What is knowledge? How does it differ from mere belief? Do you need to be able to justify a claim in order to count as knowing it? How can we know that the outer world is real and not a dream?

Questions like these are ancient ones, and the branch of philosophy dedicated to answering them - epistemology - has been active for thousands of years. In this thought-provoking Very Short Introduction, Jennifer Nagel considers these classic questions alongside new puzzles arising from recent discoveries about humanity, language, and the mind. Nagel explains the formation of major historical theories of knowledge, and shows how contemporary philosophers have developed new ways of understanding knowledge, using ideas from logic, linguistics, and psychology. Covering topics ranging from relativism and the problem of scepticism to the trustworthiness of internet sources, Nagel examines how progress has been made in understanding knowledge, using everyday examples to explain the key issues and debates

Premium quality
Color: Black Linen Texture
This is a premium looking and feeling drawer organizer. No assembly required and the drawer action is very smooth. The quality of the material is nice and thick and doesn’t feel cheap at all. Very sturdy and you can place pretty heavy objects on top without worry; maybe 20lbs or so. Great size for all your little gadgets or accessories and the clean modern looks sleek on your desktop. Just the price feels a bit expensive.
