Knowledge and Presuppositions develops a novel account of epistemic
contextualism based on the idea that pragmatic presuppositions play
a central role in the semantics of knowledge attributions.
According to Blome-Tillmann, knowledge attributions are sensitive
to what is pragmatically presupposed at the context of ascription.
The resulting theory--Presuppositional Epistemic Contextualism
(PEC)--is simple and straightforward, yet powerful enough to have
far-reaching and important consequences for a variety of hotly
debated issues in epistemology and philosophy of language.
In this book, Blome-Tillmann first develops Presuppositional
Epistemic Contextualism and then explores its ability to resolve
various sceptical paradoxes and puzzles. Blome-Tillmann also
defends PEC against familiar and widely discussed philosophical and
linguistic objections to contextualism. In the final chapters of
the book PEC is employed to illuminate a variety of concerns
central to contemporary discussions of epistemological issues, such
as Gettier cases, Moorean reasoning, the nature of evidence, and
other current problems and puzzles.
