2007 Lecture 2: Epistemic possibilities and the knowledge argument John Locke Lectures in Philosophy

- Education
The second lecture will begin with Frank Jackson's knowledge argument. The argument and the responses to it turn on assumptions about the nature of the contents of belief and the objects of knowledge. I will argue that one cannot escape the anti-materialist conclusion of the knowledge argument by adopting a fine-grained conception of content.
