More About This Textbook

Overview

Epistemology, or the theory of knowledge, is concerned with how we know what we do, what justifies us in believing what we do, and what standards of evidence we should use in seeking truths about the world and human experience. This comprehensive book introduces the concepts and theories central for understanding knowledge. This revised edition builds on the topics covered in the widely acclaimed first edition and includes new material on subjects such as virtue epistemology, social epistemology and feminist epistemology. The chapter on moral, scientific and religious knowledge has also been expanded and revised.

    too expensive

    I want this book for my nook, but that is too much money. Lower the price substantially, and I'll buy it.

    Is this a collrge textbook?

    Does that explain the price? Description of book seems very superficial and the "features" so general as to be uninformative. Please consider revising this description for the general reader.
