A novel and recently influential case for the knowledge norm of assertion appeals to conjunctions of evidentially hedged assertions and knowledge ascriptions. This paper challenges this novel case: I introduce additional conjunctions that cast serious doubt on the presumed robust connection between evidentially hedged assertions and knowledge ascriptions. The upshot calls for a reassessment of this new linguistic evidence for the knowledge norm, and it also highlights noteworthy but underappreciated features of evidentially hedged assertions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This work\/event is funded by Portuguese national funds through FCT &#8211; Funda\u00e7\u00e3o para a Ci\u00eancia e a Tecnologia, I.P., within the project UID\/00310\/2020<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Evidentially Hedged Assertions Dario Mortini (LOGOS, University of Barcelona) &nbsp; 25 October 2024, 16:00 (Lisbon Time \u2013 WET) Faculdade de Letras de Lisboa Sala Mattos Rom\u00e3o [C201.J] (Departamento de Filosofia) &nbsp; Abstract:\u00a0Speakers make\u00a0evidentially hedged assertions\u00a0whenever they weaken commitment to what they assert in virtue of disclosing imperfectly reliable sources of evidence in their assertions.
