Kolejny odczyt w ramach seminarium ZJR/The Next SLR Seminar Meeting: Knowing That One Believes Without Knowing That One Knows
Kolejny odczyt seminarium ZJR odbędzie się:

wygłosi odczyt:
Knowing That One Believes Without Knowing That One Knows
Abstrakt:
The so-called KK principle, which states that if one knows p, one is in position
to know that one knows that p, had been widely rejected in contemporary
epistemology, especially due to the influential anti-luminosity argument
presented by Timothy Williamson in his Knowledge and Its Limits (2000). In turn,
a similar skepticism was voiced against weaker “positive introspection”
principles featuring belief or justified belief in place of the knowledge
operator (see: Greco 2015). The aim of my paper will be to challenge this
consensus and argue that accepting Williamson’s argument does not justify such
skepticism.
I shall start by reconstructing Williamson’s anti-KK argument and considering
the possibility of adjusting it to other proposed positive introspection
principles: BB (Hintikka 1962), KB and BK (Stalnaker 2007). I will argue that
such arguments fail with respect to BB and KB principles, but present important
obstacles to the BK principle. In turn, they present trouble to views which hold
that one is rationally obliged to treat one’s beliefs as knowledge states (e.g.,
Huemer 2007) or those which define beliefs in terms of “epistemic possibility of
knowledge” (Stalnaker 2007). In the end, I shall discuss the attractiveness of
upholding some positive introspection principles while rejecting BK and KK,
especially in the context of combatting epistemic and doxastic paradoxes such as
Moore’s, Anti-Expertise and Dogmatism
