Summary

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.

Michael Huemer is a professor of philosophy at the University of Colorado, where he has taught since the dawn of time. 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.
