The Oxford Handbook of Epistemology contains work by today's leading figures in the field of epistemology. The articles function not only as a survey of key areas, but as original scholarship on a range of vital topics. In the concept-sensitive hands of philosophers, epistemology focuses on the nature, origin, and scope of knowledge.
The articles function not only as a survey of key areas, but as original scholarship on a range of vital topics. In the concept-sensitive hands of philosophers, epistemology focuses on the nature, origin, and scope of knowledge. It examines the defining ingredients, the sources, and the limits of knowledge.
Debates over the analysis of knowledge, the sources of knowledge and the status of skepticism will alone keep the discipline of epistemology active and productive. The book explains the main ideas and problems of contemporary epistemology while avoiding overly technical detail. Abstract.
Quine proposes that we should treat epistemology as a chapter of empirical psychology, that empirical psychology should exhaust the theoretical concerns of epistemologists. Call this proposal eliminative naturalism regarding epistemology.
