Knowledge and Skepticism

Acknowledgments

Acknowledgments Earlier versions of the essays in this volume were presented at the seventh annual Inland Northwest Philosophy Conference (INPC), held between April 30 and May 2, 2004, in Pullman, Washington, and Moscow, Idaho. For their financial and administrative support of the conference, we thank the philosophy departments at Washington State University (David Shier, Chair) and the University of Idaho (Douglas Lind, Chair), the College of Liberal Arts at Washington State University (Erich Lear, Dean), the College of Letters, Arts, and Social Sciences at the University of Idaho ( Joe Zeller, Dean), the Research Offices at both universities, and the administrative managers of both departments, Dee Dee Torgeson and Heather Branstetter. We are also grateful for a grant from the Idaho Humanities Council, a statebased affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, to help fund the Public Forum. All presenters at INPC 2004 were encouraged to submit their work for publication in this volume and, after a process of peer evaluation, only a few were selected. We regret that we had to turn down numerous quality essays, due to space limitations. We thank the following referees: Louise Antony, Ralph Baergen, Elizabeth Brake, Anthony Brueckner, Peter Burkholder , John Carroll, Michael Depaul, Richard Feldman, J. M. Fritzman, John Greco, Michael Huemer, Charlie Huenemann, Philip J. Ivanhoe, Thomas Kelly, Hilary Kornblith, Ann Levey, Timothy McGrew, Patrick Rysiew, Russell Wahl, Lisa Warenski, and Brian Weatherson. We also thank the members of the editorial board. Finally, our special thanks to Delphine Keim Campbell, Rebecca O’Rourke, and Lorinda Knight for their continued understanding and support. ...
