Publisher Description
How do you know what you know?
Epistemology is the philosophical study of knowledge. Without knowledge, scientific enquiry is meaningless and we can’t begin to analyse the world around us. What is knowledge? How do you know you are not dreaming? Should we trust our senses? Presuming no prior experience of philosophy, this book covers everything in the topic from scepticism and possible worlds to Kant’s transcendentalism. Clear and readable, Epistemology: A Beginner’s Guide is essential reading for students and aspiring thinkers.

Not for Beginners
This guide is overly complex. The author is, IMO, a poor teacher and does not seem to grasp the simple concepts of: go from the simple to the complex; go from the known to the unknown; examples given first with details matching the examples.
