Timothy Kearl, Christopher Willard-Kyle
The prize is awarded by the Rutgers Epistemology Conference.
Dr. Kearl and Dr. Willard-Kyle received the prize for his or her paper, “Epistemic Cans”, which they may ship on the upcoming Rutgers Epistemology Conference and which is forthcoming in Philosophy and Phenomenological Research. Right here’s the summary:
We argue that S is able to know that p iff S can know that p. Thus, what makes position-to-know-ascriptions true is only a particular case of what makes ability-ascriptions true: compossibility. The novelty of our compossibility concept of epistemic modality lies in its subsuming epistemic modality beneath agentive modality, the modality characterizing what brokers can do.
The Young Epistemologist Prize contains $1000 and the protection of bills related to attending the Rutgers convention. To be eligible to compete for it, an individual should have a Ph.D. obtained by the point of the submission of the paper however not sooner than six years previous to the date of the convention.
You possibly can be taught extra about Dr. Kearl’s work here and about Dr. Willard-Kyle’s work here.
That is the fourth Younger Epistemology Prize to go to the Cogito: Epistemology Research Centre on the College of Glasgow.
