4.9/5 (21557 ratings)

Description:Luck permeates our lives, and this raises a number of pressing questions: What is luck? When we attribute luck to people, circumstances, or events, what are we attributing? Do we have any obligations to mitigate the harms done to people who are less fortunate? And to what extent is deserving praise or blame affected by good or bad luck? Although acquiring a true belief by an uneducated guess involves a kind of luck that precludes knowledge, does　all　luck undermine knowledge? And how accurate are our luck attributions anyway? The academic literature has seen growing, interdisciplinary interest in luck, and this volume brings together and explains the most important areas of this research.　 It consists of 39 newly commissioned chapters, written by an internationally acclaimed team of philosophers and psychologists, for a readership of students and researchers.　 Its coverage is divided into six sections:I: The History of LuckII: The Nature of LuckIII: Moral LuckIV: Epistemic LuckV: The Psychology of LuckVI: Future ResearchThe chapters in these sections cover a wide range of topics, from the problem of moral luck, to anti-luck epistemology, to the relationship between luck attributions and cognitive biases, to meta-questions regarding the nature of luck itself, to a range of other theoretical and empirical questions currently being investigated by ethicists, epistemologists, and psychologists. By bringing this research together, the　Handbook serves as both a touchstone for understanding the relevant issues and a first port of call for future philosophical and psychological research on luck.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
