dc.description.abstractMy thesis seeks to defend the Argument from Ignorance against Dr. Keith DeRose's contextualist critique. I will attempt to defend AI by demonstrating that the warranted assertability maneuver of invariantism provides a sufficient reason to question contextualism. Further, I will attempt to undermine DeRose's Rule of Sensitivity. I will provide background information on the development of DeRose's contextualist solution as well as briefly consider some alternate solutions to the Argument from Ignorance.
