This lucid and engaging introduction grapples with these central questions
in the theory of knowledge, offering a clear, non-partisan view of the main
themes of epistemology, including recent developments such as virtue
epistemology and contextualism.

Duncan Pritchard discusses both traditional issues and contemporary ideas
in 13 easily digestible sections which include:

* The value of knowledge
* The structure of knowledge
* Virtues and faculties
* Perception
* Testimony and memory
* Induction
* Scepticism


What is This Thing Called Knowledge? contains many helpful student-friendly
features. Each chapter concludes with a useful summary of the main ideas
discussed, study questions, annotated further reading, and a guide to web
resources. Text boxes provide bite-sized summaries of key concepts and major
philosophers, and clear and interesting examples are used throughout, whilst
a helpful glossary explains important terms.
