Summary

This volume is intended as an accessible introduction to contemporary epistemology - the theory of knowledge. It introduces traditional topics in epistemology within the context of contemporary debates about the definition, sources, and limits of human knowledge. Including relevant examples, it explains the field whilst avoiding technical detail. It relates epistemology to work in cognitive science and defends a plausible version of explationism regarding epistemological method.
