Abstract

What is an assurance? What do we do when we claim to know? Krista Lawlor offers an original account based on the work of J. L. Austin. She addresses challenges to contextualist semantic theories; resolves closure-based skeptical paradoxes; and helps us tread the line between acknowledging our fallibility and skepticism.

Abstract

Long description: Subject of this book is an epistemological consideration concerning the nature of knowledge. But other than the most essays on the subject of knowledge, here I am going to deal with a largely overlooked account to try to find an answer to the question of knowledge. This is the mental state account of knowledge. Or to put it into the main question: is knowledge a mental state? Now, the question is: Why is the epistemic thinking of Cook Wilson, Prichard and Austin afflicted with such ignorance in contemporary epistemic discussions? The answer is: an unreflected Platonian heritage during 2000 years of epistemic thinking -- a notion which is similar to a point Hetherington has called ``epistemic absolutism''. So my main conclusion here is: the JTB thesis (knowledge is some aspect of justified true belief) is insufficient in order to give an account of the nature of knowledge. A consequence from this is: all the epistemic theories which are dealing with the JTB thesis are based on deficient assumptions. Hence their results -- notably the well-known externalism/internalism debate - are insufficient, too. So, there is a need for a new theory of knowledge based on the MS thesis.

Abstract

John L. Austin, der Hauptvertreter der »Ordinary Language Philosophy« und Begründer der Sprechakttheorie, hätte die von ihm eingeführte, dann aber verworfene Unterscheidung zwischen performativen und konstativen Äußerungen nach Meinung bestimmter Kritiker beibehalten sollen. Autorinnen und Autoren wie Jacques Derrida, Shoshana Felman, Judith Butler, Geoffrey Warnock, François Recanati oder Stanley Cavell halten an dem Konzept der Performativität fest. Sie verteidigen Austin gegen seine eigenen Revisionen. Diese Verteidigungen des »anderen Austin« haben zu wesentlichen Vertiefungen seiner Einsichten geführt. Das Buch zeigt: Wie Performative funktionieren, weiß man erst jetzt.
