Philosophical Studies An International Journal for Philosophy in the Analytic Tradition Bridges Between Mainstream and Formal Epistemology Edited by Vincent F Hendricks Special issue of Philosophical Studies - An International Journal for Philosophy in the Analytic Tradition FORTHCOMING 2005 / Kluwer Academic Publishers Contemporary epistemologists are roughly divided into two sorts; those relying largely on common-sense considerations and focusing on examples and counterexamples for advancing or rejecting various epistemological theses, and those applying a variety of tools and methods from logic, computability theory or probability theory to the theory of knowledge The two sorts, and the traditions to which they hitherto are taken to belong, have unfortunately proceeded largely in isolation from one another But on closer examination the approaches have much in common, may be bridged for their mutual benefit and the advancement of epistemology in general Here are ways of doing it as the invited papers in this special issue of Philosophical Studies demonstrate the fruitful interaction between informal considerations and various formal apparata in order to support, sharpen, undermine, realize, or contribute in some other pertinent way to fundamental epistemological themes Bridges Between Mainstream and Formal Epistemology offers contributions from: Horacio Arló-Costa (Carnegie Mellon University) Johan van Benthem (University of Amsterdam / Stanford University) Luc Bovens (London School of Economics / University of Colorado at Boulder) Sven Ove Hansson (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) Stephan Hartmann (London School of Economics) Matthias Hild (Darden Graduate School of Business Administration) Robert Stalnaker (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Heinrich Wansing (Technical University of Dresden) Visit our website at www.kluweronline.com/issn/00318116 for up-to-date information & your FREE (Online) sample copy! *fill in the VAT number of your institute/company in the appropriate space on the order form;
