Epistemology: A Beginner's Guide (Beginner's Guides)

If you want to get into epistemology, this is a very accessible introduction. For me, it was a page turner and thought provoker. As someone who works with logic; I enjoyed it. This is a great follow on to the classical first order Aristotelian logic you learned in your undergrad work. You may remember that if A -> B, and B -> C then A ->C (i.e. Hypothetical Syllogism), but when you think A is true and you're ready to say something about C, wait... is A really true? How would you know for sure or is it just a belief? Interesting stuff. Recommended (Feed your head)

Although the book is part of a beginner's guide series, I found it quite detailed with well chosen 'case studies.' I am no philosophy major; yet, I have some exposure to Epistemology concepts. I found the book accessible and more than covered by needs. I did not rate it 5 stars only because I could not compare this to other works on the subject.

Given as a gift

I opted for amused edition, which arrived in excellent condition. The book itself is absolute tripe, though. Not recommended. Tedious and uninstructive.

Excellent

Don't try to read philosophers before you read a general guide, and Espistomology is where you must start. And this is a terrific book about it. Wish I'd read it before trying to understand Kant and Hume!

It is a good introduction

Perfect shape

Thorough and accessible

It is useful to have knowledge associated with different philosophers, especially in this topic where there are lots of theories and -isms.
