The ECT Group has a broad range of interests in epistemology and cognate fields. As well as an interest in the traditional epistemological questions concerning knowledge, justification, internalism, externalism, and scepticism, members of the group have research interests concerning belief, assertion, norms, reasons, virtue, vice, epistemic injustice, cognitive bias, formal models of knowledge and belief, know-how, trust, entitlement, perception, illusion, self-knowledge, the methodology of epistemology, intuitions, the apriori, dogmatism, contextualism, relativism and epistemic modals.
ECT Seminar: This is a lively and friendly weekly seminar at which members of the group pilot their research, discuss recent work in epistemology, and host talks by visiting speakers. During ‘discussion’ meetings, we discuss a paper selected by a member. Please note that these meetings aren’t talks. You can find our up-to-date programme in the Arché Calendar. We meet each Thursday from 1 to 2.30 pm. If you’d like to attend our meetings, please email Patrick J. Winther-Larsen at pjwl [at] st-andrews [dot] ac [dot] uk.
