Philosophy Compass, 2011 Abstract Epistemologists often remark that knowledge precludes luck. A true belief based on a guess or hunch is not knowledge because it seems merely fortuitous, too much of an accident, and, well, lucky that one happened to get things right. Of course, true beliefs based on guesses and hunches are not justified.

Evidence, Epistemic Luck, Reliability, and Knowledge. [PDF]
Acta Anal, 2022 In this article, I develop and defend a version of reliabilism - internal reasons reliabilism - that resolves the paradox of epistemic luck, solves the Gettier problem by ruling out veritic luck, is immune to the generality problem, resolves the internalism/externalism controversy, and preserves epistemic closure.

, 2018 In almost any domain of endeavour, successes can be attained through skill, but also by dumb luck. An archer’s wildest shots occasionally hit the target. Against enormous odds, some fair lottery tickets happen to win. The same goes in the case of purely cognitive or intellectual endeavours.

Collective Epistemic Luck [PDF]
Acta Analytica, 2021 AbstractA platitude in epistemology is that an individual’s belief does not qualify as knowledge if it is true by luck.
