Abstract: | There is some consensus that for S to know that p, it cannot be merely a matter of luck that S’s belief that p is true. This consideration has led Duncan Pritchard and others to propose a safety condition on knowledge. In this paper, we argue that the safety condition is not a proper formulation of the intuition that
knowledge excludes luck. We suggest an alternative proposal in the same spirit as safety, and find it lacking as well. |
