4. Knowledge

Brian Weatherson

This chapter sets out how the moves from the previous two chapters combine to generate a constraint on any plausible theory of knowledge. A person has knowledge that p only if it makes sense to use p as a starting point into what they are actually inquiring into. A central focus of this chapter is how this constraint meshes with the idea that we can extend our knowledge by logical deduction.
