Synopsis "reading epistemology: selected texts with interactive commentary"

designed for readers who have had little or no exposure to contemporary theory of knowledge, reading epistemology brings together twelve important and influential writings on the subject. two contrasting views are presented on each of six core topics: the definition of knowledge, the relation between justification and truth, epistemic duties and virtues, testimonial knowledge, foundationalism versus coherentism, and scepticism and contextualism. among the authors are nozick, ernest sosa, alvin goldman, bonjour, dretske, and burge. each chapter contains an introduction to the topic, introductions to the authors, extensive commentaries on the texts, questions for debate and an annotated bibliography. the introductions and commentaries outline the philosophical train of thought, provide background information, and locate particular positions and arguments within the field. the interactive nature of the commentaries encourages readers to engage with the texts and to think for themselves.
