Home / Projects / Epistemology: Current Themes

 
 

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. We also organise one or two workshops or conferences per year. You can find our up-to-date programme in the Arché Calendar. We meet each Thursday from 2.00pm to 3.30 pm. If you’d like to attend our meetings or be added to the mailing list, please email Matthew Vermaire mav9@st-andrews.ac.uk
