The Oxford Handbook of Epistemology cover

This comprehensive volume features nineteen original articles by prominent philosophers, exploring key concepts and contemporary issues in epistemology, presented in an accessible manner for advanced students and professionals alike.

The Oxford Handbook of Epistemology features nineteen newly commissioned articles from prominent philosophers, exploring various dimensions of knowledge theory. This collection serves as both a comprehensive survey of the field and a platform for original contributions to ongoing discussions in contemporary epistemology. Each chapter is crafted to address significant themes and issues, reflecting the current landscape of philosophical inquiry.

The chapters in this handbook are not only informative but also accessible, making them suitable for a diverse audience that includes advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professional philosophers. The authors aim to clarify the central ideas and challenges within contemporary epistemology while steering clear of overly technical jargon. This approach ensures that readers can engage with complex concepts without feeling overwhelmed.

In addition to providing an overview of key areas in epistemology, the book invites readers to consider new perspectives and arguments that contribute to the field's evolution. By featuring the work of leading figures in philosophy, The Oxford Handbook of Epistemology stands as a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the intricacies of knowledge, belief, and justification. Whether one is looking to deepen their understanding or explore new debates, this handbook offers a well-rounded foundation for further study in epistemology.

This is an extensive collection of well-chosen papers on a wide range of topics in current mainstream epistemology, all of which are written by international experts and published here for the first time. Most papers do not require any specialist knowledge in epistemology, although there are exceptions to this general rule. As my own teaching confirms, this book is ideal as an introductory text for a wide range of graduate students in epistemology, philosophy of science, and the epistemology of ethics. * Erik J.
