Description
Knowledge: A Very Short Introduction By Jennifer Nagel This book explores the nature of knowledge, examining how it differs from mere belief and how we can be certain of the world around us. Nagel considers classic questions in epistemology, alongside new puzzles arising from recent discoveries in humanity, language, and the mind. She explains the formation of major historical theories of knowledge and shows how contemporary philosophers have developed new ways of understanding knowledge. Nagel covers topics such as relativism, the problem of scepticism, and the trustworthiness of internet sources, using everyday examples to explain the key issues and debates. By combining facts, analysis, and new ideas, this book provides a clear and concise introduction to the subject of knowledge. The Very Short Introductions series offers a range of pocket-sized books on almost every subject area, making it the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly.
