Great news for one of my current affiliations: Nottingham looks like it’s jumped four places in this year’s Philosophical Gourmet Report (see Brian Leiter’s PGR highlights), to equal ninth place in the UK.

Corine Besson (a recent PhD graduate of Oxford) is the winner of the competition for a paper by a graduate student or recent graduate to be presented at the Arche Basic Knowledge Workshop this November. Her paper is entitled ‘Logical Knowledge and Gettier Cases’, and argues that knowledge of logical rules based on semantic or conceptual understanding of the logical constants is Gettierizable.

Duncan Pritchard has also posted an interesting-looking draft of his paper for the workshop, entitled ‘Knowledge and Value‘.
