      What is knowledge? How hard is it for a person to have knowledge? This book confronts contemporary philosophical attempts to answer these questions, by identifying and arguing against two fundamental epistemological presumptions Can you improve your knowledge of a particular fact? Can there be especially bad knowledge of a specific fact? Stephen Hetherington argues the answer can be "yes". The result is a theory that conceives of knowledge in a non-absolutist way, which offers different solutions to many traditional epistemological puzzles, including various kinds of scepticism, the Gettier challenge, and the problem of the criterion. It also offers a reinterpretation of the epistemic roles of fallibility, luck, relevance, and dogmatism. And what can we know about knowledge? The role of intuition in shaping epistemological thought about knowledge is also examined.
