Reseña del editor

With its balance of both classic selections and cutting-edge contemporary writings, this anthology for the beginning student clearly covers all the major historical and leading contemporary approaches to epistemology, or the theory of knowledge. One reviewer says: "...admirably even-handed and fair in its explanations of various views...The chapter introductions are concise and informative...not only are readings selected so as to engage one another in important ways, but the editor serves as a good guide through the scholarly thickets...The presentation of content, both in the choice of readings and in the editor's introductions is superior to other texts I have used," (Bruce Umbaugh, Webster University).
