Recenzje

'A wonderfully entertaining and lucid introduction to the philosophy of knowledge. Hetherington challenges readers to find their own epistemology and think about why knowledge matters. It's hard to think of many, if any, better introductions to the subject.' Quassim Cassam, University of Warwick 'Hetherington's book is an ideal entry point not only to epistemology, but to philosophy itself. Working through a well-chosen series of issues, he shows how to construct a philosophical theory and how to embrace its impact on one's life.' Baron Reed, Northwestern University
