Abstract

Claims of the form ‘I know P and it might be that notP’ tend to sound odd One natural explanation of this oddity is that the conjuncts are semantically incompatible in its core epistemic use ‘Might P’ is true in a speaker’s mouth only if the speaker does not know that notP In this paper I defend this view against an alternative proposal that has been advocated by Trent Dougherty and Patrick Rysiew and elaborated upon in Jeremy Fantl and Matthew McGrath’s recent Knowledge in an Uncertain World
