Includes bibliographical references and index. |
| Summary |
Keith DeRose presents, develops, and defends original solutions to two of the stickiest problems in epistemology: skeptical hypotheses and the lottery problem. He deploys a powerful version of contextualism, the view that the epistemic standards for the attribution of knowledge vary with context. |

Solving the skeptical problem -- Moorean methodology: was the skeptic doomed to inevitable defeat? -- Two substantively Moorean responses and the project of refuting skepticism -- Contextualism and skepticism: the defeat of the bold skeptic -- Lotteries, insensitivity, and a closure -- Insensitivity -- How do we know that we're not brains in vats? Toward a picture of knowledge. |
