Knowledge ascriptions, such as 'Sam knows that Obama is president of the United        States', play a central role in our cognitive and social lives. For example, they        are closely related to epistemic assessments of action. As a result, knowledge        ascriptions are a central topic of research in both philosophy and science. In this        collection of new essays on knowledge ascriptions, world class philosophers offer        novel approaches to this long standing topic.The contributions exemplify three        recent approaches to knowledge ascriptions. First, a linguistic turn according to        which linguistic phenomena and theory are an important resource for providing an        adequate account of knowledge ascriptions. Second, a cognitive turn according to        which empirical theories from, for example, cognitive psychology as well as        experimental philosophy should be invoked in theorizing about knowledge ascriptions.          Third, a social turn according towhich the social functions of knowledge ascriptions        to both individuals and groups are central to understanding knowledge ascriptions.          In addition, since knowledge ascriptions have figured very prominently in        discussions concerning philosophical methodology, many of the contributions address        or exemplify variousmethodological approaches.The editors, Jessica Brown and Mikkel        Gerken, provide a substantive introduction that gives an overview of the various        approaches to this complex debate, their interconnections, and the wide-ranging        methodological issues that they raise.
