A wide-ranging study of the central concepts in epistemology -
belief, truth and knowledge. Professor Armstrong offers a
dispositional account of general beliefs and of knowledge of
general propositions. Belief about particular matters of fact are
described as structures in the mind of the believer which represent
or 'map' reality, while general beliefs are dispositions to extend
the 'map' or introduce casual relations between portions of the map
according to general rules. 'Knowledge' denotes the reliability of
such beliefs as representations of reality. Within this framework
Professor Armstrong offers a distinctive account of many of the
main questions in general epistemology - the relations between
beliefs and language, the notions of proposition, concept and idea,
the analysis of truth, the varieties of knowledge, and the way in
which beleifs and knowledge are supported by reasons. The book as a
whole if offered as a contribution to a naturalistic account of
man.
