How can we know? How can we attain justified belief? These
traditional questions in epistemology have inspired philosophers
for centuries. Now, in this exceptional work, Alvin Goldman,
distinguished scholar and leader in the fields of epistemology and
mind, approaches such inquiries as legitimate methods or "pathways"
to knowledge. He examines the notion of private and public
knowledge, arguing for the epistemic legitimacy of private and
introspective methods of gaining knowledge, yet acknowledging the
equal importance of social and public mechanisms in the quest for
truth. Throughout, he addresses this opposition but proposes a
rigorous framework that resolves such tensions, making this
collection of papers one of the most important contributions to the
theory of knowledge in recent years.
