    HistoryEditSee Inverse

    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Pritchard's epistemic luck taxonomy distinguishes veritic luck from reflective luck; virtue reliabilism addresses the latter but structurally underdetermines the former.

    Pritchard's taxonomy assumes luck comes in fundamentally different species, but virtue reliabilism may dissolve this distinction by treating all knowledge-undermining luck uniformly.

    Key Terms

    Knowledge-undermining luck(what virtue reliabilism attempts to address uniformly)
    Types of luck or accident that would prevent something from counting as genuine knowledge, even if it happens to be true.
    Luck (in epistemology)(the central concept being discussed regarding what undermines knowledge)
    In the study of knowledge, luck refers to factors outside your control that might affect whether you actually know something or just got lucky.
    Pritchard(as a key figure in debates about knowledge and certainty)
    Duncan Pritchard is a contemporary British philosopher who specializes in epistemology (the study of knowledge) and has written extensively about skepticism and how we can be sure we know things.
    Virtue reliabilism(presented as an alternative approach to understanding knowledge and luck)
    A theory of knowledge that says you know something when you arrive at it through trustworthy mental abilities or skills, rather than accident or chance.

    dissolve (in philosophy)(describes how a unified solution would handle both puzzles)
    To eliminate or resolve a problem by showing it's based on a misunderstanding or false assumption, rather than by directly answering it.
    epistemology(Contrasted with purely descriptive scientific inquiry)
    A normative enterprise that tells us how we ought to reason from evidence and how we ought to justify our beliefs, as distinct from merely describing how we do reason or justify beliefs
    knowledge(Distinguished from mere true belief, which may be the product of indoctrination and need not exercise deliberative capacities.)
    Justified true belief — true belief that has been arrived at through the exercise of deliberative capacities, including comparison of and deliberation among alternatives.
    taxonomy(as used in cognitive science)
    A system for organizing and classifying things into categories—like how biologists organize living creatures into species and families.
