Abstract

Discusses the controversy over how exactly we should conceive of the context-sensitivity of knowledge attributions. Incontrovertible claim that knowledge attributions are somehow 'context-sensitive'; Invariance of the truth conditions of knowledge-attributing sentences depending on context; Considerable advantage of contextualism over invariantism.
