Knowledge-closure and skepticism
In Quentin Smith, Epistemology: new essays. New York : Oxford University Press,: Oxford University Press. pp. 137-188 (2008)
Abstract
This chapter begins with some preliminary remarks about epistemic closure principles, knowledge-closure principles in particular, and the role of knowledge-closure principles in sceptical argumentation. It discusses some implausible knowledge-closure principles and identifies two key problems for such principles. The chapter then discusses more plausible knowledge-closure principles and their possible use in sceptical argumentation.Author Profiles
