Produktbeschreibung
The third edition of this highly acclaimed text is ideal for introductory courses in epistemology. Assuming little or no philosophical knowledge, it guides beginning students through the landmarks in epistemology, covering historically important topics as well as current issues and debates. This edition includes an entirelynew chapter on externalism and epistemic virtues, and extensive revisions to other chapters. The suggestions for further reading, including electronic resources, have also been updated. It engagingly covers mainstream topics such as beliefs and perception, induction and probability, and knowledge of minds, as well as newer topics such as naturalistic epistemology, Bayesian epistemology, externalism, and moral knowledge. At the end of each chapter are reading questions that test students' understanding of the presented information and thinking questions that challenge students and invite them into deeper reflection.

Rezensionen
"Morton's highly readable third edition treats a notoriouslydifficult topic with pizzazz. Colorful illustrations encouragereaders to think deeply about complex issues, not just memorizewhat philosophers have said about them. One could hardly hope for abetter guide through the rough terrain of epistemology." MartinMontminy, University of Ottawa

"This new edition of Adam Morton's well-established introductionto epistemology will be extremely helpful to students and teachers.The book is particularly suited for those coming to the area forthe first time. It is clear without being simplistic, engagingwithout being patronizing, and introductory without being bland.This new edition brings the discussion up to date, while the newchapter on externalism and epistemic virtues explores the issuesvery well. Once again, Morton's guidance will be invaluable tomany." Robert Stern, University of Sheffield
