Does Safety Entail Context-Sensitivity?
Ask Zaar, Balder LU
(2025)
In Erkenntnis
- Abstract
- In this article I discuss whether viewing safety as a necessary condition for knowing entails that the truth-conditions for knowledge is context-sensitive. I argue that, while it is far from clear-cut, there is at least not a strict entailment between the positing of safety as necessary for knowledge and the context-sensitivity of knowledge, and so, that one can remain an invariantist about knowledge and yet view safety as necessary for knowing.
