Rezensionen

"Morton's highly readable third edition treats a notoriouslydifficult topic with pizzazz. Colorful illustrations encouragereaders to think deeply about complex issues, not just memorizewhat philosophers have said about them. One could hardly hope for abetter guide through the rough terrain of epistemology." MartinMontminy, University of Ottawa

"This new edition of Adam Morton's well-established introductionto epistemology will be extremely helpful to students and teachers.The book is particularly suited for those coming to the area forthe first time. It is clear without being simplistic, engagingwithout being patronizing, and introductory without being bland.This new edition brings the discussion up to date, while the newchapter on externalism and epistemic virtues explores the issuesvery well. Once again, Morton's guidance will be invaluable tomany." Robert Stern, University of Sheffield
