Synthese, 2021 How should we account for the contextual variability of knowledge claims? Many philosophers favour an invariantist account on which such contextual variability is due entirely to pragmatic factors, leaving no interesting context-sensitivity in the ...

The Dizzying Turn of Epistemic Contextualism [PDF]
Metaphilosophy, 2020 AbstractThe debate concerning epistemic contextualism represents a kind of linguistic turn in epistemology, where the focus has shifted from theorising about knowledge to theorising about knowledge attributions. Such a shift may well prove valuable, but only if we are clear on what the relationship is between a semantic analysis of knowledge ...

Epistemic Contextualism and the Knowability Problem [PDF]
Acta Analytica, 2011 The paper critically examines an objection to epistemic contextualism recently developed by Elke Brendel and Peter Baumann, according to which it is impossible for the contextualist to know consistently that his theory is true. I first present an outline of contextualism and its reaction to scepticism.

Epistemic Invariantism and Speech Act Contextualism
The Philosophical Review, 2010 This paper shows how to reconcile epistemic invariantism with the knowledge account of assertion. My basic proposal is that we can comfortably combine invariantism with the knowledge account of assertion by endorsing contextualism about speech acts.

Epistemic contextualism: a normative approach
Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, 2013 I develop and argue for a version of epistemic contextualism - the view that the truth-values of ‘knowledge’ ascriptions depend upon and vary with the context in which they are uttered - that emphasises the roles played by both the practical interests of those in the context and the epistemic practices of the community of which they are part in ...

Against the anti-closure response to the factivity problem for epistemic contextualism
Principia: An International Journal of Epistemology, 2023 It appears that there is an inconsistency in combining epistemic contextualism with a plausible closure principle for knowledge and the view that knowledge is factive.

Epistemic odds of contextuality in cyclic systems [PDF]
The European Physical Journal Special Topics, 2021 Beginning with the Bell theorem, cyclic systems of dichotomous random variables have been the object of many foundational findings in quantum mechanics. Here, we ask the question: if one chooses a cyclic system "at random" (uniformly within the hyperbox of all possible systems with given marginals), what are the odds that it will be contextual? We show

On the Adequacy of Attitude-Ascriptions
Filosofia Unisinos, 2022 Fregeans and Russellians defend different conceptions on the truth-conditions of reports of attitude ascriptions. Very often, they appeal to our intuitions and to pragmatic aspects to support their view.
