Epistemic Closure and Transmission

The focus of this workshop is on epistemic closure and transmission. These topics involve questions such as whether knowledge is closed under known entailment and whether evidence for a proposition is necessarily evidence for anything that proposition entails. The workshop will take place across two days and will feature several guest speakers who have published widely on these topics.
