From Plato to Quine, this volume provides a concise collection of
the essential, classic readings in theory of knowledge.
Epistemology, or the theory of knowledge, is one of the oldest
and most central branches of philosophy. Do we know what we think
we know? What are the sources of knowledge? These are among the
perennial questions of philosophy. This volume contains twenty of
the most important historical contributions - from the earliest
times to Wittgenstein, from China to the USA - to this area of
philosophy. Several of the texts address the problem of skepticism,
whose challenge to the very possibility of knowledge has been the
main inspiration to reflections on knowledge.
A substantial introduction by the editor, together with his
preamble to each text, helps make this volume an invaluable one for
students taking historically informed courses on the theory of
knowledge.
