2. 2. Knowledge And Its Limits

   

   This work argues for a “knowledge-first” approach to epistemology: knowledge is a fundamental, factive mental state that cannot be reduced to belief plus justification or analyzed away into traditional accounts, and it should play the central explanatory role in understanding evidence, assertion, and practical reasoning. Developing a modal and pragmatic toolkit, the book uses this perspective to reframe and diagnose classic puzzles—Gettier cases, the lottery paradox, skeptical challenges, and debates over closure—while also arguing that many supposedly secure mental states lack the luminosity often assumed in epistemology. By treating evidence as constituted by what one knows and making knowledge the primitive notion, the author reshapes how we understand justification, rational action, and the limits of inquiry.
