When we affirm (or deny) that someone knows something, we are
making a value judgment of sorts - we are claiming that there is
something superior (or inferior) about that person's opinion, or
their evidence, or perhaps about them. A central task of the theory
of knowledge is to investigate the sort of evaluation at issue.
This is the first book to make 'epistemic normativity,' or the
normative dimension of knowledge and knowledge ascriptions, its
central focus. John Greco argues that knowledge is a kind of
achievement, as opposed to mere lucky success. This locates
knowledge within a broader, familiar normative domain. By
reflecting on our thinking and practices in this domain, it is
argued, we gain insight into what knowledge is and what kind of
value it has for us.
