Description

According to a long tradition, questions about the nature of knowledge are to be answered by analyzing it as a species of true belief. In light of the apparent failure of this approach, knowledge first philosophy takes knowledge as the starting point in epistemology. Knowledge First? offers the first overview of this approach.

About the Author
Aidan McGlynn is a Chancellor's Fellow in Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

Reviews

'Aidan McGlynn has done us all a tremendous favour by writing this survey of knowledge first philosophy. The recent debates about knowledge-first philosophy touch upon some of the most important issues in epistemology and related areas, and I could imagine no better introduction than this. McGlynn has a keen eye for detail and a knack for tying the details together into a larger narrative structure. The discussion is critical, but not dismissive. Proponents of knowledge first philosophy and its critics will learn a great deal from this book. I recommend it without reservation.' - Clayton Littlejohn, King's College London, UK

'McGlynn takes a synoptic view of the knowledge first movement, teasing apart its various strands and offering powerful criticisms of many of them. For anyone with an interest in contemporary epistemology, this is essential and compelling reading.' - Martin Smith, University of Glasgow, UK

Will definitely use again!

Great experience and I have zero concerns. They communicated through the shipping process and if there was any hiccups in it, they let me know. Books arrived in perfect condition as well as being fairly priced. 10/10 recommend. I will definitely shop here again!

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
