"This book is a tour de force." - Kevin Meeker, Mind
"Epistemic Luck is a rich, engaging, and ground-breaking work. It is a fine example of the kind of original and exciting work being done at the frontier of epistemology today." - Jason Baehr, Metaphilosophy
"A piece of stellar epistemology." - Jon Kvanvig, Philosophy and Phenomenological Research
"Epistemologists commonly say that knowledge excludes luck. But few of us pause to explain what this common saying amounts to, or what truth it contains. Pritchard has paused to do just that, and the result is this fascinating and :qjoyable book. In attempting to explain the sense in which knowledge excludes luck, Pritchard both offers a clear and comprehensive survey of much contemporary literature in the theory of knowledge, and also advances the dialectic considerably. If you work n the theory of knowledge, you cannot afford to ignore this book." - Ram Neta, University of North Carloina, Chapel Hill
"Duncan Pritchard's Epistemic Luck is a wide-ranging, nice written and generally masterful treatment of the concept of epistemic luck and its relevance to contemporary epistemology... [It] is a rich, engaging and groundbreaking work." - Jason Baehr, The Author Journal Compilation
