Luck, Knowledge, and 'Mere' Coincidence.
There are good reasons for pursuing a theory of knowledge by way of understanding the connection between knowledge and luck. Not surprisingly, then, there has been a burgeoning of interest in 'luck theories' of knowledge as well as in theories of luck in general. Unfortunately, 'luck' proves to be a...
