Typical examples of the difference between correspondence and epistemic have to do with people being right on accident. For example:
"I don't carry any cash," Bob lies to the mugger. Unbeknownst to Bob, a pickpocket has stolen his wallet, and so he is in fact not carrying any cash.
Is Bob's statement true? Is it a justified true belief?
Correspondence would say that Bob did tell the truth, but epistemic would say that Bob's statement, though true, was unjustified.

The philosophers call these Gettier problems.
Is Bob's statement true?
This particular story introduces what seems like it should be an extraneous detail: Bob, in saying he doesn't carry cash, is intending to deceive. But our everyday concept of truth is related somehow to honesty; the truth is what a well-informed and honest person would say. Bob here is being dishonest (he wants the mugger to believe something Bob thinks is false) a...
Despite being (IMO) a philosophy blog, many Less Wrongers tend to disparage mainstream philosophy and emphasize the divergence between our beliefs and theirs. But, how different are we really? My intention with this post is to quantify this difference.
The questions I will post as comments to this article are from the 2009 PhilPapers Survey. If you answer "other" on any of the questions, then please reply to that comment in order to elaborate your answer. Later, I'll post another article comparing the answers I obtain from Less Wrongers with those given by the professional philosophers. This should give us some indication about the differences in belief between Less Wrong and mainstream philosophy.
