Summary
This collection of readings deftly blends the foremost classical sources with important contemporary philosophical thinkers to present a far-reaching examination of the theory of knowledge. Formative voices of epistemology from Ancient Greek Philosphy, Medieval Philosophy, Classical Modern Philosophy, Pragmatism, and Contemporary Analytic Philosophy are amply represented. Organized chronologically, Human Knowledge presents an impressive collection of non-technical essays from Plato, Aristotle, Sextus Empiricus, Augustine, Aquinas, Ockham, Descartes, Leibniz, Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Kant, James, Dewey, Lewis, Rorry, Quine, Chisolm, Putnam, Gettier, and many others. Each chapter is preceded by an introductory overview and helpful, up-to-date bibliographies provide students of all levels with guides to supplemental readings.
