Knowledge ascriptions, such as 'Sam knows that Obama is president
of the United States', play a central role in our cognitive and
social lives. For example, they are closely related to epistemic
assessments of action. As a result, knowledge ascriptions are a
central topic of research in both philosophy and science. In this
collection of new essays on knowledge ascriptions, world class
philosophers offer novel approaches to this long standing topic.
The contributions exemplify three recent approaches to knowledge
ascriptions. First, a linguistic turn according to which linguistic
phenomena and theory are an important resource for providing an
adequate account of knowledge ascriptions. Second, a cognitive turn
according to which empirical theories from, for example, cognitive
psychology as well as experimental philosophy should be invoked in
theorizing about knowledge ascriptions. Third, a social turn
according to which the social functions of knowledge ascriptions to
both individuals and groups are central to understanding knowledge
ascriptions. In addition, since knowledge ascriptions have figured
very prominently in discussions concerning philosophical
methodology, many of the contributions address or exemplify various
methodological approaches. The editors, Jessica Brown and Mikkel
Gerken, provide a substantive introduction that gives an overview
of the various approaches to this complex debate, their
interconnections, and the wide-ranging methodological issues that
they raise.

The entire third series of the ITV costume drama following the lives and loves of those above and below stairs in an English stately home. With World War One finally over, the 1920s heralds the promise of a new age for those at Downton Abbey. But while the family prepare for the wedding of Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) and Matthew (Dan Stevens), Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) learns that the future of Downton is in grave jeopardy after the collapse of investments made with his wife (Elizabeth McGovern)'s fortune.
With the family beginning to gather for the wedding celebrations, a grand entrance by Cora's thoroughly modern mother, Martha Levinson (Shirley MacLaine), threatens to ruffle a few of the Dowager (Maggie Smith)'s feathers.
Assertion is a fundamental feature of language. This volume will be
the place to look for anyone interested in current work on the
topic. Philosophers of language and epistemologists join forces to
elucidate what kind of speech act assertion is, particularly in
light of relativist views of truth, and how assertion is governed
by epistemic norms.

All eight episodes from the second series of the award-winning ITV
costume drama following the lives and loves of those above and
below stairs in a stately home at the outbreak of World War One.
While Matthew (Dan Stevens) and Thomas (Rob James-Collier) are off
fighting at the Somme, both Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) and
William (Thomas Howes) feel frustrated at being barred from taking
part in the fighting. Meanwhile, Lady Sybil (Jessica Brown Findlay)
defies her aristocratic position and enlists in the Royal Army
Nursing Corps, while Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) puts on a brave
face when Matthew arrives home on leave with his future wife
Lavinia Swire (Zoe Boyle) in tow.
What strength of evidence is required for knowledge? Ordinarily, we
often claim to know something on the basis of evidence which
doesn't guarantee its truth. For instance, one might claim to know
that one sees a crow on the basis of visual experience even though
having that experience does not guarantee that there is a crow (it
might be a rook, or one might be dreaming). As a result, those
wanting to avoid philosophical scepticism have standardly embraced
"fallibilism": one can know a proposition on the basis of evidence
that supports it even if the evidence doesn't guarantee its truth.
Despite this, there's been a persistent temptation to endorse
"infallibilism", according to which knowledge requires evidence
that guarantees truth. For doesn't it sound contradictory to
simultaneously claim to know and admit the possibility of error?
Infallibilism is undergoing a contemporary renaissance.
Furthermore, recent infallibilists make the surprising claim that
they can avoid scepticism. Jessica Brown presents a fresh
examination of the debate between these two positions. She argues
that infallibilists can avoid scepticism only at the cost of
problematic commitments concerning evidence and evidential support.
Further, she argues that alleged objections to fallibilism are not
compelling. She concludes that we should be fallibilists. In doing
so, she discusses the nature of evidence, evidential support,
justification, blamelessness, closure for knowledge, defeat,
epistemic akrasia, practical reasoning, concessive knowledge
attributions, and the threshold problem.
Traditionally, the notion of defeat has been central to
epistemology, practical reasoning, and ethics. Within epistemology,
it is standardly assumed that a subject who knows that p, or
justifiably believes that p, can lose this knowledge or justified
belief by acquiring a so-called 'defeater', whether that is
evidence that not-p, evidence that the process that produced her
belief is unreliable, or evidence that she has likely misevaluated
her own evidence. Within ethics and practical reasoning, it is
widely accepted that a subject may initially have a reason to do
something although this reason is later defeated by her acquisition
of further information. However, the traditional conception of
defeat has recently come under attack. Some have argued that the
notion of defeat is problematically motivated; others that defeat
is hard to accommodate within externalist or naturalistic accounts
of knowledge or justification; and still others that the intuitions
that support defeat can be explained in other ways. This volume
presents new work re-examining the very notion of defeat, and its
place in epistemology and in normativity theory at large.
