{"product_id":"epistemology-for-the-rest-of-stephen-stich-9780190865085","title":"Epistemology for the Rest of the World","description":"Since the heyday of ordinary language philosophy, Anglophone epistemologists have devoted a great deal of attention to the English word 'know' and to English sentences used to attribute knowledge. Even today, many epistemologists, including contextualists and subject-sensitive invariantists are concerned with the truth conditions of \"S knows that p,\" or the proposition it expresses. In all of this literature, the method of cases is used, where a situation is described in English, and then philosophers judge whether it is true that S knows that p, or whether saying \"S knows that p\" is false, deviant, etc. in that situation. \u003cbr\u003eHowever, English is just one of over 6000 languages spoken around the world, and is the native language of less than 6% of the world's population. When Western epistemology first emerged, in ancient Greece, English did not even exist. So why should we think that facts about the English word \"know,\" the concept it expresses, or subtle semantic properties of \"S knows that p\" have important implications for epistemology? Are the properties of the English word \"know\" and the English sentence 'S knows that p' shared by their translations in most or all languages? If that turned out to be true, it would be a remarkable fact that cries out for an explanation. But if it turned out to be false, what are the implications for epistemology? Should epistemologists study knowledge attributions in languages other than English with the same diligence they have shown for the study of English knowledge attributions? If not, why not? In what ways do the concepts expressed by 'know' and its counterparts in different languages differ? And what should epistemologists make of all this? \u003cbr\u003eThe papers collected here discuss these questions and related issues, and aim to contribute to this important topic and epistemology in general.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Stich\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190865083\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190865085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/05\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2019","brand":"Stephen Stich","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054626697471,"sku":"9780190865085","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1a60104f-5ea0-4b03-97cb-5fb75e228188.jpg?v=1685031047","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/epistemology-for-the-rest-of-stephen-stich-9780190865085","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
