Contemporary Debates in Epistemology

Contemporary Debates in Epistemology features original essays on some of the most hotly debated issues in the field.

Is knowledge contextual? Can skepticism be refuted? Can beliefs be justified through coherence alone? Is justified belief responsible belief? Eleven pairs of newly commissioned essays face off on opposite sides of fundamental problems in current theories of knowledge.

This distinctive format offers readers a unique opportunity to observe philosophers engaging in head-to-head debate.

The essays are centered on three core areas of epistemology: skepticism, the foundations of knowledge, and justification.
