Document Details : Title: Information versus Knowledge in Confirmation Theory Author(s): ROWBOTTOM, Darrell P. Journal: Logique et Analyse Volume: 226 Date: 2014 Pages: 137-149 DOI: 10.2143/LEA.226.0.3032652 Abstract : I argue that so-called ‘background knowledge’ in confirmation theory has little, if anything, to do with ‘knowledge’ in the sense of mainstream epistemology. I argue that it is better construed as ‘background information’, which need not be believed in, justified, or true. |
