Synopsis

Epistemology has become one of the fastest moving disciplines in philosophy, as different answers are developed to classical problems, and logic, probability theory and computability are used for applications outside traditional epistemology. In this volume, up-and-coming scholars explore current trends and discuss prospects for future development.

Review:

“A valuable look at the work of up and coming epistemologists ... .This book should be read by anyone interested in seeing where epistemology is currently focused and where it is heading.“ (Stewart Cohen, Arizona State University)

“These are the most exciting times in epistemology in the last 40 years. This group of essays indicates why: there are new developments in formal epistemology, new connections between formal and traditional work, new developments on epistemic paradoxes, and in value-driven approaches. Add to these further discussions of standard topics such as contextualism, coherentism, epistemic luck, externalism, deontologism, and naturalism, to name a few, and the result is a gem of a volume that is a "must read" for every epistemologist and any philosopher wishing to keep abreast of the current issues in epistemology.”  (Jonathan Kvanvig, Baylor University)

“An excellent collection of new essays ... .The set of authors comprises a nice mix of new voices and experienced contributors who have already left their mark in the field.” (Matthias Steup, St Cloud University)
