliefs. Safe beliefs, when formed by the same method, remain true in close-by possible worlds. I argue that our beliefs being safely true serves no recognisable epistemic interest and, thus, should play no role in epistemology.

What is the difference between safety and sensitivity?

Roughly, safety concerns how easily a factual finding (or a belief) could be false. Roughly, sensitivity concerns whether a factual finding would be made (or a belief held) if it were false.

What is the sensitivity condition on knowledge?

The sensitivity condition on knowledge says that one knows that P only if one would not believe that P if P were false. Difficulties for this condition are now well documented. Keith DeRose has recently suggested a revised sensitivity condition that is designed to avoid some of these difficulties.

What is anti luck intuition?

This is the intuition that. when one knows, one’s cognitive success (that is, one’s believing truly) is not a matter of luck. Call this the anti-luck intuition .

Does knowledge require sensitivity?

Knowledge entails safe belief (the safety principle). Knowledge entails sensitive belief (the sensitivity principle). Safety and sensitivity fare equally well when it comes to a range of cases involving knowledge-undermining epistemic luck.

What is the safety condition?

Safe condition means a condition that does not pose or constitute an undue or unreasonable hazard or risk to life, limb or health of any person on or about the property, and includes a structurally sound condition. Sample 1.

What are the principles of epistemology?

They discuss closure, belief-forming method, the value of knowledge, testimony, adherence, dispositions, skepticism, evidentialism, necessary truths, induction, epistemic luck, easy knowledge and bootstrapping, and safety.

Does knowledge depend on luck?

We found that knowledge attributions are highly sensitive to lucky events that change the explanation for why a belief is true. By contrast, knowledge attributions are surprisingly insensitive to lucky events that threaten, but ultimately fail to change the explanation for why a belief is true.

Is knowledge compatible with luck?

a. Epistemologists have long agreed with Plato that epistemic luck is incompatible with knowledge.
