Description

Theory of Knowledge by Keith Lehrer offers a comprehensive exploration of the major accounts of knowing. The second edition builds upon traditional definitions and introduces contemporary perspectives, examining various theories such as Platinga, externalism, internalism, coherence, contextualism, reliabilist, and causal approaches. Lehrer's new coherence theory of undefeated justification provides a framework for understanding how internal and external factors interact to yield knowledge. The book also features Lehrer's concept of a justification game, which adds a unique layer of analysis to the discussion. With its clear structure, accessible writing, and engaging mix of traditional material and contemporary ideas, Theory of Knowledge is an ideal resource for those seeking a thorough understanding of epistemology.
