Epistemology: The Key Thinkers
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-08533-6 (ISBN)
Beginning with Plato, Aristotle, ancient sceptics, and the medievals, before moving to Descartes, the British empiricists, Kant, American pragmatism, and twentieth-century thinkers such as Ludwig Wittgenstein, W. V. O. Quine, Alvin Goldman, and beyond, each chapter guides you through the ideas, contribution, and legacy of a leading philosopher or movement. This second edition includes:
· A new chapter covering medieval epistemology
· Extended guides to further reading and future directions for epistemology
The final chapter looks to the future, highlighting some of the very latest debates that energise philosophical writing today about knowledge and how we know what we know.
Stephen Hetherington is Professor of Philosophy at the University of New South Wales, in Sydney, Australia. He is also the Editor-in-Chief of the Australasian Journal of Philosophy.
