Abstract I offer a detailed discussion of the connections Lani Watson posits in her book The Right to Know between violations person’s epistemic rights on one hand and distinctively forms injustice influentially discussed work Miranda Fricker other. argue that if we specify content relevant (and corresponding duties others) carefully enough, it becomes plausible there is an even tighter relatio...

The interest of epistemic comparative conditionals comes from the fact that they represent genuine ‘comparative epistemic relations’ between propositions, situations, evidences, abilities, interests, etc. This paper argues that various types of epistemic comparative conditionals uniformly represent comparative epistemic relations via the comparison of epistemic positions rather than the compari...

We add epistemic modal operators to the language of here-and-there logic and define epistemic hereand-there models. We then successively define epistemic equilibrium models and autoepistemic equilibrium models. The former are obtained from here-and-there models by the standard minimisation of truth of Pearce’s equilibrium logic; they provide an epistemic extension of that logic. The latter are ...

An account of meta-epistemic defeaters—distinct from traditional (firstorder) epistemic defeaters—is motivated and defended, drawing from case studies involving epistemic error-theory (e.g., Olson 2011, Reasons for belief; cf., Streumer 2012, J Philos 110:1–25) and epistemic relativism (e.g., MacFarlane 2005, Oxford Stud Epistemol 1:197–233; 2011; 2014, Assessment sensitivity: Relative truth an...
