How Do We Know? (2020): An Introduction to Epistemology

4.80 out of 5 stars

Description

What lies at the heart of knowledge? Can we trust our understanding of the world? The pursuit of truth is a fundamental aspect of human existence, yet it raises profound questions about the very nature of knowledge itself. Epistemology, the branch of philosophy that explores the complexities of knowledge, may seem intimidating, but it is essential to navigating the intricacies of human life. As curious beings, we are driven to uncover the truth, which leads us to ponder the foundations, sources, and boundaries of our knowledge. Must our beliefs be grounded in reason? Can we attain absolute certainty? In this comprehensive introduction to epistemology, James Dew and Mark Foreman delve into the discipline, guiding readers through its core concepts and principles. This revised edition, now the inaugural volume in IVP's Questions in Christian Philosophy series, has been expanded to include new material. By posing fundamental questions and using clear, concise language, the authors provide an accessible gateway to one of the most pivotal issues in contemporary philosophy. The Questions in Christian Philosophy series offers a range of introductory texts that provide students with a Christian perspective on various philosophical disciplines, empowering them to understand the multifaceted nature of existence, knowledge, ethics, art, and more. Written by experts in their fields, each volume is designed to be approachable for students new to the subject matter.
