Knowledge : readings in contemporary epistemology

Epistemology, or the theory of knowledge, is concerned with how we know what we do and what justifies us in believing what we do. In this anthology, Sven Bernecker and Fred Dretske have collected the most important and influential writings, organized into fifteen subject areas that are key to a broad understanding of contemporary theory of knowledge. A readable introduction to each subject area outlines the problems discussed in the essays that follow. A brief synopsis to each reading clarifies the aims of the author so readers can more effectively focus on analysing the essay.
