A New Solution to the Skeptical Puzzle: An Epistemic Account of Limited Polysemy

In my Thesis I investigate many of the standard accounts of knowledge. I argue that epistemic fallibilism, infallibilism, and contextualism fail as viable accounts. I defend an account of knowledge according to which \u27knows\u27 is ambiguous. More specifically, I promote an account of knowledge according to which \u27knows\u27 is polysemous. This position was advanced by Rene Van Woudenberg. At the end of my thesis, I propose an adjustment to Van Woudenberg\u27s view that will protect his account from problematic implications
