Description Epistemology is the philosophical study of knowledge.
About the Author Stephen Hetherington is Professor of Philosophy at the University of New South Wales.
It will be the go-to introductory epistemology text.
What is Epistemology? is a practical and student-friendly guide to one of the most dynamic areas of philosophy.
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.
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.
He builds a theory and tests it, refines it, and challenges it again.
In this lively book, Stephen Hetherington introduces us to epistemological theorizing.
Can we really have knowledge? Challenges abound.
What is knowledge? There are competing theories.
Epistemologists seek to understand knowledge\'s nature and availability.
