Knowledge, Speaker, and Subject

I discuss how Contextualism attempts to resolve the lottery paradox (not Kyburg's). I consider an objection to Contextualism, due to John Hawthorne and Jason Stanley, that it can not account for how 'knows' functions in propositional attitude reports. I then compare Contextualism with Hawthorne and Stanley's alternative proposal for resolving the paradox. I argue that their proposal falls short of providing a satisfactory resolution.
