Here is the abstract of the talk:
Epistemologists have long believed that some kind of luck (epistemic luck) can undermine attributions of propositional knowledge (or knowledge-that). Action theorists have long believed that some kind of luck (agentive luck) can undermine attributions of intentional action. What is the relation between these two forms of luck? In my talk I discuss this question and I argue that epistemic luck can undermine both knowledge-how and intentional action\, suggesting that agentive luck can have an epistemic dimension. I consider the consequences of my conclusions for the debate on the place for knowledge in a theory of intentional action\, the debate about the nature of knowledge-how\, and the role of knowledge representation in folk psychology.
