Luck permeates our lives, and this raises a number of pressing
questions: What is luck? When we attribute luck to people,
circumstances, or events, what are we attributing? Do we have any
obligations to mitigate the harms done to people who are less
fortunate? And to what extent is deserving praise or blame affected
by good or bad luck? Although acquiring a true belief by an
uneducated guess involves a kind of luck that precludes knowledge,
does all luck undermine knowledge? The academic literature has seen
growing, interdisciplinary interest in luck, and this volume brings
together and explains the most important areas of this research. It
consists of 39 newly commissioned chapters, written by an
internationally acclaimed team of philosophers and psychologists,
for a readership of students and researchers. Its coverage is
divided into six sections: I: The History of Luck II: The Nature of
Luck III: Moral Luck IV: Epistemic Luck V: The Psychology of Luck
VI: Future Research. The chapters cover a wide range of topics,
from the problem of moral luck, to anti-luck epistemology, to the
relationship between luck attributions and cognitive biases, to
meta-questions regarding the nature of luck itself, to a range of
other theoretical and empirical questions. By bringing this
research together, the Handbook serves as both a touchstone for
understanding the relevant issues and a first port of call for
future research on luck.
