Full Description
Provides up-to-date coverage of essential concepts and the latest research trends in epistemology
A Companion to Epistemology, Third Edition provides a comprehensive and up-to-date exploration of the philosophical study of knowledge and justified belief. This extensively revised edition strengthens the treatment of longstanding and contemporary debates, integrating interdisciplinary discussions that link epistemology with cognitive science, philosophy of mind, philosophy of normativity, and social and political philosophy. More than 50 entirely new survey chapters address recent developments in epistemology, such as the ethics of belief and the epistemology of inquiry, while an extended "Epistemology A-Z" with over 100 new entries provides both in-depth analysis and concise definitions of key concepts, arguments, and historical figures.
This classic volume is a vital resource for advancing understanding of epistemological concepts and their real-world applications. Throughout the text, logically structured entries and cross-referenced topics allow for quick and efficient lookup of all information. An indispensable reference for those engaging with one of philosophy's most vital fields, Companion to Epistemology:
Improves the range of coverage of underrepresented philosophers and traditions, including non-Western approaches, women philosophers, and emerging voices in the field
Captures the evolving state of epistemology while supplying conceptual tools to engage with its complex landscape
Delivers in-depth coverage of applied epistemology, relevant for practical and theoretical applications
Provides critical analysis of new and underexplored areas, such as the epistemology of attention
Supports interdisciplinary research with entries connecting epistemology to ethics, cognitive science, and metaphysics
Edited by a team of leading scholars, Companion to Epistemology, Third Edition is a must-have for undergraduate and graduate students in epistemology, philosophy, ethics, or cognitive science programs, as well as educators and scholars in need of a wide-ranging reference for use in advanced research or teaching.
