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.

确认论中的信息与知识

我认为，确认论中所谓的“背景知识”与主流认识论意义上的“知识”几乎没有关系。我认为它最好被理解为“背景信息”，不需要相信、证明或真实。

期刊介绍： Logique et Analyse is the continuation of Bulletin Intérieur, which was published from 1954 on by the Belgian National Centre for Logical Investigation, and intended originally only as an internal publication of results for its members and collaborators. Since the start of the new series, in 1958, however, the journal has been open to external submissions (and subscriptions). Logique et Analyse itself subscribes to no particular logical or philosophical doctrine, and so is open to articles from all points of view, provided only that they concern the designated subject matter of the journal.
