Knowledge and Understanding in Analytic Philosophy

[https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/UAIcCROND2ur8YJGDi9VHdJ?domain=hpsleeds.files.wordpress.com]

Speaker: Prof. Helen Beebee, School of Philosophy, Religion and History of Science, University of Leeds

Grant that pervasive and persistent peer disagreement undermines justification. If so, then — individually and collectively — we have very little philosophical knowledge, and the prospects for any radical turnaround in our epistemic fortunes don’t look good. And yet we have made a fair bit of progress over the last two and a half thousand years. So, what might our goal be, if we have indeed been making good progress and therefore should not think that our goal is knowledge? I claim that it’s understanding — but of a radically non-factive kind.

I’ve been a Professor of the Philosophy of Science at the University of Leeds since January; before that I was Samuel Hall Professor of Philosophy at the University of Manchester. I mostly work in metaphysics and the philosophy of science, but have recently completed a major project on David Lewis, including co-editing two hefty volumes of his correspondence.
