The article focuses on the knowledge of counterfactuals of social epistemology. It states that its objective is to outline a picture of the average knowledge of counterfactuals and utilize it to bring up a problem for the conventional philosophical duality among a priori and a posteriori knowledge. It notes that the capability to judge counterfactuals registers all the cognitive capabilities to assess sentences.
