The
Oxford Handbook of Epistemology contains nineteen previously unpublished
chapters by today's leading figures in the field. These chapters
function not only as a survey of key areas, but as original scholarship
on a range of vital topics. Written accessibly for advanced
undergraduates, graduate students, and professional philosophers, the
Handbook explains the main ideas and problems of contemporary
epistemology while avoiding overly technical detail. "This is an extensive collection of well-chosen papers on a wide range
of topics in current mainstream epistemology, all of which are written
by international experts and published here for the first time. Most
papers do not require any specialist knowledge in epistemology,
although there are exceptions to this general rule. As my own teaching
confirms, this book is ideal as an introductory text for a wide range
of graduate students in epistemology, philosophy of science, and the
epistemology of ethics." ~
