New essays by leading philosophers explore topics in epistemology, offering both contemporary philosophical analysis and historical perspectives.
There are two main questions in epistemology: What is knowledge? And: Do we have any of it? The first question asks after the nature of a concept; the second involves grappling with the skeptic, who believes that no one knows anything. This collection of original essays addresses the themes of knowledge and skepticism, offering both contemporary epistemological analysis and historical perspectives from leading philosophers and rising scholars. Contributors first consider knowledge: the intrinsic nature of knowledge--in particular, aspects of what distinguishes knowledge from true belief; the extrinsic examination of knowledge, focusing on contextualist accounts; and types of knowledge, specifically perceptual, introspective, and rational knowledge. The final chapters offer various perspectives on skepticism. Knowledge and Skepticism provides an eclectic yet coherent set of essays by distinguished scholars and important new voices. The cutting-edge nature of its contributions and its interdisciplinary character make it a valuable resource for a wide audience--for philosophers of language as well as for epistemologists, and for psychologists, decision theorists, historians, and students at both the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.

Store description
The Enigmatic Reader is the unexpected outcome of years of book collecting. After filling up the house to an extreme, (the attic was on the brink of collapse) we decided we had no choice but to share the riches. Luckily about this time the internet became a great place to connect book-buyers with book-sellers. We have really enjoyed the opportunity to connect people with the books they are looking for. Let us know your interests and we will try to find a book to match them. If you find a book on our list that you really want but you can't afford it, let us know - maybe we can work something out. Our descriptions are not too detailed, but we do try to describe the basics and point out any major flaws.…
