While he is prepared to grant the contextualist his/her semantic thesis, Ernest Sosa (2000) likewise takes it to have limited relevance to epistemology generally. For, just because it is restricted to certain metalinguistic claims, EC has only limited significance for skepticism: from the fact that, in non-skeptical contexts, we can use ‘S knows that p’ to express propositions which are true, nothing follows about whether we know anything—a question which we can and do wonder about in philosophical contexts. The proponent of EC might deny that whether an utterance of ‘S knows that p’ expresses a truth admits of any acontextual answer. But Sosa’s objection does not imply that those utterances have a truth value outside of any context. The objection specifies one or more contexts—namely, the context(s) of philosophical discourse about “knowledge”.
