Item Description:Includes bibliographical references and index
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
The speech act of assurance -- Austinian semantics -- Austinian semantics and linguistic data -- Paradox, probability, and inductive knowledge -- Idiosyncrasy, disagreement, and the reasonable person standard -- Assurance and radical skepticism
