Understanding Knowledge (Unabridged‪)‬

The world's best introduction to epistemology, Understanding Knowledge discusses basic philosophical problems in epistemology, including such questions as:

What is knowledge?
How can we know about the world outside our minds?
How do we know about things that are unobservable?
Are intuitions a legitimate source of knowledge?
What justifies any of our beliefs?


The text clearly and succinctly explains the most important theories and arguments about these things, and it does so a lot less boringly than most books written by professors.

He is the author of a nearly infinite number of articles in epistemology, metaphysics, ethics, and political philosophy, plus eight and a half other amazing and brilliant books that you should immediately buy.
