What consequences does the fact that we are social animals have for a theory of knowledge? Some philosophers have claimed that social factors can determine whether evidence one does not possess undermines one's knowledge. Though I agree that knowledge has a social component, I will claim that social factors determine whether evidence one does possess undermines one's knowledge. In the end, I will maintain that this phenomenon reveals that attributions of knowledge are context-sensitive. Once we see this, we will obtain a better perspective from which to view skeptical arguments and a means to resist their conclusions. (my boldtype)
