The sensitivity principle is a compelling idea in epistemology and
is typically characterized as a necessary condition for knowledge.
This collection of thirteen new essays constitutes a
state-of-the-art discussion of this important principle. Some of
the essays build on and strengthen sensitivity-based accounts of
knowledge and offer novel defences of those accounts. Others
present original objections to sensitivity-based accounts
(objections that must be taken seriously even by those who defend
enhanced versions of sensitivity) and offer comprehensive analysis
and discussion of sensitivity's virtues and problems. The resulting
collection will stimulate new debate about the sensitivity
principle and will be of great interest and value to scholars and
advanced students of epistemology.
