Zusatztext this collection will be of great use not only to those who want to get a taste of recent work in epistemology, but also to those who want to understand why epistemologists regard the semantics, cognitive bases and social roles of knowledge ascriptions as worthy objects of study. Informationen zum Autor Jessica Brown studied at Oxford before taking up positions in Bristol and then St Andrews. She is now Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Arché Philosophical Research Centre in St Andrews. She works mainly in epistemology, as well as the methodology of philosophy. Current interests include the nature and value of knowledge, the debate between contextualists and invariantists, and epistemic norms governing assertion and practical reasoning.; Mikkel Gerken acquired his PhD at UCLA in 2007 before returning to his native Denmark. He is currently a post doc at the University of Copenhagen. He works primarily in the intersection of epistemology and philosophy of mind but has broad interests that overlap with philosophy of language, (philosophy of) cognitive psychology, select topics in philosophy of science and metaphysics as well as the methodology of philosophy. Klappentext A team of world class philosophers offer novel approaches to the complex debate of how we ascribe knowledge to subjects. They address the methodological issues that knowledge ascriptions raise, and explore three recent approaches to knowledge ascriptions: a linguistic turn, a cognitive turn, and a social turn.
