What methodological impact does Contextualism have on the philosophy of language? This collection sets out to provide some answers. The authors in this volume question three ultimately connected assumptions of the philosophy of language. The first assumption relates to the predominant status of referential semantics and its power to explain truth-conditional meaning. This assumption has come under attack by the context thesis and a number of papers pursue the question of whether this is justified. The second assumption gives priority to assertive sentences when considering language use. The context thesis changes our understanding of language use altogether; possible implications from this methodological shift are addressed in this volume. According to the third assumption, philosophical analysis amounts to nothing more than conceptual analysis. The context thesis risks undermining this project. Whether conceptual analysis can still be defended as a methodological tool is discussed in this volume.

Der Band ,Conceptions of Knowledge' versammelt aktuelle Aufsätze zur gegenwärtigen Erkenntnistheorie und Wissensforschung. Im Mittelpunkt stehen dabei pragmatische und kontextuelle Erweiterungen der analytischen Erkenntnistheorie, aber auch etablierte Fragen nach der Struktur und Natur des Wissensbegriffs oder dem Umgang mit der skeptischen Herausforderung. Der Band fragt im Einzelnen nach dem Verhältnis von ,Knowing That' und ,Knowing How', nach der Relevanz epistemischer Fähigkeiten, der Einbettung von Wissenszuschreibungen in Kontexte und Kontrastklassen sowie nach der Interpretation des skeptischen Zweifels und den vielfältigen Formen des Wissens. The volume "Conceptions of Knowledge" collects current essays on contemporary epistemology and philosophy of science. The essays are primarily concerned with pragmatic and contextual extensions of analytic epistemology but also deal with traditional questions like the nature of knowledge and skepticism. The topics include the connection between "knowing that" and "knowing how," the relevance of epistemic abilities, the embedding of knowledge ascriptions in context and contrast classes, the interpretation of skeptical doubt, and the various forms of knowledge.
