Biography
Rodrigo Borges is a Lecturer at the University of Florida. He works mainly in epistemology. He is currently working on a monograph about the Gettier Problem and knowledge.
Ian Schnee is an Associate Teaching Professor at the University of Washington. He is the author of The Logic Course Adventure, an interactive textbook for formal logic courses. Besides epistemology, his research interests include philosophy of film, philosophy of video games, and pedagogy.
"This book is unique in that it takes a highly focused set of questions that revolve around knowledge from non-knowledge and advances discussion of these questions from the perspectives of hinge-epistemology, anti-luck approaches to knowledge involving both safety and sensitivity constraints, virtue-theoretic epistemology, and knowledge-first approaches that emphasize the roles knowledge plays in licensing both theoretical and practical inferences."
