Epistemologists seek to understand knowledge’s nature and availability. What is knowledge? There are competing theories. Can we really have knowledge? Challenges abound.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this lively book, Stephen Hetherington introduces us to epistemological theorizing. He builds a theory and tests it, refines it, and challenges it again. He explores such topics as evidence, truth and belief, different kinds of knowledge, and knowledge’s value, as well as sceptical views concerning knowledge of the physical world, one’s own mind and memory, and rational limits for observation and reason. This epistemological theorizing is then applied to some of life’s most pressing issues, such as how to live and how to understand ourselves and others.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhat is Epistemology?\u003c\/i\u003e is a practical and student-friendly guide to one of the most dynamic areas of philosophy.
