Sarah Moss

Professor Moss works primarily in epistemology and the philosophy of language, and often on questions at the intersection of these subfields. In her book Probabilistic Knowledge (OUP, April 2018), she argues that partial beliefs can constitute knowledge in just the same way that full beliefs can. Her book has several surprising consequences for traditional theories in the philosophy of mind and language, as well as for social and political questions concerning racial profiling and legal standards of proof.

For an informal introduction to her work, you can listen to the interview of Professor Moss on the Five Questions podcast or read her interview with 3:AM Magazine. For a recent public lecture, see her "Knowing What's at Stake: Epistemology and Criminal Justice Reform."
