What is knowledge? How do you know what you know? Could you be a brain in a tank getting fed electrical signals? How do we know that anyone else exists? Epistemology, the study of knowledge, sets out to answer these and other questions that underpin all philosophical and scientific thought.

Robert M. Martin is Professor of Philosophy (ret.) at Dalhousie University, Canada. He has written several books on philosophy, including The Philosopher's Dictionary.
