Von der hinteren Coverseite

Contemporary Debates in Epistemology is the perfect introduction to contemporary epistemology for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and non-specialists in epistemology. Blending accessibility and originality, this acclaimed volume contains head-to-head chapters offering forceful advocacy of opposing philosophical stances. Throughout the text, readers develop a clear understanding of the current state of epistemology as they engage in comparative analysis of constantly changing and developing epistemological concepts.

A timely introduction to the major topics in contemporary epistemology, this new edition integrates the latest developments in the field. Entirely new essays defend divergent perspectives on topics such as epistemic normativity, belief and credence, internalist epistemology, epistemic instrumentalism, norms of assertion, and more. Two original chapters guide readers on the use of thought experiments in epistemology and offer best practices for students and researchers alike.

With a lively debate format that sharply defines the issues and encourages further discussion, Contemporary Debates in Epistemology, Third Edition, remains an essential resource for advanced undergraduate philosophy majors, graduate students in philosophy, professors who are not specialists in epistemology, and epistemologists who want to keep up to date with contemporary epistemological debates.
