As far as I can tell, most of them are, in one form or another, epistemic distinctions--for example, we can be absolutely certain about analytic truths, whereas even the best-established ... article "In Defense Of A Dogma"). Some of these epistemic formulations of the distinction are such that I think even the hard-core Quinean has ...

Syllabus Description: We will continue our discussion of knowledge in limited formats, addressing topics such as signaling and hate-drafting. Particularly, we will formalize the notions of knowledge into epistemic logic. In a system of knowledge, various players will know different things, perhaps leading to an infinite regress of knowing what another player knows. We will introduce basic modal ...

Good news! My theory of evidence survives what might be the coolest destructive argument in epistemology. See here. Warning: be prepared to kiss your favorite theory of knowledge and evidence goodbye. (I'm not bragging, by the way, my view gets off on a mere technicality. If interested, the view is defended here.) This should cheer you up.

... they deny, of course) and are found out, then people will be less inclined to trust what they say about the evidence, regardless of their motives. That would seem to be that. Leaving the realm of epistemic speculation, what many climate scientists do actually say is that the Climategate correspondents were true to their justified conviction about the larger picture, and did not want to confuse ...

Both of these two people have an epistemic philosophy (epistemic simply meaning "related to knowing"- and they have this even if they haven't studied "philosophy". And philosophy is something that can be ...

... . Law is paradoxically dependent upon other disciplines for its access to the domains that it regulates. The greater its epistemic dependency, however, the slighter its political acknowledgment of that subordination. Which allows a positive thesis: the epistemic drift of law can carry the discipline to a frank acknowledgment of the value of indiscipline both to novelty and intellection.

This definitional strategy does not (cannot?) take ... of booze tracks that in the U.S.—were in error.
