Epistemology has traditionally been motivated by a desire to
respond to skeptical challenges. The skeptic presents an argument
for the view that knowledge is impossible, and the theorist of
knowledge is called upon to explain why we should think, contrary
to the skeptic, that it is genuinely possible to gain knowledge.
Traditional theories of knowledge offer responses to the skeptic
which fail to draw on the resources of the sciences. This is no
simple oversight; there are principled reasons why such resources
are thought to be unavailable to the theorist of knowledge. This
book takes a different approach. After arguing that appeals to
science are not illegitimate in responding to skepticism, this book
shows how the sciences offer an illuminating perspective on
traditional questions about the nature and possibility of
knowledge. This book serves as an introduction to a scientifically
informed approach to the theory of knowledge. This book is a vital
resource for students and scholars interested in epistemology and
its connections to recent development in cognitive science.
