How to Know: A Practicalist Conception of Knowledge Hardcover - 2011 - 1st Edition
by Stephen Hetherington
From the rear cover
Some key aspects of contemporary epistemology deserve to be challenged, and How to Know does just that. This book argues that several long-standing presumptions at the heart of the standard analytic conception of knowledge are false, and defends an alternative view. The result is a new conception of knowledge, according to which: knowledge is a kind of knowledge-how; Gettiered knowledge is possible (and so we may set aside epistemology's long-standing Gettier problem); knowledge admits of degrees or grades; and knowledge might not have to include epistemically justified belief. This is a distinctively practicalist conception of knowledge: knowledge is a complex ability, able to be stronger or weaker without having to be justificatory. On this view, knowledge is as knowledge can do.
