Greetings all,
This coming Monday, 1.00-2.30 in the philosophy common room Stephen
Hetherington (UNSW) will be talking to us about "CONTRASTIVISM?
CONTEXTUALISM? GRADUALISM"
Abstract:
There are theories of knowledge - and there are theories of just some
features of knowledge. This paper discusses three competing instances
of the latter kind of theory - gradualism, contextualism, and
contrastivism. The paper endorses gradualism, a theory flowing from a
simple idea about knowledge - and a theory with which we might readily
supplant contextualism and contrastivism. Gradualism allows differing
grades of knowledge, even of the one state of affairs. This is because
you can know the state of affairs in more or less detail, more or less
fully and extensively.
