Review
" Margolis (Temple Univ.) has organized this book around topics in three areas: epistemology, metaphysics and values. Believing that the central issue in philosophy is to elaborate a general account of knowledge, Margolis commences, in the first three chapters, with an analysis of knowledge and belief, perception and sensation and doubt and certainty... In addition since knowledge claims are expressible in language, Margolis further examines some key features of language, such as meaning, truth and intelligibility. Margolis undoubtedly has accomplished his aim in this book (a revised edition of his 1973 work Knowledge and Existence) — CHOICE February 2007
