Timothy Williamson's��Knowledge and its Limits��has a good claim to being the most influential monograph in contemporary epistemology.��Knowledge and its Limits��is a major source of current debates about the nature and norms of assertion and belief, the difficulties attending the analysis of knowledge as justified true belief, and the anti-luminosity of knowledge, and has inspired many to pursue a knowledge-centered approach to such issues as confirmation, evidence, and justification. Williamson's "knowledge-first" program has been widely debated and even its staunchest opponents admit that it is a force to be reckoned with in the contemporary epistemological landscape.

The twentieth anniversary of the publication of��Knowledge and its Limits��seems a perfect occasion to assess the book’s contribution and the research program it generated with a degree of hindsight and to evaluate the implications of the knowledge-first approach in areas beyond epistemology such as the philosophy of mind and philosophy of action. This is the rationale behind the international conference��Knowledge and its Limits at 20��(Geneva, 5-6 November 2020). We hope that it will provide a comprehensive assessment of the knowledge-first approach, as well as opening up new perspectives on its implications both inside and outside epistemology.
