尤物视频 Workshop on Luck and Achievements
Knowledge is a cognitive achievement that precludes luck: if you know that p, then you believe truly that p, and it is no lucky accident that you believe truly that p. In this regard, knowledge is not unique. Having a doxastically justified belief is another cognitive achievement that precludes luck: if you have a doxastically justified belief, then you believe what is propositionally justified for you to believe, and it is no lucky accident that you so believe. And performing a morally worthy action is yet another luck-excluding achievement: if your action has moral worth, then you do the right thing, and it is no lucky accident that you do the right thing.
While achievements generally preclude luck, not every kind of luck is achievement undermining. Duncan Pritchard has made this clear in the case of knowledge. You happen to overhear a student inform another that they鈥檝e secured a copy of the final exam鈥檚 answer key. You now believe that the integrity of the final exam has been compromised. You are lucky to have a true belief about the integrity of the final exam: you now know that you need to draft another version. Still, this kind of luck鈥攊.e., luck in the evidence that one possesses鈥攄oes not undermine the fact that you know that the final exam has been compromised.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together scholars to discuss central and related issues on luck and on achievements (cognitive, normative, or otherwise) and to present their work in a friendly environment.
