Dear all, Just a reminder that today at 1.00 Stephen Hetherington 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.
