Is Knowledge Safe

Abstract

The subjunctive conditionals do not cover all possible worlds but just the close ones. Fur thermore, a relativization to methods of belief acquisition is necessary-as Nozick's grand mother-example shows: A grandmother sees her grandson is well when he comes to visit; but if he were sick or dead, others would tell her he was well to spare her upset. Yet this does not mean she doesn't know he is well (or at least ambulatory) when she sees him. Clearly, we must restate our conditions to take explicitly account of the ways and methods of arriving at belief' (Nozick 1981, p. 179). (3) and (4) would have to be modified along the following lines:
