Abstract

In a recent article in this journal, Wolfgang Freitag argues that Gettier-style cases that are based on the notion of "distant" epistemic luck cannot be ruled out as cases of knowledge by modal conditions such as safety or sensitivity. I argue that (1) safety and sensitivity can be easily fixed and that (2) Freitag provides no convincing reason for the existence of "distant" epistemic luck.
