Steup (philosophy, St. Cloud State University) and Sosa (natural theology, philosophy, Brown University) collect 22 essays on 11 of the most hotly debated questions in the fields of epistemology. Academics in philosophy from around the country face on off on the opposite sides of fundamental problems in current theories of knowledge. Arguments are grouped in three sections on the core issues of skepticism, the foundations of knowledge, and justification. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Eleven pairs of newly commissioned essays face off on opposite sides of fundamental problems in current theories of knowledge.
  • Brings together fresh debates on eleven of the most controversial issues in epistemology.
  • Questions addressed include: Is knowledge contextual? Can skepticism be refuted? Can beliefs be justified through coherence alone? Is justified belief responsible belief?
  • Lively debate format sharply defines the issues, and paves the way for further discussion.
  • Will serve as an accessible introduction to the major topics in contemporary epistemology, whilst also capturing the imagination of professional philosophers.

    • Recenzijas

    "[ The] point/counterpoint format, sometimes with responses from the disputants, pits authors in a dialogue, thereby making for enjoyable reading. Highly recommended." Choice "This book is packed with cutting-edge epistemology by excellent contributors to the field. It is both comprehensive and admirably brief." Robert Audi, University of Notre Dame "What are the burning problems of today's epistemology? What are the most promising solutions to these problems? They are all in this timely volume, explained and debated by leading authorities." Alvin Goldman, Rutgers University "With leading and emerging figures in epistemology debating some of its most fundamental questions, this volume will be required reading for anyone interested in where the theory of knowledge has been and where it is going. A superb collection." Paul Boghossian, New York University
