In this book I present what seem to me (at the moment) to be right
an swers to some of the main philosophical questions about the
topics men tioned in the title, and I argue for them where I can. I
hope that what I say may be of interest both to those who have
already studied these ques tions a lot and to those who haven't.
There are several important topics in epistemology to which I give
little or no attention here - such as the nature of a proposition,
the major classifications of propositions (neces sary and
contingent, a priori and a posteriori, analytic and synthetic,
general and particular), the nature of understanding a proposition,
the nature of truth, the nature and justification of the various
kinds of in ference (deductive, inductive, and probably others)
-but enough is cover ed, to one degree or another, that the book
might be of use in a course in epistemology. Earlier versions of
some of the material in Chapters II, III, and IV were some of the
material in Ginet (1970). An earlier version of the part of Chapter
VII on memory-connection was a paper that I profited from reading
and discussing in philosophy discussion groups at Cornell Uni
versity, SUNY at Albany, and Syracuse University in 1972-73. I do
not like to admit how long I have been working on this book."
