This book encourages renewed attention by contemporary
epistemologists to an area most of them overlook: ancient
philosophy. Readers are invited to revisit writings by Plato,
Aristotle, Pyrrho, and others, and to ask what new insights might
be gained from those philosophical ancestors. Are there ideas,
questions, or lines of thought that were present in some ancient
philosophy and that have subsequently been overlooked? Are there
contemporary epistemological ideas, questions, or lines of thought
that can be deepened by gazing back upon some ancient philosophy?
The answers are 'yes' and 'yes', according to this book's 13
chapters, written by philosophers seeking to enrich contemporary
epistemology through engaging with ancient epistemology. Key
features: Blends ancient epistemology with contemporary
epistemology, each reciprocally enriching each. Conceptually
sensitive chapters by scholars of ancient epistemology.
Historically sensitive chapters by scholars of contemporary
epistemology. Clearly written chapters, guiding readers at once
through central elements both of ancient and of contemporary
epistemology.
