Inhaltsverzeichnis
"There's no better way to master contemporary epistemology than to think through the many puzzling thought experiments that occupy center stage in contemporary epistemology. Finally there's a book that not only discusses 50 of the very best in one place but also provides an authoritative guide to the surrounding literature. Every student of epistemology--undergraduates to professionals--should own a copy. Highly recommended."
Peter Graham, University of California, Riverside
