The Oxford Handbook of Epistemology

Abstract

Abstract The Oxford Handbook of Epistemology contains work by today's leading figures in the field of epistemology. The articles function not only as a survey of key areas, but as original scholarship on a range of vital topics. In the concept-sensitive hands of philosophers, epistemology focuses on the nature, origin, and scope of knowledge. It examines the defining ingredients, the sources, and the limits of knowledge. Given the central role of epistemology in the history of philosophy as well as in contemporary philosophy, epistemologists will always have work to do. Debates over the analysis of knowledge, the sources of knowledge and the status of skepticism will alone keep the discipline of epistemology active and productive. The book explains the main ideas and problems of contemporary epistemology while avoiding overly technical detail.
