A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

Knowledge and Reality Classic and Contemporary Readings is a handy collection of readings in epistemology and metaphysics that is unique in showcasing both historical and contemporary debates. Issues that receive in-depth treatment include the problem of a priori knowledge, skepticism, foundationalism versus coherentism, universals, identity and change, causation, and the relationship between perception and the external world. Covering both historical classics and cutting-edge works, this reader allows students to see how problems have evolved over time and groups some of the most fascinating writings in epistemology and metaphysics.

Special Features of Knowledge and Reality:

• Metaphysics and epistemology in one volume―Two interrelated subject areas usually treated separately by most texts.
• Historical classics and cutting-edge works―selections from over 30 philosophers, past and present.
• In-depth study of issues―A priori knowledge, skepticism, foundationalism versus coherentism, universals, identity and change, causation, and the relationship between perception and the external world.

Revue de presse

"...This is an excellent collection of readings... Knowledge and Reality provides a wide range of readings from several periods in the history of philosophy without short-changing contemporary perspectives on a wide variety of epistemological and metaphysical problems."―Darian C. De Bolt, University of Central Oklahoma

"I love how the book marries the philosophical past and present while preserving the best of both. This is how all anthologies should be put together."―Jamie Phillips, Clarion University
