The twenty-eight essays in this Handbook, all by leading experts in the=20
field, provide the most extensive treatment of various epistemological=20
problems, supplemented by a historical account of this field. The entries=20
are self-contained and substantial contributions to topics such as the=20
sources of knowledge and belief, knowledge acquisition, and truth and=20
justification. There are extensive essays on knowledge in specific fields:=
=20
the sciences, mathematics, the humanities and the social sciences,=20
religion, and language. Special attention is paid to current discussions on=
=20
evolutionary epistemology, relativism, the relation between epistemology=20
and cognitive science, sociology of knowledge, epistemic logic, knowledge=20
and art, and feminist epistemology. This collection is a must-have for=20
anybody interested in human knowledge, and its fortunes and misfortunes.
