"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.
