Reviews
"The book is written in a delightfully clear and incisive style. It is accessible without being superficial. The coverage of topics is comprehensive, well organised and well balanced ... I would certainly want to use this book as a main text in introductory epistemology courses." Professor E J Lowe, University of Durham

"Philosophical intelligence, historical erudition, interpretational sensitivity, and pedagogical insight all come together in this excellent, historically informed introduction to the central issues of epistemology. Altogether a great success!" Ernest Sosa, Brown University
