Readership: Scholars and students of epistemology and the philosophy of language; linguists
Jason Stanley, Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey
"Needless to say, I find Stanley's book extremely important and powerfully argued. I recommend it highly, not only to those interested in recent debates over the semantics of knowledge attributions, for whom it is absolutely essential, but also to anyone with a healthy interest in what knowledge is - and indeed to anybody who enjoys well-executed, insightful philosophy books" - Keith DeRose, Mind
"Jason Stanleys Knowledge and Practical Interests is a brilliant book, combining insights about knowledge with a careful examination of how recent views in epistemology fit with the best of recent linguistic semantics." - Gilbert Harman, Princeton University
