This volume presents, develops, and defends contextualist solutions to two of the stickiest problems in epistemology: the puzzles of skeptical hypotheses and of lotteries. It is argued that, at least by ordinary standards for knowledge, we do know that skeptical hypotheses are false, and that we've lost the lottery. Why it seems that we don't know that they're false tells us a lot, both about what knowledge is and how knowledge attributions work. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Appearance of Ignorance\u003c\/em\u003e is the companion volume to Keith DeRose's 2009 title \u003cem\u003eThe Case for Contextualism: Knowledge, Skepticism, and Context, Volume 1\u003c\/em\u003e.","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47780352262295,"sku":"9780199564477","price":11468.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199564477.webp?v=1778044658","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-appearance-of-ignorance-knowledge-skepticism-and-context-volume-2-9780199564477","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
