Description
Knowledge by Ian Evans and Nicholas D. Smith is a comprehensive introduction to the theory of knowledge, exploring recent debates that shape contemporary philosophy. The authors guide readers through standard theories while also highlighting current trends in the field. Each chapter concludes with a "Current Trends" section, pointing readers to key literature dominating philosophical discussion. Topics include skepticism, justification, and epistemic evaluation, as well as novel approaches to traditional topics. Evans and Smith's work offers a unique perspective on knowledge, one that takes seriously the idea that knowledge is not exclusive to humans. This book provides a lively and accessible exploration of knowledge, ideal for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as scholars looking to engage with current debates in philosophy.
