Part of the bestselling Very Short Introductions series - over six million copies sold worldwide
What is knowledge? How does it differ from mere belief? Do you need to be able to justify a claim in order to count as knowing it? How can we know that the outer world is real and not a dream?
Questions like these are ancient ones, and the branch of philosophy dedicated to answering them - epistemology - has been active for thousands of years. In this thought-provoking Very Short Introduction, Jennifer Nagel considers these classic questions alongside new puzzles arising from recent discoveries about humanity, language, and the mind. Nagel explains the formation of major historical theories of knowledge, and shows how contemporary philosophers have developed new ways of understanding knowledge, using ideas from logic, linguistics, and psychology. Covering topics ranging from relativism and the problem of scepticism to the trustworthiness of internet sources, Nagel examines how progress has been made in understanding knowledge, using everyday examples to explain the key issues and debates

這本書寫得很爛,作者大量地使用插入語、引語,緻使文章讀起來磕磕巴巴,缺乏節奏感。 第五章寫得很垃圾垃圾,害得我費瞭一天的時間琢磨。那些吹捧的人如果不服,我來摘一段話,你給我現場說說啥意思。 估計作者沒啥水平!你能感覺得到文章邏輯的混亂。這本書是領域綜述的定位...

圖書標籤: 哲學 知識論 牛津通識讀本 方法論 VSI knowledge 英語 Oxford
這本寫得清晰多瞭還超級精煉為什麼不當教材?!!
評分有啓發,但是很淺顯,僅限瞭解。
評分前幾天不想學英語,當閱讀看的…50%的時候沒太看懂導緻前後有些脫節。瞭解瞭一些哲學史上我不知道的人……前半部分就是一小半的哲學史…
評分簡潔也太簡單瞭。知識與事實相關聯,但並非每一個事實都是知識的要件。大多數認識論學者的知識理論都是從單個的認知主體與事實之間的聯係齣發。knowledge links a subject to a truth,所以,knowledge與opinion的區彆在它們那裏的區分並不明顯。Gettier時代的“知識”依舊被等同於被證實的真信念。而被證實的真信念依舊不能說是知識,後者超越於證言和真信念的總和。經典理論的睏境,存在於正當理由與事實的鴻溝之間。最理想的狀態就是找到一種知識理論,同時能夠結閤抽象和客觀,也就是調和笛卡爾的第一人視角和洛剋的第三人視角。
