About When Is True Belief Knowledge? (Princeton Monographs in Philosophy, 38)

A woman glances at a broken clock and comes to believe it is a quarter past seven. Yet, despite the broken clock, it really does happen to be a quarter past seven. Her belief is true, but it isn’t knowledge. This is a classic illustration of a central problem in epistemology: determining what knowledge requires in addition to true belief.In this provocative book, Richard Foley finds a new solution to the problem in the observation that whenever someone has a true belief but not knowledge, there is some significant aspect of the situation about which she lacks true beliefs–something important that she doesn’t quite and “get. and ” This may seem a modest point but, as Foley shows, it has the potential to reorient the theory of knowledge. Whether a true belief counts as knowledge depends on the importance of the information one does or doesn’t have. This means that questions of knowledge cannot be separated from questions about human concerns and values. It also means that, contrary to what is often thought, there is no privileged way of coming to know. Knowledge is a mutt. Proper pedigree is not required. What matters is that one doesn’t lack important nearby information.Challenging some of the central assumptions of contemporary epistemology, this is an original and important account of knowledge.
