Summary: Der Band ‚Conceptions of Knowledge‘ versammelt aktuelle Aufsätze zur gegenwärtigen Erkenntnistheorie und Wissensforschung. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei pragmatische und kontextuelle Erweiterungen der analytischen Erkenntnistheorie, aber auch etablierte Fragen nach der Struktur und Natur des Wissensbegriffs oder dem Umgang mit der skeptischen Herausforderung. Der Band fragt im Einzelnen nach dem Verhältnis von ‚Knowing That‘ und ‚Knowing How‘, nach der Relevanz epistemischer Fähigkeiten, der Einbettung von Wissenszuschreibungen in Kontexte und Kontrastklassen sowie nach der Interpretation des skeptischen Zweifels und den vielfältigen Formen des Wissens.Summary: The volume “Conceptions of Knowledge” collects current essays on contemporary epistemology and philosophy of science. The essays are primarily concerned with pragmatic and contextual extensions of analytic epistemology but also deal with traditional questions like the nature of knowledge and skepticism. The topics include the connection between “knowing that” and “knowing how,” the relevance of epistemic abilities, the embedding of knowledge ascriptions in context and contrast classes, the interpretation of skeptical doubt, and the various forms of knowledge.
