Cohen’s son is concerned that the table his father is considering purchasing, which appears red, may in fact be white with red lights shining on it. Cohen responds with the following reasoning: (WARRANT FOR 1) The table looks red.

Complex Zero-Knowledge Proofs of Knowledge Are Easy to Use
2007Since 1985 and their introduction by Goldwasser, Micali and Rackoff, followed in 1988 by Feige, Fiat and Shamir, zero-knowledge proofs of knowledge have become a central tool in modern cryptography. Many articles use them as building blocks to construct more complex protocols, for which security is often hard to prove.

The Knowledge Portal, or the vision of easy access to information
Library Hi Tech, 2009Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to show that the development of the “Knowledge Portal” is an attempt to develop a central access system in terms of a “single point of access” for all electronic information services. This means that all these sources – from the library's catalogue and full‐text in‐house applications to external, licensed sources –

Easy Knowledge, Circularity, and the Puzzle of Reliability Knowledge
Episteme, 2019AbstractAccording to externalist reliabilism and dogmatic foundationalism, it's possible to gain knowledge through a perceptual experience without being in a position to know that the experience is reliable. As a result, both of these views face the problem of making knowledge of perceptual reliability too easy, for they permit deducing perceptual ...

SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF EASY KNOWLEDGE
The Philosophical Quarterly, 2008Stewart Cohen argues that several epistemological theories fall victim to the problem of easy knowledge: they allow us to know far too easily that certain sceptical hypotheses are false and that how things seem is a reliable indicator of how they are. This problem is a result of the theories' interaction with an epistemic closure principle.

A Contextualist Solution to the Problem of Easy Knowledge
Grazer Philosophische Studien, 2005Many philosophers hold some verion of the doctrine of "basic knowledge". According to this doctrine, it's possible for S to know that p, even if S doesn't know the source of her knowledge that p to be reliable or trustworthy. Stewart Cohen has recently argued that this doctrine confronts the problem of easy knowledge.

Later Wittgenstein and the Problem of Easy Knowledge
Philosophical Investigations, 2010AbstractConsider the following epistemological principle: KR: A knowledge source K can yield knowledge for subject S only if S knows K is reliable. Traditional epistemologists face a dilemma: either reject KR and confront what Stewart Cohen calls “the Problem of Easy Knowledge” or embrace KR and deny that unreflective beings can possess knowledge.

The Puzzles of Easy Knowledge and of Higher-Order Evidence
2019Abstract The goal of this chapter is to provide a unified solution to two widely discussed epistemological puzzles: the puzzle of easy knowledge and the puzzle of higher-order evidence. The chapter begins by setting out each of these two puzzles.
