Philosophy; History of Western philosophy; Philosophy: epistemology & theory of knowledge

To know epistemology’s history is to know better what contemporary epistemology could be and perhaps should be – and what it need not be and perhaps ought not to be.

Knowledge in Contemporary Philosophy introduces many of the more developed ideas, issues, and theories from this past century of epistemological reflection. By doing so, it captures the current concerns of one of Western philosophy’s greatest challenges: understanding the nature of knowledge.

Covering recent discussions about scientific, social, and self-knowledge, and more, along with attempts to understand knowledge naturalistically, contextually, and modally, this volume follows conceptions of knowledge that have been proposed, defended, replaced, and proposed anew by contemporary philosophers. Knowledge in Contemporary Philosophy reveals much of what is currently vital and now evolving within epistemology.
