"An Introduction to the Theory of Knowledge" guides the reader through the key issues and debates within contemporary epistemology. The book is divided into five parts. Part I covers the concept of Knowledge along with the Gettier problem and Williamson's new 'Knowledge First' epistemology. Part II surveys the sources of Knowledge, the priori, perception and Testimony and in Parts III and IV there is in-depth discussion of justification and scepticism. The final part of the book turns to our alleged knowledge of the past, other minds, morality and God. Throughout, engaging illustrative examples are used, many taken from literature, cinema and TV. Complex issues such as those concerning the Private Language Argument, non-conceptual content, and The New Riddle of Induction are explained in a clear and accessible way. This textbook, ideal for undergraduate or A level students new to this area, is an invaluable guide to contemporary epistemology, ideal for all those new to the subject.
