Epistemology or theory of knowledge has always been one of the most
important -if not the most important -field of philosophy. New
arguments are constantly brought to bear on old views, new variants
are marshalled to revive ancient stands, new concepts and
distinctions increase the sophistication of epistemogical theories.
There are a great many excellent textbooks, monographs as well as
anthologies consisting of articles in epistemology. Similarly,
there are useful philosophical dictionaries which contain a great
number of relatively short entries, and general philosophical
handbooks which also touch epistemological issues. This volume of
27 essays grew out from the interest to see a handbook which is
devoted entirely to the historical roots and systematic development
of theory of knowledge. It is not intended to compete but to
supplement the already existing literature. It aims at giving both
beginners and more advanced students as well as professionals in
epistemology and other areas of philosophy an overview of the
central problems and solutions of epistemology. The essays are
self-contained and stil often rather extensive discussions of the
chosen aspects of knowledge. The contributions presuppose very
little familiarity with previous literature and only a few of them
require the mastery of even elementary logical notation. This, we
hope, makes the volume also accessible to the philosophically
interested wider audience. The contributors were asked to provide
substantial, up-to-date, self-contained and balanced surveys of the
various subareas and more specific topics of epistemology, with
reference to literature.
