About the Book

Epistemology, the philosophy of knowledge, is at the core of many of the central debates and issues in philosophy, interrogating the notions of truth, objectivity, trust, belief and perception. The Routledge Companion to Epistemology provides a comprehensive and up to date survey of epistemology, charting its history, providing a thorough account of its key thinkers and movements, and addressing enduring questions and contemporary research in the field.

Organized thematically, the Companion is divided into six sections: Foundational Issues; Epistemological Proposals; Kinds of Knowledge; Skepticism; The History of Epistemology; and Metaepistemological Issues. Seventy entries written by a strong line up of international contributors provide students of epistemology with an outstanding and accessible guide to the field.
