Epistemic principles can and must satisfy their own strictures. Knowledge is an all-or-nothing affair. Gettierized individuals fail to know. Skepticism is well-founded. Hetherington demurs, arguing that if epistemology abandons these assumptions, knowledge is achievable, gradable, realized in practice, consonant with epistemic vulnerability. The result is a radical, powerful reconception of epistemology. * Catherine Z. Elgin, Professor of the Philosophy of Education, Harvard University, USA * This is a truly wonderful collection of challenging essays. They really bring to the fore the central, Fallibilist core of Hetherington’s unique epistemology. An attitude which, in a field whose contemporary climate is still regulated by fashionistas and cliquey citation practices, continues to be a breath of fresh air. * Anthony Booth, Professor of Ethics and Epistemology, University of Sussex, UK *
